The amusemeuts can consist of fish

written the fate Of the fisherman.

another way to carry out the idea. The
refreshments can be simple or elab-
crate but suggestive Of the day.
If the luncheon is to be passed,
sandwiches cut heart-shaped and filled
with seasoned minced tongue, sardines
or egg and olive mixtures will be
found delicious. Hcart-shaped tarts
with currant jelly filing; small heart
cakes with icing and tiny silver pei.
lets outline the heart shape; beet sal

hearts, and red raspberry ice formed
into hearts with tiny gilt darts thrust
through, will be found moderate in

Most Appropriate Day.
Feb. IA is the most appropriate day
in all the year on which to announce
nuptial engagement, and clever hos
tesses are conceiving odd and novel
in whinI, t0 no r.
ones most intimate friends.
One dainty way is to present each
invited guest-as they enter the room
with long stemmed flower, a rose
or carnation, to which is attached, by
a green or pink ribbon, a little enve-
lope containing pink heart on which
the engagement is written.
Another clever arrangement is to
secure unmounted photographs of the
couple and cut the background from
the heads. These are mounted on
pink or green cards so as to appear
as though growing from large scar
let heart. A photographer friend Of
the couple can secure pictures that
Will answer every purpose, and some
clever poses can be secured.
The clever hostess finds Plenty of
scope for her talents in various ways
for her st. Valentines party. If she
can compose jingles, she may write a
verse for each guest, to apply espe.
cially. A caution should be observed
in such event, however, that nothing
in the least calculated to hurt the
feelings be concealedsin the rhymes.
If she can not write verses she may
sketch appropriate designs on cards
and perhaps a friend can do the
rhymes. Every man draws number
and every girl wears a number; the
man must seek his. valentine By look
ing for the number corresponding to
his own.
The sketches and rhymes are to be
placed in envelopes and the girl re-
ceives the one with the mans name,
while he receives hers; each must
read the one given them aloud to the
assembled guests.

CHAPTER VI
OF THE MAKING OF LAWS.

The session. the shortest in the
history OF the state, and thus far the
least eventful, was nearing IFS close;
and the alarmists who had prophesied
evil and evil only OF the last political
victory were fast losing credit with
Lhe men Of their own camp ana with
the country at large.
Notwithstanding the lack of alarms,
however, the six weeks had been a
period Of unceasing vigilance on the
part OF interests which we're supposed
60 be in jeopardy. Every alien cor
poration owning property AMI doing
business in the state had fits full
quota Of watchful defenders on the
ground; men who came and went, in
the Hobbies of the capitol. in the yisi-
tors galleries, at the receptions; men
who said little. but who saw and heard

They passed out Of earshot, and
Kent folded his newspaper absently.
House Bill Twenty-nine had been
the one measure touching the sensi-
tive vested interests; the one meas

corporations lobby had felt called on
to take steps. IL was an omnibus bill
put forth as a substitute for the ex-
isting law defining the status OF for

in the governors ofiice-a fact which
Kent had ferreted out within "a hours
of its first reading-and for that rea-
son he had procured a printed copy,
searching it diligently for the hidden
menace he was sure it embodied.
When the search proved fruitless
he had seen the bill pass the house
by a safe majority, had followed It IN
the senate, and in eunningly worded
amendment tackled on in the upper
house had found what he was seeking
Under the existing law foreign corpor-
atoms were subject to state super

Twenty-Five fairly swept the inter

them to acquire the standing OF local

short, the state proposed, by the
terms of the new law, to deal only with
creatures Of it's own creation.
Kent saw, or thought he saw. the
fine hand Of the iunto in all this. II
was a still hunt in which the long
est way around was the shortest way
