FROM FOREIGN LANDS
Souvenirs of Mrs CarsOn's Card
Party Were Gathered.

souvenirs of Mrs CarsOn's Card
Party Were Gathered.
Nothing more elaborate and beauti=
full in the way of card parties has
been given this season than the de-
liehtful afternoon affair which Mrs.
]. A. G. Carson entertained yesterday.
"reminiscences of a recent trip around
the world suggested the leading idea
Of the decorations and appointments,
and added an unusual interest to the
afternoons pleasure. The hall was
hung with Indian trophies and irnpIe-
ments, and, to carry out the idea,
the tables arranged here for the play
ers were supplied with Indian souve-
Mrs. The games were marked with
tiny pipes, baskets, and little pictures
of Indian heads, and the ten ana
twenty hands with papooses and snow
shoes These were tied to the individ-
uaI score cards. which, as we'll as the
table cards, bore pictures of Indians
or Indian scenes.
The first drawing room suggested
a bird's-eye view of many strange lands
from California to Japan. Each of
the tally cards held in the upper cor
ner a colored picture of some foreign
country or its natives, surrounded by
a border of hearts, clubs, spades and
diamonds. The individual scores were

ace at Knossos, he said, has been
specially important from the strait
graphical point Of view. Below the
foundations of the later building fresh
evidence had come to light Of the ex-
istence of an earlier palace, the con-
tents of which showed connections
with the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt
and revealed a high development OF
civilization by the middle Of the third
millennium before our era. Below this
level again were structures belonging
to a still earlier civilized stratum,
which, in turn, overlaid twenty-five
feet OF neolithic deposits. Besides
these remote stages a remarkable Sc
ries of discoveries had now made clear
the existence of an earlier stratum in
the later palace. 1t now appeared that
below the paved floors of rooms and
corridors belonging to this concluding
period-itself of considerable duration
were remains Of magazines, and no
tably of a whole series Of stone re-
ceptacles which had been definitely
closed at some time of great disturb
nce-approximately about 1900 B. C.
and the later paved floors built over
them. Several of these repositories
belonging to this penultimate period
contained quantities Of gold foil and
remains Of cypress wood chests that
had been inlaid with plaques of crys-
tai and faience, and which, doubtless,
once contained treasures.
The two most spacious and important
of these repositories were filled with
relics of sanctuary, including faience
figures of snake goddess and votaries,
exquisite inlays and reliefs of the
same material, tablets showing new
intermediate form of script, and clay
sealings that had belonged to priest
ly documents now persisted. 1t was
remarkable that several of these bore
religious symbols in the shape either
of a plain cross or of a crux gammata
or "Swastika." But the great sur
prise OF the excavation was the dis
covery of what seemed to have been
the central object of cult, in the form
of a marble cross Of orthodox Greek
shape. DIR. Evans referred to other
pre-Christian survivals of this symbol
which seemed to Mt on to this MinoAn
cult. In the same way the Minoan
idea of the dove as Divine intermediary
had also showed itself very persistent.
These remains belonged to what APP
peared to have been an extensive sanc-
tuary in the west wing OF the paface,
including the pillars incised with the
double axes. A dependence OF the pail
ace on the northeast, also recently ex-
cavated, showed a marvelously preserv-
ed roval villa, with flights OF stairs
and remains of upper stories, the prin-
cipal hall OF which afforded an ex-
traordinary anticipation OF the later
basillca.

parasols and butterflies, with larger
favors, cats, swans and fruit, for the.
lone hands. The flowers used in dec
Grating were white sweet peas, which
looked very delicate and pretty amid
the masses Of maidenhair fern on the
mantels.
The second room was in pink, with
pink sweetpeas, and the dining room
in red, with red roses on the table,
and both were japanese in the general
surroundings and the accessories of the
card tables. Japanese lanterns and
small umbrellas were swung from the
chandeliers, and over the archway In
the dining room windows, and there
were, in addition, many curious and
beautiful souvenirs brought from the
Far East. The illustrated post cards
and the tally cards showed, in these
rooms, only Japanese scenes. The
games were marked with lanterns,
Japanese dolls, cats, and monkeys, and
the lone hands with miniature sacred
monkeys and larger dolls.
The Japanese idea was extended to
the decoration of the dining table from
which the refreshments were served,
and even to the cakes, which were
made and colored in the design of ca
noes, tepees, lanterns, fans, with Jap
anese heads, and arrowheads. The en-
tire entertainment was unique and
beautiful, and notable, even in this
day of elaborate card parties.
Miss Sasnett, Miss Angie Cubbedge,
Miss Eula Gamble, Miss Ethel Taylor

or Indian costume, assisted Mrs. Car

CATS ON OCEAN LINERS.
They are as Much Part of the
Crews as the Men.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
"Cats?" repeated the second mate of
the big ocean liner Campania, as she
lay alongside her dock the other day.
l"Of course there are cats aboard. Who
ever heard OF ship without cats?
couldn't say how many for you must
remember this ship is as big as the
Waldorf Astoria, and there are cats
that eat at the officers table and cats
that eat with the stokers, and nobody
ever stops to count them.
"Cats don't sign the ships articles,
but they are as much a part OF the
crew as any man that has the ships
tabby cat, Minnie, who hasn't missed
a trip since she first came aboard eight
years ago; and fine ratter she is. She
wouldn't eat a rat any more than you
would, for she has been trained not
to, and she gets plenty of good beef
and mutton to eat. with fish for des-
sert now. and then; but she knows her
business, and she doesn't leave much
for the professional rat catchers with
traps who overhaul the ship every time
she gets in port.
Nov and then" continued the mate,
"there is some rivalry between the cats
in the matter OF place. Minnie has
always been the saloon cat until lately
A few months ago she had family
of kittens, and one Of them, "A fine
young tom that looks like his mother,
decided TO GUST her from her berth on
the saloon deck. He began by making
friends with the officers, and then every
time he saw his mother coming he
chased her away until now, for the
sake OF peace, she is Obliged 10 stay
down among the hremen, while the VIC
torlous tom is the saloon cat"
A little further down the river the
Oceanic was at her pier, and there
was the same story Of the ships fam

sometimes a dozen on board, and they
follow the men around like dogs. There

AT THE THEATER

The Charleston Light Dragon Min
streIs gave an enjoyable show last
night to an exceedingly slim audience
and one that was top heavy, at that.
In the cast there are some good voices,
potably that of Mr.. Charles Litschgi,
Jr., and some of the terpsichorean
specialties were far above the aver
age, but the feature par excellence Of
the assembly is the orchestra, COM
posed of members of the First Artil-
lery Band, stationed at Fort Moultrie,
near Charleston.
The jokes were we'll received, and the
majority of them were adapted. to fit
local persons and places. The butt of
one of the hardest knocks was
present and occupied a prominent place.
This is. the second season of the
show, though this is its first trip on
the road. During the present season
it has given two performances in
Charleston and to-day will give matt
nee and night performance in Augusta.

company consists of Messrs. Kelsey

Among the specialties were a musical
trio by the Smeedes Brothers, and Fer
