HARVEST FESTIVAL

There are people with whom times
and seasons count for nothing; each
scar represents for them the same
dull round of mOnotOny. Not so the
Salvation Army. Here we have peo.
pie, broadcast, worldwide, whose con
sistent endeavor and method It Is to
derive from each season everything
that by any possibility can be put to
'ise for practical benefit and upllrt of
humankind.
In the winter and spring they have
their enormous, well-nigh immeasur.
able relief work among the starving,
Freezing poor; in the summer they
have their penny-ice wagons, their
outings, ,their fresh.air camps, all for
tme intolerably poor of our cities and
towns; whilst in the autumn, for the
sake of these same miserably poor.
they hold yearly their harvest festi.
2al of Thanksgiving to the Lord for
? the harvest.
This years date for the Harvest
Festival is set for October 18th TO
18Th, Inclusive, during which period
The Army, the whole country over, are
putting forth special effort to raise
money to carry on this work. The 10
cal corps Of Honolulu are not behind
any Of the rest, but are putting forth
every effort to do their part in this
glorious work.

pected, and no trouble was caused by
his arrival. He was ready for supper
five minutes after he got inside the
house. He had all his impediments in
hand, not garment had to be bor-
rowed or washed.
Contrast in Their Rooms.
"The rooms of these three men
throughout the visit presented an in
structive contrast. Yale never hung
up anything, even upon a chair. The
floor was good enough for him, upon
any and all occasions. 1t was physi-
cally impossible to keep his room in
order. Half an hour after it was ar
ranged 1t was again a scene of fright
full disorder. AS for Cornell, there was
one shade less disorder in his room.
that was ALL. But as for the business
boy, the only signs that his room had
been occupied were the unavoidable
ones of the bed and washstand. Not
garment of his had to be picked up
during his stay.
THE Yale boys departure was as
interesting as his arrival. He set the
date three times, and each time post
poned it because of fresh invitations
for social functions. OF course, he was
welcome to stay. He was an old friend
of the family, every one liked him.
means were ample. But an expected
departure, put off three times, is bound
to inconvenience household arrange
ments The night before he left the
young people came home at ,12 o'clock
from party. AT that hour of the night
his trunk was brought in from the barn.
and he began to pack for his departure
the next morning. The first thing he
discovered was that he had lost his
keys. They were not to be found, so
all the dress suit cases of the family
were pressed into service and packed
with his clothes. When he finally drove
off next morning, accompanied by the
empty trunk. the family suit cases and
his bunch of golf sticks, he forgot his
umbrella, so that the only thing he
brought with him he left behind.
And" said Mrs. Hooper, although
he was a delightful. popular boy, whom
no one could help liking, the household
heaved a sigh of relief when he was
really gone.
Cornell got away in much the same
manner, though with shade more dig
nifty. The three visiting girls announc-
ed that, not to follow the example of
their Yale friend, they were going to
pack. So they packed industriously all
one afternoon; and yet for days after
shoes, fans, portions Of bathing suits

Large and small polka dots trim
many of the new velvet and cloth
gowns. They are of velvet of a lighter
or darker shade than the gown and are
appliqued in numerous ways in either
perpendicular or horizontal lines.
One stunning dark green velvet suit
has each gore of the skirt ornamented
with an uprigh row of lighter green
velvet dots which vary in size from a
dot of about two inches in diameter,
at the bottom of the skirt, to one of
about the size of a quarter at the top
of the row, which is about half way
up the skirt The blouse coat is also
appliqued with polka dots, but of the
smaller sizes, which run downwards
from yoke-shaped collar of baby lamb
fur.
Another smart costume that is trim

conscionably long time-not, in fact,
until every one in the house was near
ly starved. and the maids were in that
state of mind dreaded by every house
wife. Afterward it was found that
Cornell had brought twenty photo
graphs of one young woman with him,
and that he had been employing the
time in arranging them to his salts
faction.
The Yale boy arrived in exactly the
same fashion. The son drove to town
another evening, did not return, and
the father said: Wed better eat on
time; probably he will bring back an
other boy with him. He spoke in joke,
but 1t proved the exact truth. Yale
had also sent a postal card to an
nounce his arrival by the 6:15 train
When he came in he had nothing with
him but an umbrella. His trunk was
lost, and he had to dress for his first
appearance in the sons clothes. He
stopped to make an elaborate toilet,
which also made his first meal in the
house very late, and caused more
righteous indignation in the bosoms of
the maids.
when his trunk finally arrived he
went to the lady of the house and ask
He was strapped he said-so much
in need Of clean clothes that he could
not walt for the laundry
He was entirely unconscious that
his tennis suit was of fine white fan-
mel, over which any ordinary laundress
would come to grief, and that the mis-
tress of the house washed it herself
So unconscious was he Of what he had
asked that he came back in two hours
to ask if it were ready for him. And
yet he was one of the sweetest, politest
boys In the world-one of the kind that
would never sit down when a woman
was standing. But when it came to
anything practical he seemed to have
no conception of the trouble he was
giving. And yet he had been in Yale
college two years.
Now, the third man arrived upon
the scene-the young fellow who had
been in business for two or three years
in New York. But before he came ar
rived letter. The letter stated that
his vacation had been granted him un-
expectedly, and that he would take adj
vantage Of his invitation now, if 1T
were perfectly convenient to the mis-
tress of the house. He inclosed %
cents for a telegram, and said that he
would not start unless he received a
message stating that it was convenient
to have him at this time.
The telegram was sent, he was ex-
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-01-30

and so on kept turning up to remind the
FAMILY of the departed ones.
But no one know when the young
business man packed. He departed at
the moment when he said he would; he
left nothing behind him. He was the
ideal guest. Perhaps he was not born.
Perhaps he was only made by a few
years in the big world of business. At
any rate. his visit was pronounced an
unalloyed pleasure, with no deprecatory
ifs or butts
And yet, l do think that reasonable
latitude should be given guests When
a too rigid conformance to the rules Of
the household is demanded a visit is
apt to assume the aspect of a sojourn
in prison. 1 had an aunt once upon a
time who was so particular that every
one should come to meals the moment
the bell rang that 1 always went to
sleep in terror that L would not wake
In time for breakfast. The moral re-
sponsibility of being at meals on time
weighed heavily on that household;
and although she was the soul of hos
pitality. and loved to entertain. visits
to her house came to be dreaded.
when friends came In Unexpectedly
at or near meal time, 1t Is true hospi-
tality to offer them what we have with
out apologies, without ceremony What
is good enough for the family is good
enough for the unexpected guest. I
know woman who uses red or blue
denim tablecloths for breakfast or
luncheon If a guest comes unexpect-
edly she will move heaven and earth
to get this off and get on a white linen
tablecloth. Why should she? That Is
not hospitality. 1t is ostentation; false
pride. know there are times when we
entertain formally, with the best and
most expensive at our command Rut
this is not hospitality. This IS enter
taining; formal function, when the
guests expect the finest at our dis

what we have there for the family; be-
cause we all have to stop to eat some
where, and we could talk while we eat"
