Reception in Honor of Mrs. Il. ID. Davis.
One of the most elegant entertain
ments ever given in this city was the
luncheon given by Mrs. R. w. Millsaps,
in honor of her lovely daughter, Mrs.
2. D. Davis.
The beautiful Millsaps home never
looked more attractive than on this oc-
casion, the brilliant lights and luxuri-
Gus appointments within contrast ng
strongly with the dull and chilly at
mosphere outside.
Mrs. Millsaps was assisted in receiv-
ing by Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Butterfeld, of
Brookhaven, and Mrs. Will Henry.
The dining room was perfect pic
ture of warmth and welcome, and surely
an artistic brain designed the brilliant
color scheme especially for bleak,
gray January day. The walls and
chandeliers were hung with long
wreaths of smilax, festooned and tied
with broad satin ribbons.
From great cut glass bowl on the
large center table, wealth of Ameri-
can beauty roses breathed memories
of June. Cut-glass candelabra, wreath
ed in smilax and holding crimson ia
pers tied with satin ribbons, were up
on squares of exquisite lace over Grim
son satin.
Crimson carnations were lavishly
used in the decoration of the three
smaller tables, and the whole effect
was one of unusual beauty.
The 'name cards" were of most ar
tistic design, carrying out the color
scheme of the decorations, and bear
ing on the reverse side quotations, so
APPLY and appropriately selected as to
cause much amusement.
Another source of greatest merri-
ment was the ice cream, it being fro
zen in the form of tiny white geese,
each one being the proverbial Mother
Goose in her red cloak and tall point
ed hat on her back.
Among the ladies who enjoyed Mrs.
Millsaps hospitality on this occasion
were:
Mrs. A. H. Longino; Mrs. w. B, Muir
rah. Mrs. Mary..T. Howe, Mrs. Judge
Brame, Mrs. R. H. Henry, Mrs. M.

QUO vADIs COMING.

The wonderful success attending the
production of this play has made it a
sensation of the present dramatic sea
son. The book, of which the play is a
dramatization has been so extensively
read and so favorably spoken of by
the critics and pulpit, that everyone is
anxious to see it in dramatic form: for
this reason 1t appeals not only to the
regular theatre-going element, but also
to that great class of people who but
rarely visit the play house. This ac-
counts in a measure for its success.
The story of the play is both instruc.
tive and elevating, expressing the lof-
test OF sentiments and showing the
sufferings of the early Christians; de-
picts a thrilling story of life and love
and gives opportunity for startling eff
fects and sensational scenes. Its &C
ton admits of its elaborate scenic
surroundings, but the success of the
play in manner depends on stage
craft and beautiful story well told.
The state version of the romance
opens in the house of Petronius and
the action begins with Vinicius con-
Tossing his love for Lygia, the ward
and supposed daughter of Aulus Plau-
thus. Lygia is in reality a hostage of
the State and on this pretext is seized
by Nero's Pretorian guard at the sug-
gestion of the Emperor's favorite,
Petronius, uncle of Vinicius. Taken
to the Royal Palace she escapes
through the agency of Ursus, her
giant protector, but is pursued by vi
nicius, who in the course of his adven-
lures falls among the Christians and
meets Peter the Apostle. Lygia is a
Christian and Vinicius, moved by his
experiences among the martyrs, adopts
their religion.
The play ends with the victory of
Ursus over the wild bull in the arena.
"Quo Vadis" will be presented at
Heuck's opera house Wednesday, Feb
ruary 9th.

Evolution of the Wrapper.

Time was when the wrapper played
such an important part in the comic
papers and was such an untidy gar
nent that it was banished from any
correct outfit; but the dainty wrap
pers of to-day and the pretty matinees
make a charming style of morning
dress and one that is comfortable and
appropriate. The kimono and such
flowing garments should be RELOCATED
to the bedroom, but pretty wrapper,
with a fitted lining, may have loose
fronts and Vatican plait in the back,
and yet not look in the least untidy or
too negligee. The crepons, cashmeres,
chalies and India silks are all good
for these wrappers, especially in light
colors. White is the smartest, of
course. but soils too easily to make it
practical for the majority of women.
White lace should be used in trim
ming all wrappers, for as soon as it
becomes in the least soiled it may be
taken off and washed or cleaned, and
in this way is a much better trimming
than ribbon or chiffon, which rarely
look the same after cleaning

THE RIVER.

Softly the breath of morning steals faint
across the sky,
Silently back to cloudland the chilling
vapors HE,
And out of the chaos of darkness another
day is won,
While careless OF the wonder, the river
foweth on.
The day mounts high and higher, the heav-
ems melt TO brass;
Along the glazing highway the weary peo-
pie pass.
Faint with their ceaseless toiling and
dropping meath the sun,
Unconscious that the river still tirelessly
flows on.
The sky fades back to golden then blanches
into gray,
With purple shadows creeping across the
western way.
The day deeps into darkness, its race is
fairly run,
But the great insistent river still pause
lessly flows on.
Youth hath its dawn OF promise: manhood
its stress and strain
When the sun beats hot from the zenith
and the goal is hard to gain,
But age and death and twilight come when
the day is done,
And we lie at rest unmindful that the
river floweth on.

n ANNON bought the dog from the
VI keeper ola malodorous little shop,
where birds, monkeys, cats and other
pets were kept for sale. He went
there to buy goldfish for his maiden
aunt, who lived in the country, and
he had no notion of investing in a
dog, but such friendship sprang up
between him and the brute that he
couldn't resist.
Cannon claims that the dog asked
him to buy him as plainly as a person
could without the use of articulate
speech, but dog owners are as keen
to discern and exploit the wisdom of
their pets as mothers are to inter
pref the gurglings of their babies,
and allowance must be made for this

There was no apparent end to his

erything possible to a dog of his
giant physique, he did, and Cannon
set as much store by him as though
he were human. He acted as body
guard for his master, whose Office
was in Real Estate row, and could
be trusted to Gerry note to anyone
of a dozen or more places. His size,

the silks used the very finest floss;

of fneness, needle-painting of the
most delicate type. Very fine threads

when fresh, makes it blend so restful-

pale silvery blue, and the little sprays
filing the spaces are crimson flow

Still he vas not a dog to encourage
close. friendships. He was uniformly
afable, but for Cannon alone he
seemed to cherish an abiding affec-
ton. If they were separated Jim
would not eat, and at a word from
Cannon he would have launched his
big carcass at a wild elephant.
Their friendship had endured two
years when Jim performed the feat
that brought him the broad silver
collar that he wears. Two highway
men attacked Cannon, and Jim broke
the right arm of one of them, and
Cannon shot the other with the re-
volver that Jim's prisoner dropped.
The robbers were criminals of note,
out of the exploit, but neither seemed
jealous of the other.
1t was soon after this that Gam
non saw The Woman. Jim was not
with him, and if he had been the result
would have been the same. For Gam
non lost his heart as soon as his eyes
rested on her. Her skin was as
smooth and soft as the sunkissed
side of a peach, and the CLEAN of the
topaz was in her eyes. Her person
atty was burned into Gannon's brain

with her image just behind his eye
balls. Half forgotten bits of verse
and fragments of love songs strug-
gled for utterance on his lips. He
hadn't spoken to her. He might
never see her again, but she was The
Woman. He might marry another,
but hers would be the image in his
inner heart.
When Cannon saw her next Jim
was with him. She was coming from
a department store. Cannon gazed
on her as long as he could without
attracting the attention of the po-
liceman stationed on the corner to
discourage the MASKING industry. He

and impossible schemes fer forming

California,S Treasures.

The California Miners association
has recently published a treatise on
the mineral wealth of that state
which brings out some facts that are
not generally known. Gold, of course,
holds the lead, but it will probably
surprise many to learn that the value
of the quicksilver annually produced
in California is so per cent. greater
than the value of the silver found
there, and that even the petroleum
output of the state exceeds the silver
production in value. Copper and
boraX rank among the important
minerals of California.
