POLICE OFFICERS
ARE MADE HAPPY
CHIEF KERN RECEIVES GIFT
FROM MOTHER
Detective Kelly "Sports" Real Irish
Suspenders and Impossible Neck
ties-Secretary Corners the
Match Market

Chief Ed Kern of the police depart
ment was one of the happiest men
around the station yesterday. Each
Christmas for twenty-five years he has
received a Christmas gift from his
mother in Iowa and this gift has never
varied. Six pairs of woolen socks,
knitted by herself, composes the pres
ent, and, although the chief finds little
use for them in the sunny climate of
California, yet he receives them with
pleasure such as no other gift brings.
They arrived at the station yesterday
with a pleasant little Christmas letter
wishing him the greetings of the sea-
son and years of happiness.
Detective bill" Kelly Is one who
did not lose this Christmas. Kelly is
irish and brags about it. He never
isle and anything green serves as an
excuse for him to begin boasting about
his native land.
Glories in Green
Several Of his friends, wishing to re-
member him, thought of his propensity,
and as a result Kelly received a pair
of beautiful silk suspenders with solid
gold buckles on which was inscribed
the single word Irish" Two neck
ties of a green hue, such as is seldom
seen, arrived by mail a little later, and
Kelly states he is positive that the one
who sent them is a son Of the 'ould
Sod" as no person of any other ma
tionality would have the nerve to Sc
lect them.
Lyle Pendegast, secretary to the
chief, was not forgotten by his friends,
and as a result matches are at a
premium in the downtown stores. One
Of Lyle's strong points is borrowing
matches. Instead of saying Hello
when he meets a friend Lyle says
Got a match?"
Knowing his failing in regard to
never having any in his office. several
of his friends Clipped in with the result
that 10000 matches today decorate the
secretarys desk.
On top of the boxes containing them
reposes a single cigar and short note,
which reads: with Christmas greet
ings these matches are sent, hoping
there is enough here TO keep the cigar
which accompanies them alight."

One Memorable Ball

Another item of expense in ball Civ
ing is the subject of decorations, and
there is scope for a most lavish dis
play in this direction. One may econo-
mize, or one may be extravagant in
this respect. On the occasion of the
ball which marked the debut of Miss
Cornelia Wolcott, one of the rooms
was transformed into an orange grove.
Genuine fruit hung from the trees, and
there were clusters of the odorous
flowers everywhere. All about there
was greenery, and the lights were be-
comingly yelled.
Miss Cornelia Andrews debutante
ball was the most elegant and elabo-
rate affair within the memory of the
writer, Miss Andrew, granddaughter of
the late governor of that name, and the
wealthiest bud of her season, is now
Mrs. j. Dudley Clark, with a couple
of sturdy little sons to her credit, but
her initial festivity is still recalled. on
that occasion there we're trees, SEEM
ingly of American beauty roses, ar
ranged about the ballroom, and the
fragrance was delicious beyond descrip-
tion.
other affairs which stand out promi-
nently in the history of the past few
years are Mrs. Winthrop Sargent's ball
for Miss Cornelia Wolcott, when guam
titles of rarest orchids from the Sar-
gent estate at Fishkill-on Hudson add
ed to the decorations of the Boston
florists; Elizabeth Andrews coming
out ball, given by her aunt, Miss Edith
Andrew; Mrs. Samuel ID. Warren's pre-
sentation ball for Miss Mabel Bayard
Warren (now Mrs. Joseph Gardner
Bradley); Mr.. and Mrs. Francis l.
Amory's ball for their only daughter,
Miss Mary Josephine Amory, the debu-
tante par excellence of last winter;
Mrs. Henry Parker Quincy's two balls
for her elder daughter, Mrs. Frederick
Russell Nourse (then the pretty Miss
Dorothy Quincy; Mrs. Henry S. Hun

lHC usual way
I got pair of slippers that are too
small for my feet,
And tco, a box of candy that the doc,
won't let me eat:
A package of cigars 1 got-they are
too rank to smoke
I also got lot of bills that indicate
I'm broke.
My wife annexed a useless bunch of
bric-a-brac and such,
The purposes of which to tell would
fairly beat the Dutch;
Some senseless gimcracks and a few
small bags and folderols
That maybe can be utilized by baby
for her dolls
Bill got wagon that he broke before
he took a ride;
And little Mabel got a doll that should
have squawked inside,
But didn't; Laura, too, acquired
bracelet and fan
That wouldn't open when she tried
of course, from some young man.
Big Fred was sent sachet-stunt that
his best girl had made
But he can never use the thing-to sail
it he's afraid!
The ties that came are too outre-a
woman picked them, too,
So Fred is very busy keeping them
from his chums view
Yes, that's the way it went all day
the things we didn't like
Came pouring in upon us fast as mes
sengers could hike,
The while the gifts we prayed for
and for which we still will pray
They never even reached us-say, aint
that the usual way?

Favor Dinner Dances

The dinner dance is a handsome and
approved festivity for the wealthy
debutante, and some notably elegant
ones have been given, both ir. Boston
and in New York. From fifty to one
hundred young people are hidden to
the dinner, which, exclusive of wine,
costs $4 or IS plate; then as many
more men and maids arrive for dane
ing, while midnight supper Usually a
buffet affair." rounds out the merry
occasion The dinner dance may be
managed at minimum Of $500, and at
such a maximum cost as may be de-
sired.
1t is the debutante lall, however,
which taxes the liberality and gener-
osity of the host and hostess, and the
cost of which fairly causes the un-
initiated to gasp with astonishment.
Twenty thousand dollars is not a high
estimate to put upon such an affair.
To begin with, there is the cost of
the suite of rooms in which the affair
is given. In Boston, Usually, it is the
Hotel Somerset which is considered best
suited to the purpose. Generally speak
ing, one supper is thought inadequate
and two are served, the initial just be-
fore midnight and the other at in the
morning.
The cost of the suppers varies with
game rare salads and the out-of-the-
season fruits are selected, SIS a plate is
conservative sum exclusive OF
wines), which may foot up tremendous
ly. In other years the topic of "cham-
payne" has called forth many an un-
happy reflection in the heart of the
hostess, for some of the youths, de-
string to be blase, albeit their years al
college are not completed, have re-
NAMED in the coatrooms by them
selves, smoking and drinking wine
while there were partnerless girls out
side.
Instances are not lacking when these
youths have not only carried away all
the wine which they were capable OF
consuming, but have purloined such
bottles as were obtainable, carrying
them away under their coats.
The second supper is usually less
elaborate affair than the first, an6
costs from Sc to SO a plate. AS not less
than 1000 invitations are generally is.
isued for a ball, the cost of the fooC
alone amounts to thousands, and the
wine to many thousands more. Cigars
and cigarettes for the men add a few
hundred dollars to the total.

THE PRIMARY AND ITS EFFECT.

The recent primary was the first
test of the new election law of the
state. No one questions the in.
tentions of the originator of the
law, In bis great learning he lost
sight of very essential feature in
every law. that is simplicity. All
laws should be SO plain that a
way faring man, though fool, can
understand and explain it; this is
not the case with the Terrell cleo
ton law; everyone seems to think
it incomprehensible, ambiguous
and unacceptable of construction,
which may defegt the will of the
people. In plain and unmistaka.
BILE English what the people wanted
was a law which gives them the
unmistakable right to say who
shall be their officer. When q
majority of the people say A is
their choice for governor, it should
be A, and no one else. In the past
primary many were Disguised and
refused to vote because they appre
hended or feared their vote would
amount to nothing, because at the
convention combinations and other
political jobs and schemes would
be worked by which the man get.

Fair warning is now given the
professional politicians that mine

practice, chicanery or political

can fool some of the people some
of the time, but you cannot fool

spoke one of the greatest Ameri.

The J1MPLEcUTE favors the peo-
pie asserting their rights if any in
fringment is practiced at the con-
vention. Under the old law the
people wagged every time Simon
said SO. Now it's up to the people
to say who shall say "wag," II
they still permit Simon to "boss,"
then they fail to comprehend their
rights and assert them. A slave is

please, if his rights are usurped by

The press of the state can in no
better way assist the people than
urge them to stand up for their po-
litical rights, and have them if
they have to bolt the nominee of
the convention, if he is not the
choice as shown by the popular
vote. Let the brasecollor go to

one party be allowed to nominate
by convention and another by pri
maries? Is this not discriminating
and wrong? The present law,
while trying to reach the people
apparently. yet it is playing into
the hands of the politicians, 1t in
no way prevents combinations after
the first ballot in the convention.
1t should have directed after the
dropping of the lowest man, all his
votes should go to the highest and
so on; there is no authority for any
such law. The only and true way
is to elect by direct vote of the
people-doing away conventions;
then the people will vote, because

"Two months ago when sought

Systemic catarrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always I'M

treated.
WHAT'S needed is an internal catarrh
