 Yes-meant-once," said The Pink Lady, for even dignifed German par ents can accustom themselves to the | footlights and Musical Comedy if there is any chance of success at the other end of the line. Of course, when I first suggested deserting the concert stage to enter Musical Comedy they were up in arms The way 1t happened was this: Mir. Erlanger was looking for someone to succeed Miss Hazel Dawn, who created the role of The Pink Lady, and--'

 "Yes,' I played and sang for Mr. Err langer and it was at once enjoyed.

 And the parents in the mean time," I asked.
 "Oh they love to read the nice things the critics say about me-" she said, and they like to see my picture in the papers and they have come to realize now, that a girls environments on the stage, if she has any character whatever, are not a draw back and that a puritanical con- sicence can exist there, as well as any where else"
 How does color and all that sort of thing effect you?" I asked as we discussed our favorite shades and tones of The Pink Ladys particular color.
 Pink is really my color,' said she dinpling and blushing Funny, isn't 1t, that it should have fallen to my lot to be so viVidly surrounded by 1t, as l am in The Pink Lady.

When a woman knows she is dressed becomingly, then the game is won.'

In one group near the ball room door at the left sat Mrs. C.. B. Alexander and Mrs. Elisha Dyer. Mrs. Edwin Could, who came too late for seat, stood up smiingly throughout long address; Miss Sarah Cooper Hewitt with difficulty found her way through the crowd; Mrs. James B. Haggin was obliged to take a seat in the very last row; Mrs. F. M. Breitung stood for long time and Mrs. Reginald De Koven seemed content with seat on the stairway.
 Prof Henry Fairfield Osborne intro duced each speaker with facetious com pliments. First there was Mrs. James Speyer the president. She read the an nual report in voice of good carrying power and was fortunate in being able u interlard her statements in regard to the fiscal year with droll anecdotes in regard to dogs, horses, canary birls, ltal- ian urchns and cats, all of which, with the exception of the Irchsins, are under the especial care of the league. Perhaps she was able to read this annual report in a more buoyant mood because she was interrupted by the Hon. Clark Williams, .-ho arose from among the group seated behind her to read letter in which an unknown donor enclosed check for $25,- GOO for the erection of a hospital for horses. MT. Otis Skinner, who was one of the speakers, arose lanSuidly with his head almost hanging in what seemed a weary response to appeal for his interest But his humor was accentuated by thls very indifference.

Only a horse-not a brute-but a

The brute is the one that applies the

he endures the toll and the pain;

Clipping the Horse.

Much difference Of opinion exists as
to clipping the horse. Leaving out
of the account our own experience,
and giving only the judgment of men
who have had charge of large num-
bers Of horses and been close observ-
ers of them during winters both when
clipped and unclipped, few things
may be said that are beyond controver-
sy:
1. III you are going to clip your
horse do it during November, not
later. Horses deprived Of their coat
before it has stopped growing will put
out sufficient hair to afford quite a
little protection. If clipped after the
coat has stopped growing, the horse
will 90 through the winter with scar
cely any coat at all.
2. Hardly ever should the heavy
draft-horse be clipped
8. The hair on the legs should be
left as q protection against rough
weather and wet, muddy roads.
4. Clipped horses must be careful
ly blanketed whenever allowed to
stand on the street, and properly pro-
tected in the stable. Never drive with
a blanket on.
5. A horse that will thrive and do
his work well without sweating easily
does not need to be clipped.
6. 1t is cruel and inhuman to clip
any horse and then not give him the
best Of care.
z. Private carriage horses, IL clipp-
ed, should be protected, when driven
about the streets, with loin-cloths.-

Christmas cakes, also a tub Of weak
punch, to all OF which the gifts made a
fine background. At one o'clock the
big bora was blown, and the negroes
lined up beneath the great live oaks
where the dinner had been cooked.
The only thing that was partaken OF
on the spot was the punch. The
guests were limited to three glasses
each. After the dinner had been dis
tributed. the presents were given
These varied, but generally the ditch
ers received pair Of high leather
boots, and the women received pat

After the presents were given out,
they all went to the old Prayer

could hear them singing and shouting
all through Christmas, night.

Everybody Is.

Way down, deep within their hearts
Everybody's lonesome,
Far within their secret parts
Everybody's lonesome.
Makes no difference how they smile or
How they live or what their style;
Once i'm every little while
Everybody's lonesome.
People first in big affairs
Even they are lonesome.
Maybe like to put on airs;
Just the same, they're lonesome.
Men for whom existence blends
Every good, who gain all ends,
Still reach out their hands for friends !;
Everybody's lonesome.
Women, silk clad, jeweled fine,
Yes, they, too, are lonesome
When their gems the brightest shine,
They are just as lonesome. wv
Some must serve and some command;
All still seek, with cropping hand,
Love and friends who understand,
Everybody's lonesome.
Though your gift Of friendships small,
Everybody's lonesome.
1t may answer someone's call,
Someone who il lonesome.
Give and give with might and main,
Give your hands, and join the chain;
And your gift will Be your gain.
Sometime when you're lonesome.
