MRS. ALLEN DURHAM
 HOSTESS AT HEARTS.

Mrs. J. Allen Durham's card party yes- terday afternoon was a graceful compli- ment to three of the younger visiting girls, Miss Ruth Smith and Miss Zelda King of Memphis and Miss Bessie Coop CT of Nashville. There were eight tables of players and the game was hearts. It was a pink party, sweet peas in the pink tints combining prettily with handsome potted plants to give an air of festivity and beauty to the rooms thrown open to the guests.
 Mrs. Durham was assisted in receiving by her sister, Miss Ruth Smith, and Mrs. B. A. Pepperman. The hostess was ex- tremely pretty in white afternoon gown made. over lavender "a her sisters frock was an elaborate lingerie over pink. Mrs. Pepperman was also attractively gowned.
 There were two prizes, the first a pair of pink silk hose, elaborately embroidered,

''Ye merry month of June" is the oc- casion for brides and roses to share hon ors with the sweet girl graduate, and the combination is an admirable one, for fre- quently the very frock that has served for the little. maid to receive her sheepskin in, is used to make her the wife of the man of her choice. And roses are equal ly well adapted for commencement bou- quets as well as wedding bouquets.
 After the selection of husband and her trousseau the next important thing with nearly every girl is the wedding feast. Here again the rose, queen of all flowers, comes into play. One imagines that to beautify a table with the stately blos- soms is very simple matter, but there are difficulties. Since the year one of grace, roses have been associated with June brides and used by them, and so to find something distinctly unique and novel is rather a perplexing question.
 Many inquiries have come to this de- partment for suggestions as to how to decorate and arrange wedding suppers breakfasts and various feasts and in re- sponse we would say that one of the pret- tiest ideas for such an occasion was followed by a bride last June, which isn't old enough to have become stereotyped by this time.
 ONE CHARMING IDEA.
 This pretty idea was carried out by arranging four long garlands, using spool wire and fastening together long stemmed blossoms and quantity of foliage. Fes- toon these garands from the chandelier to the four corners of the table. Where the garlands reach the center of the table fasten them with a single huge, long stemmed rose.
 For a center piece have flat bouquet of enormous perfect roses and maiden hair fern, in a shallow bowl. Cut glass candelabra with white candles and white satin bows and crystal shades complete the pretty bridal table.
 This idea may be slightly changed by festooning the table in smilax and in- terspersing it with small pink roses. The chandelier may be completely hidden from the sight by masses of the roses and smi- lax. Rose colored bows of satin ribbon

Menace to Health.

People would come and ought to come,
in his opinion, to this great national event
and provision ought 10 be made for their
health and comfort when they came Re-
ports OF illness and death came from all
over the country in greater numbers than
ever before after March last. No promi-
nent public man died. But he recalled
that one President and a number of other
prominent public men had died in the
past as result Of exposure on the 4th
of March.
1t was a matter of the gravest import
ance. not a mere question of holiday
making as had been intimated. History
would be changed by the death of q
President elect. but apart from this the
interests of the hundreds of thousands Of
citizens attending the Inauguration ought
TO be regarded.
The question Of the time Of meeting OF
Congress ought not to complicate the in
auguration question, and could be omitted
fronf the resolution without loss. The
resolution was drawn in the present form
u.s aGst IL had twice passed the Senate
in that shape.
A day of the week was chosen rather
than a day of the month preferably to
avoid Sunday. and therefore the last
Thursday In April. upon which George
suggested. instead OF the 30th Of April.
which had happened to be the day OF the
month OF that year. The Inauguration Of
governors Of states and territories Is gen.
orally fixed for day Of the week.
Mr.. mcfarland presented the letters
of the governors and also the weather
report for March and April for a number
of years, and a summary OF health sta
tistics showing more deaths from lung
diseases in the neishborhood OF March I
than the latter part of April. He also
exhibited the photographs of the snow

mcfarland stated. was required, because
the terms of office of the President and
Vice President are fixed by the Con-
stitution. and can not be extended or d.
minished without change of the Con-
stitution. The reasons for the change,
he said. are sharply emphasized by the
BLIZZARD of last Inauguration day. which
almost cut off the National Capital from
the outside world and endangered the
lives of the outgoing and incoming Presi.
dents and all others present.
He expressed the belief that IL Con-
gress could have acted upon the matter
at the extra session IT would have adopt
ed the resolution changing the day. He
said that the change of Presidents ought
not to be made on a day when the Ma
tional Capital is likely to be isolated.
with possibly serious consequences. and
that the lives of public men and the rep.
resentatives of foreign governments and
the citizens generally ought not to be
imperiled.
