The table, spread in its usual size, had places for three at each end. ‘The fine linen cloth had at each corner the let- ters U. 8. or an American shield done in fine embroidery. The old-time plateau down’ the center was entirely covered with pots of lady- slipper orchidsof a pale yellow color, the plants Leing so close together as to make @solid bed of the blossoms and their foliage and alzo flat | enough for the guests to sec one another across the table, At cach cover there were a few large yellow rose buds twisted together in a corsage ouquet. The name cards were a decided nov- elty, though very simple. ‘They were little im- ported calendars if book shape and on the outer cover some dainty design in flower or scroll work, and the lady's name was arti tically painted.

Scoffers that many of us are when the subject of medical treatment comes up in prosperous days of health, we all value the services of a good physician above those of any other per- son, of whatever profession or trade, when the pain of disease and the menace of death cou- tront us. Honest men forget this in large measure when they ure called upon in health to pay the debts of illness, but they pay the doctor as soon as they can, and that is the main thing. ‘Men who are not #0 honest neither remember nor pay, and the consequence is that the mem- bers of a hard-working aud self-sacrificing pro- fession are regularly deprived of a considerable share of their just carnings. It is remarkable how many persons who settle other proper claims against them with reason- able promptness are slow to pay doctors’ bills, and it is greatly to the credit of the medical fraternity that, in spite of tue unfair treat- ment to which physicians are subjected, few of them ever have the hardness of heart to let a serious call for assistance go unanswered, even though it may come from a patient who is nearly sure to refuse pay for treatment, not- withstanding ample ability to do so.
