THE FORMAL DINNER

A gentleman who lines up with the
truthful cynics. and there are some
OF this description, writing In the
Grand Magazine, offers the following
observations on the formal dinner:
You have, all the time during which
the soup Is on the table. To rack y,u
brains for something TO say to your
neighbor.
II. by the middle of the fish, you have
found nothing To say, you must reconcile
yourseli to the knowledge that You have
already been written down IA dull block
head.
The last novel or the last play + your
safety buoy, unless, a. sometimes hap
pens, you have the misfortune TO be next
10 lady who has mo time 70 read
or never goes to the theatre"
Pray heaven in such case that there
has recently been a nice little catastro-
phe OF sorts which win allow you TO re-
mark that 1T is terrible IN order that
your nelghbor may retOrt, "les, truly
awful"
However noisy the general conversa-
tion may be, II Is sure to come TO "A dead
stop at the precise moment when you Dc.
eide TO take advantages OF The babel
oil tongues TO say something very con
hdential TO your neighbour
In all their draw backs, certain dinners
might be delightful were not the con
seriousness ever with you OF the big
stain you made right IN the middle of
your shirt front during the first coursei
When you go out to dinner you ought
to be able TO leave your stomach at
home
And our friend, the cynic, might
have added the discomfort Of won
dering, with uneasy forebodings, as
to whether the salad will be covered
with olive oil, politely called may
onaise, or not; OF specializing on
how to separate an old drumstick
without the embarrassment of hay
ing to pull! it apart; of bordering on
the length OF time you've got to con
sumo In echoing platitudes to some
one equally Us bored as you are; OF
shrinking how much you really could
enjoy yourself if there wasn't SO
blame much nonsense in the world.

ARE WE ALL ONEq

The Richmond News-Leader "A few
days since published the following
editorial:
Tom Watson, Of Georgia, Is grayely
presented by the Atlanta Constitution
and other near Democratic newspapers
OF that State as suitable nominee for
Vice President with Mr.. Bryan at tn
head OF the ticket. The Augusta Herald
editorially Informs Us that the sugges-
tiOn Is much discussed and that Georgia
opinion unanimously favOrs II. II Is
seriously proposed To instruct the Georgia
delegation to Denver to present Sir
Wstson's name. The Herald argues
that although Mr.. Watson chooses To
call himself populist and Is likely TO br
the populist nominee for President. that
trivial TACT need not interfere at all with
his nomination for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket Georgia pOpulists ths
Herald tells US, always have been Demo
Gratis. They left the Democratic party
because It was not then Democratic
enough" Populists. the Herald con-
tinues, really are Jeffersonian Democrats
and now are back In the Democratic
party, although they continue to call
themselves populists. As we'll as we can
fsthom this argument, the gist % 10 T.
that the Democratic party really has be
come populist- Jonah has swallowed
the whale.
Georgia Is the home OF curious political
ideas. One eminent statesman OF that
Commonwealth urged that Mr.. Bryan
should nominate Roosevelt for a third
term and unanimous NJ election. and
then went OF TO edit Hearst newspaper:
and now we have the information thar
Tom Watson is as good Democrat a.
Bryan, that the Democrats have come T.
the populist platform and principles and
therefore should nominate a populist for
Nice-President
The above expressions were pub
hshed, however, before the Georgia
State Convention was held. Now
that the convention is a thing OF the
past the News-Leader should give
the Georgia Democracy credit not
only for Overwhelmingly rejecting
Tom Watson as vice-presidential
candidate, bus in doing what the
Virginia leaders didn't have the
nerve TO do, viz, refusing TO instruct
FOR Mr.. Bryan. Is strikes Us that
Georgia contains some mighty good
Democrats and that they have
shown themselves by their action to
be mighty wise ones, which is more
than we can say for a majority OF
those In Virginia and other Southern
States. Georgia Democrats Will
keep the faith, never fear.
