WHEN WALKING WITH LADIES
Nearly Every Country Has Its Own
Ideas as to Place Of Male
Escort.

Almost every country has it's own
fashions for men who walk with ladies'
on the public streets. In America and
In England We walk on the side of the
lady that Is nearer the street. Many
years ago when the streets were not
kept as clean as they are now, any
person walking on the outer edge Of
the pavements was likely to get well
splashed with mud and rainwater, and
that Is why the gentlemen took that
side, so as to save the ladies' fire
clothes.
In some countries 1t is considered
better for the gentleman to keep near
er the middle of the pavement In or
der to preserve the lady from tost-
ling of persons going in the opposite
direction in a crowded street. When
it is the rule for every one to keep
to the right those who are on the
left of the two passing streams are
continually being bumped into. In
Germany the gentleman always keep
on the same side Of the lady, no mat
ter which side of the street they may
be on or which way they are going I,

STOPPED THE cHILD's CRIES
Sudden Philanthropy Of Newsboy Put
an End to Walls of the
Youngster.

Nobody seemed to know what he
was crying about, but 1t must have
been something, for the youngster was
running the entire gamut Of infantile
shrieks. He was tow-headed, lace
collared little chap Of four or five.
down town on shopping tour with
his mother, large, fashionably at
tired woman Of the society type.
People along the street turned and
looked at the waiting youngster, but
1t wasn't up to them to say anything
and they just let him cry. The mother
tried to hush him, but to no avail.
Whatever It was that he was so lach-
rymous and worked up over had him
right. Then strolled up little news
boy-a lad probably nine or ten years
Of age, but not much larger than the
five-year-old. The newsboy was just
starting to eat a banana when he
heard the shrill shrieks Of the smaller
Kid. Whether as joke or in q spirit
of magnanimity he rushed up along
side Of the astonished mother, placed
the banana In her sons hand and
says:
Here. DO. eat that an stop your
yellin'."
And the unexpectednes Of the gift
did actually stop the noise and teara
In about two seconds and half.

Money Value of Women.

II you are married woman, and
were asked to tell just what you were
worth in hard cash to your husband.
what figure would you name? The
question is not a fanciful one by any
means, but has been subject OF tu-
dicial consideration.
It was this way: The wife OF an
Iowa farmer bought gallon OF what
purported to be kerosene, but which
was afterward shown to be II per
cent. gasoline. When the woman used
some of it to start fire with the stun
exploded, and she was burnt to death
and her three children were seriously
injured. The woman's husband sued
the dealers for damages, and the jury
awarded him $25 for the loss Of his
wife and $299.71 per child on account
of injuries.
The defendants evidently thought
that a woman was not worth $25, for
they took an appeal from the verdict.
The learned court however, declined
to look at it in that light, and the
Judgment was aflrmed.-New York
Mail.

Reception and Dance to Mr.. and Mrs.

Notable for its elegance and brill
fancy was the reception and dance
given last evening in the Elks' hall
by Miss Mary Ross Parker when she
entertained in honor of Mr.. and Mrs.
John Milton Gordon, who have recent.
ly married and are just home from
an extended bridal trip to the North
and East. Four hundred invitations
had been issued, and as very few re-
grets were returned, a large and rep
resentative gathering of the social
element of Bryan and College was
present.
Every detail of the occasion was
elegant and perfect, the appointments
and decorations rejecting the ex-
quisite taste which always character
ICES entertainments given by this gen.
ial hostess. She having planned the
decorations they were ably executed
under the direction Of an artist from
Houston, and when completed pro-
duced a wondrous beauty. Ablaze with

closet and mantel were banked With
exquisite American Beauty roses and
ferns. Innumerable red tapers placed
throughout the reception suite added
to the beauty of the artistic effect.
Six-handed euchre was the diversion
of the hour and the beautiful score
cards in poinsetta design were passed
by dainty little Misses Kate Parker
and Margaret Cooper. The table mark
ers were also poinsettas. During the
five progressions of this ~pleasurable
game, when the pleasure was at the
highest, the hostess placed on each
tabe crystal dishes filled with stuffed
dates. At the close of the final game
each guest was given the privilege of
cutting for the souvenir of the after
noon. Miss Ray Conway was the
lucky one and received a %buttonnier
of exquisite coloring. To the sweet
honoree Miss Chance presented a
friendship circle in gold.
The refreshment plate was a pic
ture within itself and showed the ex-
quisite taste of the hostess. On the
pure white china plate was chicken
salad with salad dressing, olives,
crackers, sandwiches, and cherry
cream served in poinsetta cups added
color and beauty to the viands.

beautiful bamboo vine formed a mural
"tracery about the room. On the ten
drills of the vine were brightly col
ored butterflies and myriad electric
lights twinkled amid the foliage.
The grand march was led by Mr..
and Mrs. John Milton Gordon, and at
its conclusion the ball programs were
distributed. These were beautiful in
white with gold lettering, the outside
cover being ornamented with hand
painted gold butterflies while on the
inside leaf appeared the m OF
the hostess, honorees and the date
of the hospitality.
The prettiest feature of the dance
was the cotillion which was grace
fully led by Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon,
Miss Knight of Dallas and Mr.. Roy
Grissom. With sixty couples on the
floor the figure of a butterfly was per-
fectly made, then the lights were ex-
tinguished in the hall, leaving only
the lights from a magnificent pink
butterfly trimmed in gilt that was
suspended just above the figure of
the cotillion. Around on the edge OF
the butterny's wings were numerous
electric bulbs with pink crysanthe-
mum caps, the effect being superb.
The favors were appropriate and
added to the beauty Of the figure.
Gold butterfly hair ornaments for the
girls and butterfly buttonniers for
the gentlemen were distributed by
Miss Parker and Mr.. Brandon. The
maids looked very fetching in their
headgear and the dancers presented
a pretty picture as they moved about
the room.
The musicians stand was extreme
ly lovely. A semi-circle of trellis
work was formed above with a BAN
lister of the same beneath, this being
outlined with a pretty green vine with
butterflies of all colors caught in with
the tendrils, and suspended from the
center of the trellis was a large yell
low butterfly. Towering palms and
massive ferns banked about this pro-
duced a pretty effect. Besserer's or
chestra from Austin discoursed
throughout the evening the latest
popular dance music, to the infinite
pleasure of the company.

In Social Circles
Mrs. Dona carnes, Edltress.

myriads Of lights and fragrant with
quantities of long-stemmed chrysan-
themums and carnations, the spacious
hall and parlors presented a beautiful
scene. AS the guests first assembled
the stairs they were shown into the
dressing room by maids where wraps
were removed; thence to the reading
room where a cordial welcome await
ed them by Mr.. and Mrs, T. X. Law
renee, Mr.. and Mrs. R. E. L. Knight
of Dallas, Mr.. and Mrs. M. B. Par
ker, Mr.. and Mrs. p. S.. Tilson of
Houston, Mr.. Lawrence Parker, Mr..
and Mrs. j. e. Josey of Beaumont.
Passing from this room into the
large ballroom Miss Parker gave a
glad welcome to her guests and pre-
scented Mr.. and Mrs. Gordon. Con-
gratulations we're then mingled with
introdutcions and greetings, and many
were the good wishes showered upon
the young couple by admiring friends.
With many it was the pleasure of re-
newing acquaintance with the bride,
who, as Miss Johnson, has been the
guest of the hostess on several occa-
sions. Standing in line with the
hostess and her escort, Mr.. G. NJ.
Brandon, and the honorees were Mr..
and Mrs. r. O.. Astin, Miss Mary
Watts Knight of Dallas and Mr.. Roy
! Grissom, Miss Frances Chance and
Mr.. Bob Hearne, Miss Stella Lacy of
| Waco and Mr.. Bob Harrison, Miss
Rowena Rhodes and Mr.. VIII Saun-

Harry Poverty, Miss Nell Cole and
Mr.. John Collins, Miss Carolyn Gid
dings of Brennan and Mr.. R. O..
lockwood of Wharton, Miss Bessie
Scale and Mr.. Ed Saunders, and Mr..
Maxey Wickes.
The guests were then escorted to
the punch table, where they were re-
freshed with a delicious beverage
served from a scintillating cut glass
punch bowl that rested on a table
decorated with plumosa fern and pink
chrysanthemums, while above was a
trellis of lattice work in a half circle
~festooned with smilaX and daintily
colored butterflies. In the center of
this and directly above the table
hung an exquisite maline butterfly in
pink with gilt trimmings. Here the
guests were entertained by Mr.. and
Mrs. E. H. Astin, Mr.. and Mrs. j. S
Mooring, Mr.. and Mrs. G. w. Smith,
Jr., and Mrs. Mabel Castles.
The reading room where the guests
were first welcomed was exquisite in
pink and white, Killarney roses, crys-
anthemums, vines, palms and ferns
being utilized to produce a scene Of
loneliness. Beneath a vine latticed
trellis from the center of which hung
a beautiful white gauzy butterfly,
poised as if ready to fly, was a hand
somely decorated table where hot
from a silver urn was served
with sandwiches and festenos. Here
the guests met with a beauty greet
ing from Mr.. and Mrs. w. d. Law
renee, Mr.. and Mrs. j. e. Astin and
Mr.. and Mrs, Tyler Haswell, who saw
that each one was served.
The ballroom was a scene of pic
torial beauty. The ceiling was almost
hidden by garlands of smilax and the

Miss Chance Entertains Bachelor
Girls Club

- S'e6
Among the beautiful affairs of the
fall, distinguished for its charm OF
arrangement and sincere enjoyment,
was the entertainment given Wednes-
day afternoon by Miss Frances
! Chance when in response to her gra-
cious invitation a large number of
guests assembled to enjoy the pleas
urable hospitality extended, This af-
fair was the hostess courtesy to the
Bachelor Girls Club; and yet it was
more, for at the same time she COM
plimented Mrs. John Milton Gordon,
giving to her the honors of the after
noon. Mrs. Gordon is a fascinating
young matron of several weeks, who
will by her winning ways and un.
affected manner make a host OF
friends in this, her new home.
Receiving with Miss Chance was
the guest of honor, Mrs. Gordon; Miss
Mary Watts Knight of Dallas and Miss
Mary Ross Parker; and from the time
one entered the lovely home the eye
was dazzled with the beauty of the
surroundings, for every detail was
carried out with the greatest care and
taste, and the flowers did all that
flowers can do to add the finishing
touch. This was a beautiful poinsetta
party and red was the color scheme
that was so perfectly and harmonious
ly carried out through the plan of ar
rangement. In the entrance hall was
seen massive palms and ferns, and a
brass stand filled with long-stemmed
poinsettas was especially admired.
Poinsettas and fragrant red arna-
tons in crystal vases with the &C.
compartment Of foliage plants har-
moni2ed with the flemish oak in the
library. Plumosa fern was gracefully
festooned over the mantel, and in the
center of the mantel shelf was a crys-
tai vase filled with crimson carna-
lions, while on either side were the
crystal candlesticks holding red
tapers. A tall brass stand holding
gorgeous ~poinsettas was placed on the
hearth, showing to advantage against
the brick fireplace.
