o'clock the other evening. The ami

Two bus drivers who were waiting

HE search for novelties in social
diversions still goes on. A rather
pretty idea was sprung the other
night at. a cotillion given on Park av-

flower parasols lighted with small

Miss Brown was drawn into the room
in a jinrickisha, by boy, from which
she distributed pink roses.
Another pretty social venture was
made at the Hotel Plaza the other
night when grand ball de fete was
given for the benefit of the helpless
blind.
Before the ball, a number of social
leaders gave elaborate dinner parties
at their homes at which guests ap'
peared with their heads dressed in the
vogue of some special period, or in
some special fashion of the past. One
of these ladies, who is known for her
love of her country, chose that the
girls who appeared under her chap
eronage, have their hair dressed to
represent American beauty roses. AT
another table were seen an array OF
heads a la Mary Stuart, while the men

At the Savoy an opportunity was
given socialists to combat the argu.

Church Advertisinu,

We do not believe that the average
church can gain much from news
paper advertising. In a large city it
serves one purpose only; it tells
strangers where a preacher known to
them perhaps by reputation may be
heard. The advertising of sermon
topics is of little value, unless the an
nouncement is coupled with the name
OF preacher of wide and command
ing reputation. Our advice would be
to withhold newspaper advertising un
til there is something definite and spe
cial to advertise. When that time
comes, be it an anniversary or what
ever, expend upon one days advertis
Ing what you saved by refraining from
constant announcements In this way
says w. T. Demarest, in the Homiletic
Review, attention will be attracted
and you will probably see results. The
best advertising Of regular church serv
ices can be done locally in the church's
vicinity, by placard, circular letters
and personal work.

The First Year Of MARRIAGE,

I0O 3STI vear OF MARRIAGE
One Of the problems that develop out
Of that trying first year Of married OK.
1stence is the equal adjustment of the
amusement question. To the average
man, worn out with the work and
worry Of the day, tired of the babel Of
voices and confusion in which he has
toiled. and weary of trying to make
himself agreeable to those he must
please, for business purposes, there
seems nothing else on earth so desira-
bic as the quiet and ease of his home.
He doesn't want to talk or be talked
to. He doesn't want to have to force
himself to smile or to think, and least
OF all does he want to forsake his slip
pers. The woman, on the other hand,
says the New York Weekly, has been
shut up all day in the house, going
through the deadly dull round of do
mestic duties without the distraction
OF seeing fresh face. She has toiled
in her own way as hard as her hus-
band, and when night comes, she, too,
feels the need of change, and the op-
portun'ty to rest and refresh herself.
She would like to put on her best dress
and go to the theater, or even call on
some friendly neighbor. To even sug.
gest such thing to her husband, how
ever, Is to bring on a glowing diatribe
on woman's gadding, and the matter
ends there, or bursts forth into a
wordy quarrel.

Mr.. Roosevelt has also had three Sec

Admiral Cervera, who commanded
the Spaish fleet at the battle of Santi-
ago, was retired lately from active SER
vice at his own request. Americans
will always have warm spot in their
hearts for the gallant and chivalrous
old Spanish sailor. Our own heroes of
the Spanish war hardly commanded
more popular respect and affection
than Cervera, whose life as a prisoner
on. the United States was a series of
popular triumphs. His humanity and
quickness of action in saving the lives
OF Hobson and his companions was
never forgotten by the American peo-
pie, of which fact he received the most

trick monkeys, escaped from their
