IDEAS FOR THE HosTEss.
New and Novel Entertainment Is the
 Fad Party"
A Fad Party,

A Fad Party.
 What won't Molly think of next?" was the exclamation, when little gray envelope futtered onto my desk. Come to my party on Wednesday night, and wear your pet hobby. also state in your acceptance what is your favorite dish" Mollys hobby might have been recognized in the gray sta tionery with the red lettering which she used year in and year out. We'll, this is what I found that night in the great living room where we all loved to assemble. Just the funniest con Xlomeration, the "eccentricities of genius personified" was how clever girl expressed it.
 There was the postage stamp fiend wearing motley collection pasted on various parts of his clothing, even his face. hands and hair bore 8 stick CT from some place. The girl who was making silk quilts out of her party gowns and those of her friends was arrayed in a costume by side of which Joseph's historical coat of many colors would have looked a sad and somber garment. Bugs, but terfles, toads and lizards played in most lifelike attitudes over the cloth ing of the naturalist of the crowd, and the girl who went in for physical culture wore necklace of miniature Indian clubs and dumb bells. Of course the camera crank went around trying to take" everybody, and the autograph collector was on hand with book and pencil. One girl wore a dolls cup and saucer on a long chain, and there were numerous spoons worn as hair ornaments, showing the fad of the wearers.
 One of the drollest figures was the man devoted to making handmade furniture. he had set of dolls chairs, table and bed which he had in a basket and insisted upon show ing every one how perfectly they were constructed. Altogether, it was a most amusing party.
 When refreshments were served 1t was seen how the hostess had en- deavored to cater to the likes of her guests.

SCHOOL FOR GAMBLERS.

1t really is a great pity that some
arrangement cannot be made to have
the crooked gambling devices taken
from the Gladstone hotel on Thursday
kept permanently on exhibition In Salt
Lake for the benefit Of the ingenious
youth and older men who believe that
an outsider really has some small frac-
ton Of a chance to beat a gambler at
his own game
Faro and roulette are easily the two
most popular Of all gambling games.
The former appeals more to the pro-
fesstonal. and, because of its less over
poWering advantage against the player.
II is also more popular with the wise"
man who has acquired a few element
airy facts regarding systems, but is still
weak enough to believe that a mystic
riOus good fortune which he doesn't ex-
pect TO act for him in any other phase
of life will bring him wealth from the
owner of the bank despite all the lat
teT's known advantages and percent
age of chance in his favor. Roulette is
not so complicated as faro. It has more
devotees. and they all are losers. for
the percentage in favor of the bank is
greater even than in the case of faro.
Some gambIing-hOUse proprietors are
not satisfied with the advantage that
a longer purse and the percentage of
the game in their favor give them over
the CallOw youth or the half-drunken
and wholly foolish man who plays at
their tables. For such proprletors as
these appliances ike those at police
headquarters are manufactured. They
eliminate entirely the law of chance
Unless the dealer so decide, the player
may never win a single bet. Ultimate

hazards. The crooked layoUts at the
police station are for faro and roulette
The mechanism for the faro table was
described in yesterdays Herald Its
use enables the dealer to change tho

are made on the table The roulette ia

forces the whirling ivory ball TO drop
almost instantly when desired
Experienced detectives assert that
nearly all gambling tables are fixed for
crooked work. That all proprietors do
not avail themselves Of the opportunity
for fraud is due to the moral view of
the man. Some are satisfied with the
certainty Of profit that any game of
chance affords the house Others. too
Cowardly to be burglars or hoId-ups
and greedy for all in sight, rob with
crooked games
The law makes gambling q felony;
using dishonest appliances ADDS moth
ing to the legal guilt of the gambler
and this is unfortunate, for SO long as
men are constituted as they are they

But the pity of it is that every young
man in Sale Lake cannot see theStables
at headquarters No person who has
seen them and how easily they can be
operated is likely to wager much money
in a gambling-house, be its reputation
good or bad.

rxTRAvAeANT DIPLOMATS.

Congressman Sherley Of Kentucky
took occasion the other day during a
house discussion of the diplomatic and
consular bill to denounce the "wastefuI
extravaganza, the outrageous and I'M
American method of living, of some of
our representatives abroad" Mr.. Sher-
lev mentioned our ambassador 20 the
court Of st. James, Mr.. Reid, who pays
$40. 600 a year as rent for his residence.
The KentUckian cohlended that Reid
was not representing, but misTepre-
senting, the country that honors him. 81
Further along in his remarks Mr..
SherIey spoke Of the dignity that should
be maintained by Americans who are
accredited to foreign countries. He said
they needed a proper place in which 70
dwell. "a decent living, an opportunity
to entertain properly the representatives
of other governments and American cit
liens who may be abroad, but that dig
nifty is violated the moment you step
across the line and get into display and
ostentation. I would like to see some
man who vulgarIy, snobbishly is flaunr-
ing his money in the face Of the world
called home because of that fact, and
because it is undemOcratic and not IN
keeping with the spirit of our pepole,'
There is a lot Of sound sense in all
this The Herald has frequently spoken
Of the abuses in our diplomatic service
and of the recognized fact that none
but the very rich need apply for i'm
pOrtant embassies. It is quite true that
a man may be very able and very rich
at the same time, but it is also true
/ that many able men are kept out OF
/ the service because they are not rich
/ Our ambassadors are not paid any
/ thing like the salaries paid to repre-
/ sentatives Of important foreign nations
+ in this country, and they do not have
/ the allowances for entertainment and
/ other necessary expenses.
/ They should be paid more money. and
1 they should have proper houses in
/ which to live. These houses should be
paid for by the government which
would put all of our representatives or
/ the same footing, and there would be DC
/ necessity for any man to hesitate
about entering the service because ot
/ the question Of means.

ANGRY AT THEIR CAR.

Great uneasiness is being manifested
among Republican congressman about
the effect Of Speaker Cannon's legisIa-
tive tactics upon the fail elections. The
opinion is quite generally held at Wash
ington that the speaker has only to
persist in the course upon which he has
embarked in order to make certain the
election Of a Democratic house. Con-
gressmen in close. doubtful districts are
particularly worried. and for this rea-
son many of them are openly in insUr-
rection against Cannon's policy.
A few days ago the New York Times
contained an account Of the way in
which the speaker has conducted Iegis-
Iation all by himself throughout the
session, passing bills or killing them n
opposition. not merely to the Democrats,
Lut 10 his own party. No speaker in
history has ever exercised power in the
despotic way I'm which Mr.. Cannon exer-
cjses it. Prior to Reeds time no speak
er mad the power, but neither Reed nor
Henderson ever made such use Of their
office as Cannon mas.
Bat this is not what worries the IN
surGent congressman. They relied upon
legislation in this session TO help them
but say that the bills which the SPEAK
er In defiance of the house and his par
