Southern smilaX Tn profusion was everywhere, and many palms were In evidence. Red roses were displayed in the library, ana ID the morning room yellow daffodlls mace a most pleasing contract. Red anu green also predominated in the hall, the stairway being especially artisticaily decorated. In the dining room the two delicate colors of lavender and pink made a pretty combination, the shades and everything about the table decora- tions following this line of colorlng.
 Mrs. Lynde Harrison, Mrs. William Lynde Harrison and Miss Gertrude Harrison received the guests during the hours from until o'clock, and those assisting them were Mrs. Charles F. Brooker. of Ansonia, Mrs. Rutherford Trowbridge, Mrs. George l.. White, or Waterbury, Mrs Edward l.. White, ol Waterbury, Miss Caroline White, ol Waterbury, Mrs. Frederick c.

PASSENGER BRAKEMAN INJURED
Benjamin K. Haviland's Serious Fall
 at Union Depot.

Benjamin K. Haviland, a passenger brakeman on the Consolidated road, was seriously and perhaps fatally in- iured yesterday afternoon by falling at Union depot. He has been employed for several years as brakeman on a local train which leaves this city for New York shortly after 4 o'clock. Just before the train pulled out of the sta ton yesterday afternoon and before it was in motion, Haviland slipped and fell backwards, striking his head heav- fly on the concrete pavement ill front of the station. The snow storm was at it's height at the time and the steps were covered with hard trodden snow. It was doubtless due to this that he fell.
 He was taken to the New Haven hos pital in an unconscious condition and remained in semi-conscious state last evening. It was found that he had fractured the base of the skull. It was stated at the hospital last night that his condition was very critical, but that there was a chance of his recovery.

From the veranda the clink of glass
and china, the low hum of merry
cnat, the sound of half-smothered
laughter, fell upon the ear and vexed
ner with it's careless jollity. Impa-
tlently she threw herself upon the
other-the, left-side, and then-sat
bold upright in bed. =,
Not breath of air was stirring.
The night was so still she could hear
the soft tinkle of the ships bells off
the Luneta-could almost hear the
soothing plash of the wavelets on the
beach. There was nothing whatever
to cause that huge mahogany door
to swing upon it's well-oiled hinges.
She heard them close it when they
went out; she saw that it was closed
when they were, gone, yet, as she
burned on her pillow and towards the
faint light through the northward
windows, that door was slowly,
stea1thily turning, until at last, wide
open, it interposed between her and
the outward light at the front.
Many an evening lately she had lain
with her hands clasped under the
back of her bonny head looking
dreamily out through that big open
window, across the gallery beyond
and the open easements in front,
watching the twinkle of the electric
lights above the distant ramparts of
the old city and the nearer CLEAN of
the brilliant globes that hung aloft
along the west edge of the Bagum-
bayan.
Now one-half of that vista was shut
off by the massive door, the other
was unobscured, but even as with
beating heart, still as a trembling
mouse, she sat and gazed, something
glided slowly, stealthily, noiselessly
between her and those betraying
lights, something dark, dim and hui
man, for the shape was that of a
man, native, as she knew by the
stiff1y brushed-up- hair above the fore
head, the loosely falling shirt-a ma
tive taller than any of their house
hold servants-a native whose move
ments were so utterly without sound
that Maidie realized on the instant
that here was one of Manila's ia
nous misunderstanding house thieves,
and her first thought was for her re-
volver. She had left it, totally for
gotten, on the little table on the
outer gallery.
Even though still weak from her
long and serious illness, the brave,
army-bred girl was conscious of no
sentiment of fear. To cry out was
sure to bring the instant escape of
the intruder, whereas to capture him
and prevent his getting away with
such valuables as he had probably
already laid hands on became instant
