supervision of Messrs. Robert Hick-

Mr.. Edward J. Harland, an English
man, was manager for MesSrs. Hick-

a small yard adjoining, belonging to
the Belfast Shipbuilding company,
where wooden vessels only were built.

methods of transacting the public
business of the government in the sew
eral executive departments and other
governmental establishments. 1t Is
expected that many of the recommen
dations for reforms which will be
made by these business physicians
can be carried out promptly with no
other authority than the order of the
president, but where congressional &C.

that 1t will be forthcoming.
The president has placed this entire
overhauling of the governmental bust

capable new secretary, Mr.. Charles
D. Norton, who had quite an interval
of experience as assistant secretary Of
the treasury before coming to his pres

the supposition that Mr.. Norton's pri-

Mr.. and Mrs. w. ID. Lurry enter
tanned Tuesday evening at a beau
tifully appointed dinner OF ten
covers in honor of their distin-
guished guest, Hon. Jared Y. San

The reception rooms were bright
and beautiful with pink and white
cut flowers, palms and ferns.
Plants, ferns and palms filled the
hooks and recesses, from which
glowed pink and white lights, sup
ported in crystal candelabra. The
dining room decoration embodied
the same color scheme. The CEN
ter of the table was filled with
pink and white carnations In a SUI
perb cut glass flower urn, surround
ed by pink shaded lights held In
chrystal candle sticks, shedding a
rich glow over the silver and cut
glass appointment. From the cell
ing beautiful festoons of pink and
white tulle extended to the four
corners of the table, where they
were gracefully held with large
satin ribbon bows of the same deli
cate shade.
The color note was also artfully
introduced in the CONNECTIONS and
ices. The place favors were pink
and white carnations, and the name
cards were decorated with hand
painted magnolias and the State
coat of arms.
