FEUDS IN FAMILIES
SOURCES OF EMBARRASSMENT
TO GUESTS.
Temptation to sympathixe with Ap
parent Victim 10 Something to
Avoid-Where Diplomacy
10 Called For.

Few things are more embarrassing
than to find ones self guest In dis.
united household.
One must be gifted with wonderful
tact and prudence to be able to avoid
taking sides and making remarks
which embroil one with all parties, for
no matter how much they fight among
themselves they are certain to make a
common cause against an outsider.
After one has been cut few times
they learn not to put their fingers in
between the blades of the scissors.
Yet, how persistent is the tempta-
ton to sympathize with an apparent
victim and mingle our own indigna-
ton with the outbursts of which we
are made the confidant.
1t may be the wife who is at odds
by the conduct of a son-in-law, or the
younger sister in jealous rage
against her seniors.
Almost surely it is one of the WON.
en- of the family who pours out an &C.
count of her sufferings in the guests
ears.
Men are not above making break
fast table scene by casual utterance
Of slurring observation upon women
in general, which particular women
are bound to take up and respond to
with all the enthusiasm of self-de.
tense. But these gcaustic remarks are
usually thrown off carelessly and with
out the betrayal of wounded feelings,
which characterizes irony of women.
It is scarcely possible to be an in
mate of woman's family where she
is at variance with her husband, and
remain strictly neutral and impressive
without convincing her that you are
heartless and absolutely unsympa-
thetic.
One finds it safest to express adj
miration and wonder at the patience
and long suffering of the woman who
thus Graves your sympathy, mingled
with dextrous little compliments for
good qualities in the offending man
whom she would be ready to tear your
eyes out for abusing $3.50 -....
After all, diplomacy Is the course
most nearly approaching Justice, for
in family feuds there is invariably
something to be said in favor Of all
parties.

A NOVEL FAN BAG.

Useful Article.

The number OF lost and strayed fans
which are generally found in the ball
room after a dance tells its own tale
and surely points a moral for those
who are anxious not to buy new fan
after every party. Some such little
fan bag as the one which we illustrate
might save many fan from an un
timely end. 1t would be useful, too
for taking to the theater, or when
travelling by train, in evening dress
from the suburbs.

To the Honorable Mayor and Com

Gentlemen
We. the undersigned members of

Clerk Of the City of Grand Rapids to
whom was referred the matter Of
checking over the report of City
Treasurer Stahl for the year ending
Nav 1st, 1907 beg leave to report as
ows,-That we have checked over
the several items in the report and
have compared the orders paid with
the stubs and have cancelled the
orders.
We find that the sum paid out by
the Treasurer together with the sum
on hand in the Bank on May lst, 1907
amounts to 1882 more than the
amount received by the Treasurer to-
gether with the amount Of cash in
the Bank on May 1st. 1906, making a
credit to the Treasurer of the amount
of 1892.
However, we find by TreaSurer's re-
port that he takes credit with Sl50,54
for uncOllected Personal Property tax
while an examination Of the Tax roll
shows uncollected Personal Property
Tax 30 the amount of Sl46.13. Thus
making a debit to the Treasurer of
the sum of SAL. Deducting from this
debit of 81 Al the Credit of s. 62 as
shown above leaves a debit for the
sum of 10 which amount the Treas
urer should deposit TO the credit of
the City to balance the account.
