DINNERS OF SOULS.

Dinners of souls are the latest amuse-
ment Of the smart set in Paris at least
that part of the smart set which has in
tellectual pretensions. The invited guests
each impersonate some celebrity, not by
means of clothes or other masquerading
follies, but by speech and manner, by
accent, tricks of voice or attitude and
by repeating celebrated speeches or parts
of speeches of the celebrities, providing
the quotations are apropos.

ODD MISS CLEVELAND,

Since Miss Rose Cleveland, the sister
of Grover Cleveland, evolved certain as
tonishing poems, she has dropped out of
the public eye. Miss Cleveland who has
a fortune of her own, passed the winter
in bungalow on the west coast of Flor
ida. Her winter home is in Naples, where
there are just five houses, and she fishes
and sails and entertains few friends who
go to that region. In a gasolene launch
or a small yawl she and her guests cruise
between the splendid keys that protect
the west coast. Miss Cleveland holds her
years wonderfully. She is English in her
mannerisms and dresses in queer fashion.
Usually she wears huge sunbonnet, a
khaki skirt and a white waist.

BEADS IN JAP DESIGNS.

Women who .wearied Of the beadwork
in Indian patterns which enjoyed such a
vogue last summer will now find an ex-
cuse for taking up their discarded looms.
The rage for anything Japanese has found
vent in beadwcrk, following convention
allied Japanese patterns. These cannot be
bought at shops as yet, tho doubtless the
patterns will soon be on the market, but
any woman with an eye for colors can
evolve her own patterns from japanese
prints showing borders or panels.
Cherry blossoms, the pride of Japan
are easily conventionalized, and dragons
are stunning done in gold, green, blue and
crimson beads. The bead fringes shown
on the new, dull-hued lamp shades are
made from beads in myriad tints, run or
the finest of copper wire.

of English women in this fashion:
"Tho it may still be thorn in the side
of English women that their American
sisters continue to take the lead in vivac-
ity and to pluck from their hands the
blooms of the peerage, yet England and
France can boast of their brilliant women
writer's, their political queens, their great
artists, but SO far America can certainly
not prove to us that she can do more
than create chattering dolls and business

HE COULDN'T SWIM.

XZESTERDAY another youth Of
Wilmington was drowned In the
Christiana because he could not
swim. Almost every day we chronicle
a similar tragedy.
At this season the boys take to the
water as naturally as the leaves come
to the trees in spring, yet not one-half
Of them know how to keep afoat IN
case Of accident.
Boys will go rowing, sailing and
swimming; and if forbidden. the inn
pulse within them is so strong that they
are apt to defy parental commands.
And then every few days some boy who
cannot swim pays the penalty with his
life.
Yet to teach boy to swim is one Of
the simplest things imaginable. Can
anybody tell us why all children are
mot taught the art? Should not there
be some means provided for insurlng
that every boy and girl shall be taught
the useful lesson Of keeping anoat?

SHEER MERIT.

Y TERY promptly comes the ex-
" planation that william Michael
Byrne was appointed as Assist
ant District Attorney for southern
New York, for "the good Of the SER
vice"
SO says his superior officer who
named BIN. and that must suffice. Pre-
sumabiy the President had nothing to
do With 1t. having doubtless forgotten
the existence Of such man as Byrne.
we must presume then, that Mr..
Byrne has made a great impression on
the legal minds of the great metropolis
during the few months OF his stay.
Many concededly able lawyers have
gone to New York only to be swallowed
up-atoms IN a sea OF atoms.
But it was not so with Byrne Inn
mediately he attracted attention; in
stantly he was recognized. The Dis
trict Attorney Of New York city looked
over the field. He saw one figure
towering above the saplings Of the
forest and the rest we know.

anything TO do with It; It was merit

most vaclllating and inconsequent of
any within public memory II was in
capable In It's speeches. riotous in it's
conduct and double-faced in It's ac-
ton. Many able men participated in
It's counsels, but the deep seated taint
OF a reckless irresponsible Organization
seemed TO infect its whole being. The
majority were half-hearted and unccr-
tain in their beliefs and the minority
were aggressive and defiant. They
reached nominal harmony through vio-
lent discord only by finally agreeing on
suppression and silence. The whole
proceeding from beginning to end was
/ typical OF an ineffective party which is
unfit for government and disqualified
even for serious and competent oppo-
sition.

MI BYRNE's latest appointment
has called down upon the Pres
ident the harshest criticism,
when that criticism might have been
avoided We give extracts from two
great papers as showing the views Of
his critics. We give them for what
they are worth. The New York World
says;
President Roosevelt is an honest man.
clean man, man by preference OF
good associations. Why Is It then that
he displays such an extraordinary at
traction for shady politicians. giving
them offices against the protests Of de-
cent members of his own party and
doggedly refusing 20 part with them
even when their records have hecome
matters of public scandal2
Mr.. Roosevelt's association with
Addicks In Delaware was bad enough.
When he picked out the gas mans
henchman Byrne for United States
District Attorney in that state the
nomination could not be forced through
the Senate because the lawyers OF the
district denounced Byrne as ncom-
petent, negligent and generally ineni-
Client Even the faithful Senator Hoar
wouldn't stand for him. But after all.
that was a Delaware matter, and peo-
pie IN other states We're Inclined to
overlook Il on the ground that 1t was
none of their business.
But now the President has picked up
this same Byrne and dumped him
down as am Assistant District Attorney
ia New York.
This Is the last straw. We can stand

And the Philadelphia Public Ledger

actual dismay, TO the friends and ad-
mirers of President Roosevelt. irre-

If this is an example Of the manner
/ In which the President purposes to

not without reason that the more ex-
/ perienced politicians of his party were
distrustful. They might not feel the
ethical objections to bargain with
Addicks. but they would al least per-
ceive the ineXpediency Of prOclaiming
II az this juncture. Ii is not however
from party considerations that The

that with one accord the leaders Of the
educational and Of the business world
should pause to Impress anew the old
lesson.
Men and women do many commend
able things from passing impulse. but
that which governs their lives from
day to day and by which we know
them is character The term is hard
to define. but we an know what #
means. A name stands merely for a
selection Of qualities and tendencies
which are centered in an individual.
In estimating the acts Of men we fire.
quently search the motives which lie
behind, yet the determining factor is
more often the innate tendencies Of the
Individual cultivated and formed into
habit.
But character has It's commercial as
pect. Leaving out Of consideration all
thought Of ethics it pays. OF all the
great volume OF business that is done
the larger amount is done on credit
And this credit is extended as often as
not when il has no more substantial
foundation than the integrity OF the in
dividual Most men are honest; some
innately so and others because 1t Is a
part Of their business training wher
the habit becomes universal business

questions; Of politics, business. society
and even Of religion. And character 81
