Miscellaneous Shower For Rride.EIect.

Misses 'Mattie and Ethel Galloway entertained about p or 30 of tn ir girl friends yesterday afternoon, at their home, 1416 West Fourteenth avenue, with miscellaneous shower in honor of Miss Lo,a V. Orion, one of the seasons popular brides alscJ. The decorations were all in Halloween style, the colors being yellow ana black, the flowers being nasturtiums, and witches, black cats, goblins. and other such insignia of the time being promiscuous.
 Hearts were played during the afternoon, hand-painted score care. being decorated with little cupids and flaming hearts. Delicious rafrasa- m snts, also appropriate in every way, were served and greatly enjoyed. In the midst of the jollity of the afternoon, two little witches, riding on brooms in typical witch styY~, entered the room where the members of the party were gathered, and pre- sented the honoree with big basket, covered with willow crepe paper which was decorated with black cats and other startling designs The witches were little Misses Martha Jackman and Frances Marian Mar wick. Miss Hattie Galloway then ae- dressed Miss Orton, in verse as fol lows:
 "Out of their wierd hole they leapt, "When they heard the chime of
 bells;
 "They've brought thee here, with
 nimble steps,
 Gifts that of love do tell. %so open now each mystic package And take a glance within; You'll find each one thought of you Brought from the witches den." Miss Orton, at first overwhelmed, recovered her composure and re- sponded in the following sentiments: "The spooks and goblins and dear
 little sprites
 "Have been busy here, day and
 night;
 Perhaps Aladdin, from his wondrous
 cave,
 Opened his heart and freely gave
 of his treasures rare; "But I am. o, so glad you heard the
 bells,
 "In ycur mystic home down in the
 dell.
 "I prize. the gifts and you are true
 blue,
 "And the goblins never, never will
 get you."

Speaking OF those made homeless
and destitute by the war, he says
in part:
81 saw them tramping aimless-
ly along wind-swept, rain-washed
roads, fleeing from burning and
devastated villages l saw them
sleeping upon the miry earth with
no cover and no shelter. l saw
them herded together in the
towns and cities from which
many OF them ultimately fed, ex
listing God alone knows how:
l saw them-ragged, furtive scare
corresponding in the shattered
ruins OF their houses, seeking sal.
wage where there was no salvage
to be found. l saw them living
living like the beasts Of the field,
upon such things as the beasts
of the field would reject. / saw
them standing in long lines wait
ing for their part of the dole OF
charity which already was near
ly exhausted. l saw their towns
when hardly one stone stood up.
on another. l saw their aban.
doned farm lands where the
harvests rotted in the burrows
and the fruit hung mildewed and
and ungathered upon the trees.
| saw their cities where trade was
dead and credit was a thing that
no longer existed. l saw them
staggering along from WEAKNESS
and the weakness OF hunger. !
saw all these sights repeated and
multiplied ininitely-yes, and

The horrors OF war asportray.
ed by Mr.. Cobb are enough to
startle a hardened criminal. He
tells OF seeing soldiers in tatters
and streams OF wounded pouring
back from the front endlessly. 1t
is a strictly neutral word picture
he paints in the interest OF hu.
manity in the future. The title
of the article is The War Blight.

Here are the views OF three very
important men on prosperity
Thomas A.. Edison, who after the
burning d q $50. 10000 plant
is.net discouraged; ;Judgv E. n:
Gary, chairman of the board. Of
dinctorsDf the Steel Trust. and
James A. Farrell, president OF it
and executive Of 100000 work
ers. ~!
This is what MIR. Edison had
to say about worry in connec-
ton With the business condi-
tions:
"When any one talks a b o u
worry he might apply my new
standard Of worry. Just think OF
the kaiser, now on the defensive
with nearly 900 miles Of battle
front, all told, on the cost and
west. Why the average mans
worries sink into insigni6cance
compared to this. Another stan.
dard OF distress is Belgium-lit.
tie, gritty Belgiuml
ut has surprised me to seel,ow
Americans have become wea k
kneed over this war. They seem
to be stricken with a sort Of com.
mercial paralysis. They want.to
get out and do something; now
is the opportune time. Why, you
can: put q building up today
cheaper. than you could before
the war and yet many Of ofoursup-
posed good business men will
wait until the war is over, as d
sign Of prosperity and pay more
for the building. The wise man
will prepare now for the boom in
trade that we will soon expert
ence and which will be trelnen.
.dous after the war;" !
s'.'I do not expect rapid, but do
fexpect steadily sustained i'm
provements during 1885, Mr..
Farrell OF the Steel Trust, told a
Pittsburg audience. He insisted
that q period of renewed pros
perity was about to begin. Inas-
much as the steel business as the
steel business has been for years
a barometer of general business,
the statement of Mr.. Farrell was
considered of much Importance.
-"This country should be pros
porous all the time" was the O.
pinion Of Mr.. Gary. IT here
should be plenty Of work for all
who deserve work. Neither the
capitalist nor the poor man, the
employer nor the employee has
good reason for encouragement
in this country. 1t is to be regret
ted that there are 30 many idle
men at the present time, and ev.
cry reasonable effort should b.
given them to find employment.
l have great hopes that the mum
Der OF unemployed in this coun-
try will grow less and less, not
withstanding it may be expected
as a consequence of the war, i'm
migration will Increase. The op.
partunitv OF the United States
for success in every direction are
very great and never were.better.
1T remains with US to take ad-
vantage OF these circumstances.
We should become and remain
the leading nation OF the world,
financially, industliously an d
commercially; and, with t b ia
foundation, there should be no
limit to our prosperity, our in

thaat something is done to stem

ther right or wrong. Our church.
ee all along have maintained 1t

ness. 1t is sd We take it, with
cards. There ls a fascination a.
bout the game that leads one in.
to the habit. The so-called limo.
centgames are but the stepping
stones that lead to poker and
all forms of gambling. Our Lead
ing society people will not agree
with us but we are not making
this appeal to them, They are.
inpervious to reason on this
matter. They have acquired the
habit and they are no longer
open toconvertion. Our church.
es, especially those that have
a large contingent Of prominent
young people in thel member
ship, are silent ,op:, thessubject.
The pastors are either discour.
aged or afraid, and have ceased
to q large extent to preach on
the danger Of getting the habit.
Now thosec churches ought e. do
one Of two things, they ought to
lift the ban from card playing,
and let their young people in
this form of amusement, or else
they ought to enforce their rules
and put q stop to the practice.
AMI the latter is the step t h e y
ought to take. Card playing is
wrong. If christians are to avoid
the very appearance of evil they
must keep away from the card
table. We have noticed this:
Those who. are fascinat ted with
cards are not fascinated with the
work of the church. They cannot
be devotees Of cards and at the
same time consecrated servants
of the Lord Jesus Christ. The
two things will not mix. The ele-
ments are so different they can.
not dwell IN one and the q m
person. Another thing: We are
sorry for accompany Of young
people who are SO mentally i'm.
poverished as to be dependent
on cards for their rent tertainment;
and we beg our young friends
who honor Us by reading this pa
per, to cultivate those graces oil
head and heart that make one
independent of a form OF enter
taiument that furnishes the prin.
cipal amusement for the. brothel.

the society people but the black
legs.
