Superstitions vary with different
people, but the old one of 13 at
the table apparently belongs to
all of us. Friday at Mrs. Clinton
Tribby's luncheon for Carrie
Roper Fulton, one of the guests
was called hurriedly out of town
Mrs. Tribby called the club to tell
them there would be one less and
was greeted by the most tremen-
douS excitement - the statement
that that one cancellation would
make 13 at table and the an.
nouncement that two tables would
have to be used. Mrs. Tribby,
privately, thought the whole
thing rather silly, but consented
to the arrangement and-was she
glad, for when her guests arrived
and heard the story they all in
formed her that not one of them
would have consented to sit down
with 13!
Mrs. Albert Cox, titian-haired

people who not only knows what
he wants, but invariably gets it

When the Senator and his sisters,
Misses Ida and Pauletta Guffey,

the house was listed as Benton
Street. However, there was an
other Benton Street, also North.
west, which was two miles farther
out and most of the Senator's
guests insisted upon going to the
latter Benton Street and finally.
after much confusion, arriving at
the first Benton Street. So. not so
long ago, Benton Street number
one became Benton Place-the
Senator's house number, originally
numbered 2729, became 1929, and
the house phone number, also
1929. What could be nicer?

Decorations" So the Diplomatic
Corps, never so colorful as when
they don their decorations, will be
in their glory at the party Thurs
day night.
AniS Aver for number of years
has let his imagination run riot as
to the possibilities of redecorating
the legation on Massachusetts,
Avenue. At last he has realized
his dream, that is, partially. One
of the rooms on the first floor Of
the legation has gone through a
complete change and will be the
scene of the dancing during the
evening Of the reception.
Skyblue Ceiling
1t Is done in Arabesque style.
The ceilings are sky-blue, while the
walls are done in a sand shade.
About the top of the wall is a
frieze, and to use Mr.. Azer's de-
scription, which resembles the or
namentation about the main court
Of a Mosque" The geometric de-
sign Is done in an unusual red and
deep navy blue.
Two enormous hand carved
Persian lamps have been pur-
chased by Mr.. Aver to add still
more oriental flavor to the room.
They are simply indeScribable,"
he replied to our query. They are
table lamps standing 612 feet
high.
The charming Charge DAT
faires has only had since July 3
to redecorate the room and as a
consequence it will be somewhat
incomplete when the guests ar
rive Thursday night.
Now that he has started on this
renovating orgy, Mr.. Aver has a.
wealth of ideas for the remainder
of the legation-but just what
else will be done remains to be
seen.

WANTED: AN ALIBI

A There a great many alibs given by hunters for coming home with an empty bag. Yesterday as we struggled out to the beach, after walking what we felt to be at least hundred miles, thought of almost all of them In fact compiled what seemed at the moment a very ample mental list During a fcur-h boat trip to the home port we muled them over carefully, decided the best two or three to try out first and decided they were just about fool proof.
 Then we went home.
 The first three, a couple of which have served us well through the years blew up with noise re- sembng firecracker which fails to off as we faced cross examination Flounderng like cat in a well, we attempted to offer few conceived quickly in the emergency but wound up in complete rout
 This morning slunk into the office hoping the boys had been so busy they wouldn't have noticed our absence. But no such break Nobody is ever too busy to cross examine luckess hunter
 Now that the worst is over we have decided to form the G.W,CH.WD. dhe guy who came home without deer) The dues are one good alibi. Meet ngs will be held every fall.

WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 3, 1887

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1887
 Astrologers read this as an un- certain day in planetary direction The morning hours may be marked by uncertainty and indecision.
 There is promising sign for bankers and financiers who will unite to preserve certain business policies. In a sense capitalists may form unions or may formulate poll cies to combat radical labor move ments. .
 This is an suspicious date for signing contracts or agreements of any sort. It seems to presage ln- Iternational pacts of great import ance.
 Bad feeling directed toward many government leaders or holders of federal and state appointments is indicated. The wise will avoid has ty judgment.
 Workers may pc disturbed by dBIIdbOlS WllO nave duoPtSO AS" methods to promote secret plans Industry may be hampered by strike dangers.
 Coal miners come under a sway that is of evil portent. Accidents as well as labor troubles are prog nosticated.
 Women should be lucky today in the pursuit of feminine objec- tives. It is an suspicious sway for weddings if ceremonies are per formed after midday.
 British government affairs may be exceedingly uncertain. The rise of new leaders is forecast, while oldtime statesmen are superseded.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of a year of fairly good fortune which in many cases may be attended by annoyances. It is wise to postpone changes.
 Children born on this day may be exceedingly clever and resource ful. Subjects of this sign have great courage and much initiative.
 Cyrus w. Field, who projected the Atlantic cable, was born on this day 1319 Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Stephen Fuller Austin, Texas pioneer, l793; William Cullen Bryant, poet, 1794.
