A RAINBOW EUCHRE.

A rainbow euchre carried out in a different way from the general idea of a rainbow affair was given recent ly by a hostess who knows how to entertain. Four colors were chosen, pink, yellow, red and green and four rooms were fitted up in colors. In the pink room the card tables were covered with pink cheesecloth and the tally cards were tied with pink rib bon. The vases were filled with pink roses and the lights were covered with pink rose shades made of crepe tissue paper. The young ladies who assist ed in this room and punched the score wore pink gowns with bows of pink ribbon in their hair.
 In the yellow room the tables were covered with yellow, and the tally cards were tied with ribbon the same color. Yellow jonquils and yellow shades were used here The gowns of the assisting ladies were cream color and they wore sashes and corsage knots of yellow ribbon. Ferns and smilax and green table covers were used in the green room, and green and white shades were used on the lights Red carnations and everything else in red made the dining room rich in color.

POSTING THE GLOVE.

One of those old world customs
 dating from time immemorial which
 are still to be found fIourishing in
 parts of rural England was observed at Honiton recently, when ill quaint
 phraseology the annual fair was de-
 clared open. Attired in a costume
 somewhat resembling that of the an
 cient parish beadles, with three-cor,
 nered hat, blue coat and trousers and
 waistcoat, plentifully ornamented
 with gilt braid. the brown crier Of the ancient borough took up his stand at midday outside the market house. As the hour strnck this gorgeously att tired official delivered himself of the following announcements ''Oyez !.
 oyez! .oyez The fairss begun. The
 glove is up. No man can be arrested till the glove is taken down. God
 save the king'' This proclamation, which was made in the presence ot the borough officials and members of
 the council, annually attracts large
 crowd of visitors and sightseers, and
 the assemblage repeats in chorus the
 words of the proclamation. The an.
 nouncement is also made 1n other
 parts of the town, and at the conclu. sion of each stoppage nuts are thrown for the crowd to scramble for. The fair dates back to the time of Henry III, when Isabella de Fortibus was the lady of the manor. The .glove" is
 large gilt model of glove or hand affixed to the top of pole. It is
 displayed on the balcony of an an
 cient hostelry in the center of the cattle fair on the Wednesday and on
 Thursday is removed to the other end of the town. where the horse fail is held. The promised immunity from
 arrest is relic of ''the good old days'' when the debtors laws were in exist
 ence--LonGos, Daily Mail.

FOOLS AND SOOTHSAYERS.
Fortune Tellers Who Swindle the Very
 Poor Should Be Punished.

Fortune Tellers Who Swindle the Very
 Poor Should Be Punished. When fortune tellers swindle the poor and ignorant we would make them snffer smartly for it. Certainly the ingenuity of a professional fortune teller is in itself educative. The craft with which she throws out yelled hints, the subtlety with which she pOunces upon any lucky shot and the diplomacy which she uses to eXtort confessions are often magnificent.
 Observe the rapt, far-away look with which she asks you abruptly: "Who is EtIelg There is a possibility that you know some one of that name, in which case the odds are that you will afford her some clue for intelligent an- ticipations- If, however, you indig- i nantly deny any such acquaintance J she can always fall back upon the < very safe statement that the name will be familiar to you later on.
 l Such procedure reminds us of the famous doge of Disrae1i who, when ever he met man whom he did not know but felt he ought to know, in quired suavely: "How is the old com plaintY'
 i Playing this little comedy one day in Pail Mall he was met with the dis concerting reply: Complaint! never had an ache or q pain in my life" whereupon he put his head on one side and said with a sympthetic sigh, sAh I meant the wife," The secret of the success of most charlatans is that, if they go on making a sufficient number of shots, some of them are bound even- 1 tually to hit the mark.
 | We remember the case of a clairyoy i ant who told fair client that two good spirits were watching over her, and that their names were Juliet and Jane. The visitor stoutly declared that there were no such persons. But when she came home and told her mother of the episode, she was re minded to her amazement that those were indeed the names of two sisters who had died in infancy.
 Fortune telling, we should say, is q harmless pastime so long as it is not taken seriously. But what about edu- cated and most respectable folk who take it very seriously? We are accus- toned to pity MT Johnson because he could not pass a lamp post. without touching it, but what shall we say of people who forego important enter prises on days which they imagine to be unlucky, who deliberately make themselves the sport of chance or re sign their reason to designing adven- turers?
 We would not fly in the face of an- cient beliefs, the origin of which may have been forgotten, nor do we forget that the founders of Thirteen clubs have often perished miserably.

LONDON DREADS
 THE, WINTER

By all reports and tokens we are ill for winter of exceptional distress. Trade is slack and the labor market soverstocked; a very general feeling exists that England has entered the zone of severe commercial depression. Taking London as a whole. the pres ent lack of employment even before the opening of November, Is as great as, if not greater than, is commonly the case in the middle of winter. On this the officials who administer the poor law, the secretaries and Agents of the innumerable charity societies, and the officers of the Salvation Army who know the poor of London as no other church knows them, seem to be in deplorable agreement During the twenty-one years that have been working here,'' writes the vicar of Plaistow, T have never found so much distress at this time of year.
