The ideal Dinner.

Success in dinner giving is some thing like success in flowers. The guests must be grouped as artistically with regard to congeniality as the flowers are with reference to color and form, and both must have the right sort of environment. The room must be cool, but not too cool, and the viands must be well chosen. well cooked and well served. The lights must neither be too dim nor too bright. and the flowers should have but little odor, for, however delicious. the fra grance of flowers grows heavy as the evening wears on. With all this and congeniality, dinner cannot fail, and 1n those few hours one can get better acquainted with those on either side than would be possible in weeks under less favorable circumstances.

An event Of unusual historic interest
recently took place IN New York har-
bor 1t was the decorating OF the two
nasted schooner Polly with a memo
rial tablet telling of herralorcus deeds

built In 1905 and is therefore l05 years
old She is siXty-one feet long, OF old
fashioned model and is still engaged
In trade The little schooner retains
her original planking of three inch oak,
and her eight inch ribs are as sound
as when placed In her over d century
ago. Under command Of Captain Jud-
than Upham the Polly sailed from
Salem On Dee. Z, 1912, on the lookout
for British merchantmen. Two days
later she captured an Engish fun rig

Once She fell Il victim to superior force
and was taken prisoner by the British
frigate Phoebe a few ays later she
was recaptured by a United States

Orioin Of MYTHOLOGY.

Myths are the result OF the natural
and unconquerable desire on mans
part to know the reason why Of
things. In the early stages of human
society this instinct was as strong rs
it is today, and when III that faiaway
time man had his attention called
to any phenomenon which had 10 him
no obvious reason or explanation he
invented and told a story to account
for It. In such way all mythology had
