SOMETHING in SOUVENIRS.
The Surprise Which Awaited a Young
Matron's Guests.

Something novel and quite eff
fective in dinner souvenirs was
evolved by young married cOu-
pie in an eastern city, says the
Detroit Free Press. The table
was prcttily decorated with white
daisies and soft, green ferns. and
a small parcel, wrapped in green
paper and tied with white ribbon,
stood by each plate.
AS the guests sat down to din
ner a murmur of curiosity ran
around the table. What could be
in the parcels? Everybody was
eager to see, but they we're
marked: "Not to be opened until
half past eight"
"Why, it is only half past seven
now" exclaimed one of the
guests. "Why can't we open them
noww
The hostess smiled and shook
her head and the dinner went on
merriIy until the appointed hour,
when the parcels were undOne.
Each contained beautiful
miniature of the article which the
guest to whom it was allotted was
supposed to like best. Two Of
the guests we're good musicians,
one pianist and the other a gui-
tarist. A tiny piano was placed
by the formers plate, and a gui-
tar by the latter's. The hostess
was not noted for anything in
particular, except her fOndness
for perfumes, so she had allotted
herself a tiny wicker bottle OF
eau de cologne.
One of the men, who was known
to be fond of beer, was presented
with a stein; the second, an invet
crate smoker, got a pipe, and the
third, a noted war correspondent
a travelling trunk covered with
labels of different towns and
, countries.
After the souvenirs had been
duly admired the guests clamOred
to know why they had been kept
waiting.
"Only to arouse your curiosity
and. make you enjoy my little sur
prise all the MORE" said the host

"oLD GLORY"
Story Of the Flag Which First Bore
the Designation.

Many persons think, perhaps,
that the term, Old Glory, as APP
piled to our national flag, lust
grew" like Topsy, but there is on
record, says the Albany Argus,
an authentic account Of the fact
that it was christened so in 1881.
In the history Of the Driver fam
lily, of Salem, Mass, ii is related
that Capt. William Driver of the
ship Charles Doggett was at one
time preparing for a voyage to the
South Pacific ocean, when some of
his fellow townsmen came on
board and presented him with a
very handsomely-made flag.
The flag was done up in "spOts,"
and when it was hauled to the
mast head and broken out to the
breeze, Capt Driver called it "Old
Glory" 1t is possible that he
heard some one else use the term,
but if so he seems to have given
no intimatiOn Of the fact. for the
story credits him with inventing
it.
Capt. Driver took the flag to
the South Pacific with him, and
kept it with great care even after
he left the sea. At the time of
the civil war he was living in
Nashville, Tenn, and "Old Glory"
the original, used to kiss the
breeze from a window of his house
every day for he was a stanch
union man.
When Tennessee joined the con
fedcracy, however, he had to keep
his flag hidden, and the place he
selected was inside Il big bed
comfort, where it lay until the
latter part of February, 1862,
when the union troops entered
Nashville. He then brought it
out and offered il to Gen Nelson,
to be hauled up over the capitol.
The general accepted the offer
and Capt. Driver himself hoisted
the flag. So highly did he value it
that he watched it during the
night, and when a strong wind
came up he hauled it down and
hOisted a new one in it's place.
The captain treasured "Old
Glory" religiOusly, and when he
died, in 1886, it was sent to the
Essex institute at Salem, Mass.
where it may be seen now.
