1.-Two feaenereo Beauties IN Little FOR.
est Table Decoration.
Having acquired the dinner giving
habit in Newport, Miss Violet Cruger
plans further triumphs In that line and
already has under way humming bird
dinner which is expected to throw all
the monkey dinners, chimpanzee lunch
cons and other freak affairs far in the
shade, says correspondent of the New
York Press, for Miss Cruger's idea is
aesthetic. When she gives the coming
dinner, in the center of the table will
stand great mound shaped glass COW
er, with miniature tropical forest I'M
der it. Blossoms that grow outdoors
only in the tropics will be mingled with
rare ferns, and through the little forest
q tiny brook is to run. Several dozen
humming birds are to be loosed under
the glass cover, and It is promised that,
deluded by the flowers reminiscent Of
their own cline, they will make them
selves at home, to the entertainment
of the guests and the pride Of Miss vio-
let Cruger.
The society girl has sent to the south
for as many different kinds of hum
ming birds as can be captured and also
has drawn on Cuba for supply. OF
course the wee birds will not live long
In this chilly north, but it is believed
they will survive until Miss Cruger's
dinner shall have passed into history.
Beside each plate will lie small Jew
eled humming bird with the guests In
itials inset in diamonds brooches for
the women, scarfpins for the men.

The Prodiaal's Father,

From i',tt:.am'S and The Reader.
In the parable Of the Prodigal Son, It
is NOT the poor wretch himself whose
miserable motive for returning is plainly
iDdicated-that instead of pining in cold
and hunger he may be warmed and cloth
ed-who is the hero of the story; still
less is 1t the hard and virtuous elder
son. The hero of the tale is the patient,
tolerant, loving father, who had acted,
as a censorious critic might say, foolishly
and culpably. in supplying the dissolute
boy with resources, and taking him back
without a word of just reproach. A sad
lack of moral discipline, no doubt! II
he had kept the boy in fear and godli-
ness, IL he had tied him down to honest
work. the disaster need never have hap
pened. Vet the old man, who went so
often at shutdown. we may think, to the
crest of the hill, from which he could
see the long road winding over the plain
to the far-off city. the road by which
he had seen his son depart. light-heartedly
and full OF fierce. joyful impulses, and
along which he was to see the detected
figure, so familiar, so sadly marred, Stun
bling home-he is the master-spirit Of
the sweet and comforting scene. His heart
is full of utter gladness,. for the lost Is
found. He smiles upon the servants; he
bids the household rejoice; he can hardly,
i'll his simple joy OF heart, believe that
the froward elder brother is vexed and
d.spleased: and his words of entreaty that
the brother too. will enter into the spirit
thetic and beautiful ever framed in human
speech: Son, thou art ever with me.
and all that l have Is thine; 1t was meet
that we should make merry and be glad:
for his thy brother was dead and is
alive again, and was lost, and is found.''

body who is anybody has gone away.
The workers are all here, to be sure"
Who is anybody" persisted the Man

II hardly know how to explain it. 1t
means anybody who amounts to any
thing"
Don't the workers amount to any

body, and anybody who is compelled
to stay at home is nobody"
Every clever, very clever" agreed
