Few things make a guest more I'M
comfortable than to see her hostess
fretting and Tuning and flying anx-
iously from one thing to another, Civ
ing. forth the impression that she is
putting herself to a great deal ~ofsextra
trouble for the one or more persons
she is entertaining.
The successful entertainer is the one
who puts her visitors al their <eass,
and who never gives them a hint of the
little extra duties and "~fussings" she
performs for their comfort.

gives me a book and tells me to amuse
myself until she comes in.

The nest Kind of a hostess.

Many women are like that; perfectly
charming when out In company, but as
stiff as the proverbial board in their
own houses.
The fact that they are hostesses, and
that the comfort or discomfort Of their
guests Is In their hands seems to take
away every bit Of their personality,
leaving them -self-conscious and almost
tongue-tied.
Goodness knows they try hard enough
to be at ease, but what a mockery
their efforts are.
The woman who would be a success
full hostess should earn to forget her
self, to take things easily, n to dis
count trifes. She should not apologize
for. the little details which do not seem
quite right to her, for in doing so she
often draws her guests attention to
them, where If she had kept still they
would have passed unnoticed.

No Gambling in Fair Week-An Un.
Preceeented Record Made This
Year.

For the first time in years, or
perhaps in the history Of the
Illinois state fair their was no
gam bling conducted in this city
state fair week. But few arrests
were made at the local police
station and the large crowds have
at a times been most orderly.
The total absence of public
gambling is a decided contrast
from last year during state fair
week when clash between
officials in the gambling houses
or In front of them at various in
tervaIs. when raids were at
tempted by the states attorneys
office. Tne state attorneys
office has kept vigllant watch
all during fair week and special
men have been stationed through
the business district al all hours
of the day and night.
Only seven thefts resulting
from the cor gestion of people
have been reported to the local
authorities and in most cases
these have been pickpockets.

to carry on any gambling games

Among the various follies by
which we increase the natural
and unavoidable miseries of life
is the dread of approaching age.
We continue to declare that old
age is honorable, at the same
time we maintain serious fear of
growing old. The sight of a gray
hair has often caused severer
pang than The loss of child or a
husband. After d certain age
every returning birthday is sal
uted with silent sorrow, and we
conceal the number of our years
with as much soIcitude as the
conscientiousness of an atrocious

The Giants defeated Cincinnati in a long. hard
fought twelve-inning game at the Polo Grounds
yesterday. before a crowd numbering eight thou
sand persons, by score of to o. 1t was the
opening game of series between the two mines,
and the struggle will be remembered for long
time by those who saw it.
Iron Man" McGinnity was in the box for the
Giants, while Mason, q new recruit. acted in
the same capacity for Cincinnati 1t a
pitchers battle pure and simple, with honors
belonging to the Iron Man" He held the
visitors down 10 five scattered hits. gave only
one base balls and struck out eight men.
Seven hits were made off Masons delivery. and
he gave five bases on balls
The teams fought for eleven innings without
the sign of run, but in the twelfth the Giants
pulled out a victory and won their twelfth
straight game. Bcwernan made a single took
second on McGann's sacrifice. reached third on
Dalhens vicious drive. which doubled Mason
up the ground for several minutes, and
scored on safe hunt by Corcoran.
The game was marked by brilliant fielding on
both sides. In the first inning Seymour pulled
down Kane's long drive. that looked good for a
home rum with a pretty running catch In the
second inning after Colbert had singled Cor
coran. Dalhen and McGann figured in a fast
double play which perhaps saved run. Dam
lens fine catch OF Mitchells drive, a running
catch by Huggins of Strangs low drive and
OdwelIs great running catch of McGann's Ions
fly were other features.
The Giants had fair chance to score in the
second inning with Bowerman third, McGann
on second and only one out Corcoran and Nc

AMERICAN LEAGUE STANDING.
[By Telegraph to The Trlbune.l

Cleveland, May 13.-The New York American
League team broke its losing streak to-day and
managed to win the final game of a series with
Cleveland by a score of to l.
The game characterized by hard hitting
on the part of the visitors, with Willie Keeler
in the leading role. He made five safe hits.
Moore, who was in the box for Cleveland, was
rather free with bases on balls, and this aided
the Yankees in scoring. Clark Griffith the man.
ager Of the New York team, was determined 10
win. and before the game had his entire staff
of pitchers warming UP. 1t was thought that he
would put Chesbro in the box, but at the last
moment decided to depend on Orth- The latter
showed excellent form and held the home team
safe throughout. Errors by Elberfeld and La
porte III the sixth inning alone prevented
shUt-OUt.
The game was lacking in fielding features.
Elberfeld had an off day. and three errors We're
charged against him. The Yankees gained an
early lead. making one run in the second inning
on two-baggers by Williams and Kleinow and
two more In the third, when ConrOy's single
sent Keeler and Elberfeld racing home In the
sixth and seventh innings the visitors again
took kindly to Moores delivery and pounded out
two runs in each The score follows:
