were enthusiastic in declaring 1t one O
 the prettiest small affairs given thi
 season. The table decorations were ex
 ceedingly unique, George Washington
 occupying the place of honor and dis
 tributing to the guests souvenirs in the
 shape of tiny logs and the traditionary
 hatchet. Red was the predominatine
 color and the effect was certainly most
 pleasing. Seated at the table were Mrs
 Winston J. Trowbridge, Mrs. Frank H Whittemore, Miss Mansfield, Mrs. Hen-
 ry Sargent, Mrs. Edward Sargent, Mrs. Arthur T. Hadley, Mrs. William Rice, Miss Bowers Miss Bailey, Mrs. Samuel Hemingway, Miss Parmelee.
 The annual cotillion of Kappa Psi, the sophomore society of Yale college, took place on Friday night at Delmonico's. The dance was preceded by dinners given by Mrs. Robert A. Grannis and ] Mrs. William T. Schley. Mrs. Schley 1 also gave tea in the afternoon to the guests. The committee for the cotillion was composed of Give Livingston Du | Val chairman Robert A. Grannis. jr., and Howard A. Plulnmer, MT. Du Val and MT. Grannis leading the cotlllon. The patronesses were Mrs. Edmund Coffin, Mrs. Horace c. Du Val Mrs. Robert A. Grannls Mrs. Henry 0. Havemeyer, jr., Mrs. s. Oakley Wander Poel, Mrs. Charles H. Ludington, Mrs. Walton M. Peckham, Mrs. John F. Hummer Mrs. Joseph F. -Stillman and Mrs. William T. Schley. The souvenirs were engraved with the badge of the society, the men receiving silver match boxes and the women silver pin trays. Tho favors were varied though all con- tained some reminder of the society's alma mater There were Yale fans, Yale bookmarks, bangles, silver pen- cils, umbrellas and many other pretty gifts. The decorations were all in Yale colo-s.
 A song cycle from the press of Shir- mers, Boston, written by Thomas G. Shepard. of this city, has the past week made its appearance. This production is musical setting to verses from Robert Louis Stevenson's Tn a Child's Garden" The setting is most appro- priate and very much in keeping with the spirit of Stevenson's poetry. Mr. Shepard's fac -sinile opera, Little Boy Blue" is now in the press of the Shir- mers and will be put upon the market at once. The libretto IS most effective and was written by a young New York girl, a graduate of Vassar This opera is arranged especially for children and is full of pretty melodies, both solos and choruses. The plot of the opera hinges on a plan made by Little Boy Blue"' and his friends for a fishing excursion, and despite the warnings of his friends Little Boy Blue" falls asleep behind the haycock and dreams of wild and wonderful happenings which are all portrayed upon the stage by the other players as Little Boy Blue" sleeps. The development of these representa- tions is very quaint and amusing.

 Last Friday evening in the church parlors there was an enjoyable entertainment given by the social committee of the church to the members of the choir and to the Sun. day school teachers The reception was the annual one given by the committee and was one of the most enjoyable ever given by that organization. There were addresses by Miss Fannie Walkley and by the pastor, and the church Guartette, composed of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Treat, F. Minor and Miss Sadie Thompson, rendered several pleasing selec- tions.
 Professor Bates and Mss Sims were heard in piano duets and at the conclusion of the programme there were refreshments. The attendance was very large. At the annual meeting of the church last week the reports of the various committees were heard and they showed the church to be in very fourishing condition. The meeting was one of the most satisfactory that has been held by the church in long while. Deacon Minor was appointed at the head of a com mittee for the purpose of raising money to defray the church expenses for the year. The committee that had charge of this work last year reported at the meeting that enough had been raised to cover the ex- penses for last year but that there were few outstanding bills vet to be paid. The money for these will be raised in a short while and then the church will be on a firm

BAIT FOR SUNFISH.
One Mans Method of Going Fishing
With His Boots.

There is about as much sport in
catching the big sunfish as in lifting
out the Graphic if you can get the
former in one of its savage moods.
Picker is a great CRATER on sunfish.
He has got a dozen different kinds Of
bait, but he says that it is all nonsense
to trouble about digging worms. He
declares that beef run through Il ham,
burg steak grinder Is just the proper
caper for the sunfish at Creve Cpur
lake. The tougher the beef the better,
as it will cut in long strips like angle
worms. i" '..
"When the sunish are biting right
smart, it is about all that l car do to be
kept in the shop" said Picker. II be-
lieve me and the sunfish are the most
cheering things out. Do you know, 1
have noticed old time fishermen at
Breese's lake wading around in the
shallow water, where the sunfish are
found at spawning time, as carefully
as If they were fishing for trout. Now,
it Is different with me when l 60 out
with my hamburg steak to feed the
golden bellied beauties on. 1 just tie
the line to each leg of my boots, take a
little short rod In my hand and stride
into the water and 60 ahead. On the
bootleg lines l use red flies. Why, the
sunfish come up and get stuck on my
fly hooks three or four at a time. That's
the way to catch a mess of fish In a
few hours.
II can catch crapple with crawfsh
tails to beat the band If l cannot get
minnows. Crickets are great sunhsh
and bass bait. while the katydids will

night. Just let your hook sing once
with a green katy on. and If there
Is a crappie within a radius Of
10 or Is feet 1t will come like

you get no bite, you can pull your
freight up a few car lengths and try a
rew place. l caught all those big crap

get no minnows for love or money. so
chased up some crawfsh and went

BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIM So"
William Gillette, the greatest Ameri-
can dramatist, author of more succ cessiul
plays than any other native author has
ever presented, will present bis latest
and greatest comedy success, "Because
She Loved Him So," at the opera house
on Saturday, Feb. 16.h. This comedy
Is credited with being much funnier
than 1.-THE Private Secretary" "Too
Much Johnson" "All the Comforts of
Home" &C. When one takes into con-
sideration that William Gillette wrote
"Held by the Enemy" and "Secret
Service" it can be easily understood
that because She Loved Him So"
will be a we'll constructed piece of stage
literature. The comedy achieved long
runs In New York City at the Madison
Square theatre, also In Boston and
Chicago, and one of the greatest success
ses wherever presented last season. The
same fine cast will be seen in the COM
edy this season.

read the following from the Atlanta
Journal of the 9Th, inst: "A Trip to
Coontown" was seen by an immense
audience last night at the Columbia.
The galleries couldn't have held an
other person, while the lower portion Of
the theater was we'll filled. The show
is one OF the most pretentious affairs
ever offered here by colored company.
1t might properly be styled a rsgtime
farce comedy, into which clever spec
islties, singing and dancing were intro
duced at every turn. Bob Cole, Billy
Johnson, Sam Lucas, Carter and Hill
man, Murphy and Slater, Rastus and
Banks, Lloyd Gibbs, Thomas Craig and
Edna Alexander deserve special mention
for their excellent specia1ties. The
scenery was good and the costumes
