Als, LACE CURTAINS LAUSL FINISH AND GREETING THE ARMY. A Big Audience Listens to Ensign Edith Marshall. HRS. PERRY AND HER GUITAR The Auxiliary League Meeting at Wesley Church. SINGING THE ARMY SONGS. The Salvation Army left its dingy little hall on D street and took possessiun of the pleasant audience room uf Wesley Chapel last night. It was made so welcome by the Rev. Dr. Wilson, pastor of the church, and the other members of the auxiliary league, however, that ft felt almost, if not quite at home. An audience which filled the large room to overflowing before 3 o'clock, some of the people having come befor 7, greeted the army and the auxiliary league and learned to sympathize with them as well as to understand them somewhat before the interesting evening was over. It was an interesting evening, for it was full of novel- ty as well as enjoyment to must of those who were present. They went to the meet- ing knowing little or nothing of the army, they came away singing its songs, praising its deeds and feeling the ,ower of its con- secration and enthusiasia. Ensign Edith Marshall, the head of the auxiliary league in the United States, and Mrs. Maj. Perry from New York, Capt. McFetridge and Lieut. Taylor, in charge of the Washiagton corps; Mr. W. Redin Woodward and Mr. Henry Macfarland of the Washington branch of the auxiliary league sat with the Rev. Dr. Wilson on the platform. Clergy- men, church workers, members of the aux- Wiary league, and members of the local corps of the army were in tne audience. Dr. Wilson opened the meeting, feli tously explaining that it was the first Ensiga Edith Marshall. the series by which the auxiliary league hoped to increase its membersnip, and bring Washington into closer acyuaintance with the Salvation Army, which he praised as one of God's greatest instrumentahtics for saving fallen humanity. Then he turned the meeting cver to Ensign Marehall, a sweet-faced young gentlewoman, who very gently but very firmly tuok charge of it, and conducted it to the close in a most spirited and interesting manner. She made it as much like every day Salvation Army meeting as she cou!i in a fine church room without drums or tambourines and with her forces somewhat scattered in- stead of being all together at the front. Her talk about the army was not a long lecture, but @ series of brief ani happy re- marks sandwiched in between other things, so that at the close the audience had gotten @ great deal of information about the army and its work without being burdened by it. Her smiling, shining face, her intense ear- nestness and her practical and often hu- morous way of putting things helped to deepen the impression of all sae said. She never allowed the meeting to ¢rag for a minute, and yet she gave vo suggestion of being anxious or hurried, but did her work like a true soldier. After she had taken command she asked Dr. Wilson to lead in prayer, and after he had complied, she took the audience in hand and warmed them up so that they entered into the spirit of the meeting, by teaching them to sing a stir- ring army chorus. She explataed to them that she had been able to bring only Mrs. Maj. Perry with her, although she ex- W. Redin Weodward. pected another officer by Tuesday evening, because the “slum sister” whom she might have brought had just been exposed to the small pox in caring for a family living just over the rooms of the “slim post” in tenement house on Che would have been glad *o bring her,” she said, with a smile, as she gave the audience this sudden and startling ¢limpse into Sal- vation Army work, “but I knew you would be sorry if she brought the contagion with her.” She soon had the audience singing Com- mander Ballington Booth’s hymn, “I Am Satisfied With Jesus Here,” and they sang the chorus over and over again, while Brother Green, one of the converts of the local corps, came down, at Ensign Mar- shall’s bidding, from the gallery to give a characteristic ‘army testimony. She had him stand on the platform, where he told very simply, but very straightforwardly, in @ few earnest words how he had been’ an infidel, although of a religious family, and how he had been brought to know and love Christ by the Salvation Army. The officers and the other soldiers said “amen” and “hallelujah,” and many of the audience felt lke saying so too. After Ensign Marshall had talked a little more they had another opportunity to sing another of Commander Booth’s hymns,“The Waters of Jordan May Roll, But Jesus Will Carry Me Through,” the ensign explaining that these were the last words which Com- mander Booth heard from the lips of a dying Salvationist {a Australi ‘Now I want Brother Collier, a convert of Rev. Dr. W the local corps, to give his testimony,’ the ensign. od bless Brother sald some of the soldiers, and all the officers said “amen.” Brother lier, a refined, manly looking fellow, stood up in the front row of the gallery and modestly told how, in spite of good home influences, he had gotten to drinking when he went west and fell into bad company; how for six years he had been a habitual drunkard: how he had tried the Keeley cure and temperance pledges alike in vain, and how six months ago he had been converted in the Salvation Army meeting here, and since then had been completely cured by Christ so that the love of drink had left him. “We must sing the Lion of Judah Can Every Chain after that,” said En- sign Marshall, and the audience soon learn- ed that fine chorus and sang it with a vim. The ensign asked Mr. Woodward, the sec- retary of the Auxiliary League in Wash- ington, to-read the Bible lesson, and he ead the second chapter of the Epistle of St. James. Then the ensign announced the col- lection, without which no army meeting is complete, telling the audience something about the finances of the army, and de- scribing the rigid economy of expenditure both of the officers individually and in the general work of the army. She said that she thought Commander and Mrs. Booth, the heads of the army in this country, lived really more economically than they ought Mrs. Major Perry. to do, depriving themselves of things which were actually necessary, in view of the tm- portance of their duties and the constant Strain upon them. While the collection was being taken up by soldiers of the army Mr. Woodward, for the Auxiliary League, announced the meet- ings for Tuesday at the First Congrega- donal Church, corner of 10th and G, at 4:15 for ladies and at 8 for the general public, and a meeting for children at 3:20 on Wed- nesday at Wesley Chapel. He algo an- nounced that Mr. Bjorksten, a member of the Salvation Army in New York city, and a famtous tenor, would come from ‘New York to sing at the Congregational Church Tuesday night. Mr. Bjorksten was Chris- tine Nilsson’s favorite tenor, his voice is very fine and will add much to the meet- ing at the Congregational Church tonight. EnsignMarshall taught the audience another army hymn, and then asked Mr. Macfarland to say a few words for the Auxiliary sue. Mr. Macfarland said he was glad he was| @ member of the Auxiliary League, because that was the next best thing to being a member of the Salvation Army, which h believed to be Christ's army doing Christ's | work in Christ's spirit. To know it was to love it and to want to help it. The way to help was to join the Auxiliary League. Ensign Marshall emphasized what Mr. Macfarland said by telling a little more about the Auxiliary League, the link be- tween the churches and the army, made up of those sympathizing with the army though not necessarily approving its every method and inviting those present who were not members to join. Then she introduced Mrs. Major Perry, who came forward playing her gultar, sus. pended by a red ribbon around her neck and singing a simple little hymn to a quaint army tune, which stirred the heart. When she had finished the song she lald the guitar aside and told a little of her experi- ence, with her husband, in starting the army work in Denmark. She captured the audience at once, entertained and im- Pressed them, spoke with humor and pathos and sat down before her hearers had enough. But the rule of the army forbids long speeches or anything else that might be tedious, and a veteran like young Mrs. Major Perry never forgets the army rules. Ensign Marshall brought the meeting grad. ually to a close, telling the audience that at the meeting Tuesday night at the Con- gregational Church the soctal and rescue work of the army would be still further explained, as well as its general features, making a stirring personal appeal to the hearts of her hearers, having the audience sing an exquisite army hymn and finally offering a most fervent prayer, which she closed with the benediction. Many of the audience were loth to go and waited after the meeting to talk with the officers and the members of the league who were look- ing for recruits. a Army Orders.

IN THE HOTEL CORRIDOR: Mr. W. A. Henderson of Knoxville, Tenn., general counsel of the East Tennessee, Vir- sinia and Georgia railroad, has been in the city for a few days past, and has been much sought by the Tennessee colony eround the Metropolitan, where he has been stopping. Mr. Henderson is an attorney of marked prominence and reputation in his state, and is a gentleman who would at- tract attention in any crowd, being of dis- tinguished appearance, with mustache and imperial of silver gray and the general air | of a successful man. He was commenting | yesterday on the fact that his town, Knox- | ville, had not suffered during the recent | panic as did her sister city, Nashville. “Not @ single bank in our city suspended pay- ment for a day,” he said. “One concern, claiming to do a banking business failed, but it was not rated as a bank. Nashville, | on the other hand, experienced severai | bank failures, including prominent institu- | tions. The difference in the situation in the two cities can be explained by the fact that the banks of Nashville fought each other, while those of Knoxville pulled together. I remember reading in Greek history when @ boy.” continued Mr. Henderson by way of illustration, “that as Alexander was marching his army through Asia he noticed @ halt and break in the advance column and rode forward to ascertain the cause. | He was told that a swollen stream im- | peded the progress of his men, ‘Join hands | and press forward,’ he commanded. ‘A | stream might stop the advance of one man, but it cannot stop a legion.’ They joined hands and passed over. So the Knoxville | banks adapted that spirit and ‘Joined | hands,” thus averting disaster from all.” Speaking of politics in Tennessee, Mr. | Henderson stated that the Populist party was not a factor there and was gaining no strength and making no headway. “I have never heard such wholesale con- demnation of a public man for his stand | on a question of legislation as I have heard directed against Senator Cameron from his constituents since his anti-repeal speech in the Senate,” remarked Mr. James Gwyn of Philadelphia at the National. “In Phila- |delphia the feeling of resentment is very |strong, and every man I have heard dis- cuss the matter, republicans and demo- crats alike, condemn the position Senator Cameron has taken, and declare it does not | reflect the sentiments of his people. 1 even | heard one man, a republican, go to the ex- treme of declaring that the Senator should | be called upon to resign his seat.” Dr. Amos Fox of Atlanta, who has been here manipulating his fight for the post- mastership of the Georgia capital, was in |@ very pleasant frame of mind as he | laughed and chatted with his friends about ;the lobby of the Metropolitan last night. | He declares that he is now without oppo- sition and is bound to win. “Mr, Kountz, my quondam competitor, was here a few days ago,” sald Dr. Cox, “but he threw up the sponge and went home shortly after my arrival. He has withdrawn, and I now ave No apposition. I can only feel, there- fore, that my appointment 1s only a ques- tion of time. TI assume that the office will not be filled until the commission of Col. j Lewis, the republican incumbent, expires, which will be some time next month.” “In this year of the big world’s fair the annual celebration of our Missouri metropo- lls 1s somewhat eclipsed, perhaps, and there- fore Is not attracting the usual attention,” remarked Mr. A. G. Wortham of St. Louis at the Ebbitt. “But we hold in our city every fall a celebration—the eant and ball of the Velled Prophet—whichis a credit to any city, and which never fails to draw large crowds. It is being held there this week. It is a business enterprise in one sense, In that it 1s supported by the contri- butions of the business men for the purpose of drawing the country merchants and others to the city to make their fall pur- chases, but the general benefit accruing to St. Louis is almost incalculable. The city is filled with visitors, and a great deal of money is spent. I want to tell you, too, that it is no one-horse show that Is given. A large sum of money is expended on the floats and other features of the pageant, and the system of street fllumination, for which permanent fixtures are preserved from year to year, 1s unequaled in this country. The pageant, which is given at night, is through the principal streets, and is, of course, free to the public, but the ball 4s more exclusive, and tickets of admission are required and often sell at a premium. With the exception of New Orleans’ mardi gras, nothing similar has been maintained by any American city on such a high plane as the Veiled Prophet's celebration. Other cities have attempted annual festivities of but New Orleans and Louts alone have made theirs successful the same character, t. At one of Washington's high-class hotels there registered a few days ago an exquis- {tely dressed Englishman, who has been making an annual pilgrimage, each fall, to the capital. He is not a tourist, nor is he @ nobleman seeking a matrimonial alliance with a bank account attachment. He is on business bent, and he plies the avocation of @ fashionable London tailor. He seeks the orders of such society swells as are too fastidious to wear American-made clothes, and about a month later his customers here are attired in genuine English raiment “di- rect from Lunnun, deah boy.” They don’t fit any better nor look any better than clothes made here, perhaps, but then t are “English, you know,” and that is a great satisfaction. Washington is only one of many American cities this shrewd Eng- lishman “works,” and he says he finds them all fruitful and profitable field: “We have some queer guests," remarked the manager of a down-town hotel. “Some weeks ago a man stopping here asked to be shown the room Henry Clay used to occupy, and we gratified his curiosity. When he re- turned home he had himself interviewed in his local paper about his trip, and took occasion to enlarge on the outrageous a tion of the ptoprietors of this house in hav- ing the Clay room cut up into a lot of ‘lit- tle pigeon holes," as he expressed it, to be rented at so much each. The point’ of the story ts that the room in question stands in {ts originality, no material alterations having ever been made, and only such re- pairs as the wear and tear of usage requir- ed. Another guest asked recently to be shown the banquet hall in which “the wholesale poisoning,” as he said, took place. This was a legend with which we were unfamiliar, and as we could not appease his appetite to ‘sup on horrors’ he left dis- satisfied. They seem to think Washington is fairly alive with the marvelous, and that the hotels should have their share.’ Ex-Senator C. H. Van Wyck of Nebraska is in the city on @ visit and has rooms at the Riggs house. He ts accompanied by Mrs. Van Wyck and their little daughter. ‘The Senator is just recovering from a severe illness of four months’ duration and is still somewhat feeble, but is rapidly recovering his old-time vigor and health. His eye is none the less bright and his face is regain- ing its healthful glow, and the Senator is the same interesting conversationalist and positive speaker he has ever been. Last night he was chatting pleasantly in the parlors of the hotel with Secretary of Agri- culture Morton and other intimate friends, and afterward he talked briefly with a Star reporter about the financial and political situations. “We must have no more contraction of the currency,” he declared. “We tried that ‘once and suffered from it. What the people of the west want Is more currency of some kind—if not gold, silver; if not silver, paper: but no more contraction. The outcome of the fight in Congress interests us deeply, of course, and it is impossible to foretell ‘the result of it all. It looks, however, to use a common expression, as if Mr. Cleveland has ‘bit off more than he can chew.’ Thus far the results have been to raise interest charges and lower wages, and that 1s all.” -—e- Challenges the World to a Mile Race.

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. ‘The Word “Established.” It will be recalled that the excise board was recently appealed to to grant a license to a man in a remote part of the city. The Place sought to be licensed was not only within 400 feet of a school house, and a Place of religious worship, but there were Several protests against the same. The ad- Joining property was purchased, and in- ead of @ small bar room, a hotel was con- structed, and the applicant again applied for a license. His attorneys, while ac- knowledging the fact that as a bar room the Place was not entitled to a license, being within 400 feet of a public school and house of religious worship, but as a hotel was en- titled under the provision of section 5 of the new license law to a license. This pro- Vision reads: Provided, That any established hotel or tavern having twenty chambers for lodging guests shall always have the right to obtain for itself a license for a barroom on com- plying with the provisions of this act, and the petition in such case must be made by the owner or lessee of such hotel or tavern: When the case was called before the ex- cise board Commissioner Ross opposed it on the grounds that the law specilically referred to established hotels, and in the Present case the hotel was not nor had it been established. Upon his motion the case Was referred to the attorney for the Dis- a8 to the construction to be put upon the word “established” used in connection with the Words “hotel or tavern” in section 5 of the new liquor law. Yesterday Mr. Thomas sent his opin- fon to the Commissioners, in which he held that the word “established,” as used in the | new law, was not intended to be confined to such hotels or taverns as were in exist- ence or established at the date of the pass- age of the new liquor law. Such a con- struction, he says, would be too narrow, and would place hotels or taverns estab- lshed after the passage of the act on a different footing from those established be- fore, without any evidence that Congress intended to make such a discrimination. No One at the Hearing. loners yesterday expected to give a public hearing to those per- sons interested in the construction of the Norfolk and Western railroad within the city limits. An advertisement had been inserted in all the datly papers caing at- tention to this hearing, but at 1:30 o'clock, the time set, no one had appeared, and the matter went over indefinitely. Unless the Commissioners are requested to reopen the matter they will send their report upon the bill to Congress without giving a further public hearing. ‘Take the Oath. School Trustees Cornish, Hazen and Wit- mer appeared at ine Commissioners’ office yesterday, and Secretary Tindall admin- istered the oath of office to them as trustees of the public schools of the Dis- trict of Columbia. ‘The Transfer Station. The Commissioners have written a letter to President Dunlop of the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company re- questing him to furnish them with the final plans for the transfer station at 15th and G streets. The officials of the Treas- ury Department have given their consent to the establishment of a transfer station on the west side of the street opposite G street, but desire to have the architect of the treasury pass upon the plans before they are finally approved. Capt. Derby Returns. Capt. George McC. Derby, the engineer officer in charge of the water, light and sewer department, has returned to his desk after a short’ vacation. Building Permits. The following building permits have been issued: Thomas Burke, one brick dwell- ing at 54 26th street northwest, $3,000; Stephen Gatti, three brick dwellings and store at 451, 453 and 405 K street northwest, %,000; James H.

Punctuality at meals, a proposal to with- draw to one’s room under the pretext of letter writing if it be suspected that the hostess has something to occupy her par- Ucularly or even to relieve her of our con- tinuous society, a readiness to be easily amused or interested, all contribute toward making a welcome’ guest. An unselfish spirit is always the best guide. The room allotted to visitors Is generally a dainty one and often contains choice articles which re- quire careful use. Often cherished belong- ings re taken from accustomed places to minister to a guest's comfort or pleasure. A guest will, of course, keep the room in an orderly manner and handle its pretty ac- cessories with due regard to their delicacy. Some people seem to think that because they are visitors they need only be the re- cipients of attention, making little or no effort themselves to be entertaining, while others are the life of the house. It is one of the unwritten laws of court- esy that a guest shall hold bis or her tal- ents, accomplishments or powers of enter- taining at the service of the hostess and be ready with cheerful alacrity, but with no shade of ostentation, to comply with the slightest intimation on he> part of her de- sire for assistance. Every one should be able to make some contribution to the gen- eral enjoyment. ———s00 Mysterious Tragedy in New York. Carrie Pearsall, the wife of a policeman, of 515 East 86th street, was shot in the hall: way of her home yesterday afternoon by Mrs. Catherine Fitzgerald of 25 8th avenue, said to be Inspector McLaughlin's sister-in- law. Carrie died last night. The murderess is under arrest. The utmost reticence re- garding the matter is maintained by those most concerned, and the police for some reason or another seem to be anxious to keep the seczet within themselves. ——~ce+. 2a ing of the Name Valkyrie. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Every one is now talking of th Valkyrie, but not many are familiar with the legend attached to the name. It is from the Norse mythology, and translated Uterally is “Maids of Siauxhter.” “The Valkyrie” are beautiful maidens, attendants of Odin, the god of war, who in this con- nection is often called Val, which means “father of the slain.” The’ Valkyrie take care of his drinking horns, nd wait upon him at table; but their chief duty is to at his bidding, array themselves in shining armor, and ride to the <cene of battle to sway the victory and to choose those who are to be slain. Poets represent them as being received gladly by the hero to whom they appear, for he knows that they have come to invite him to Valhal, the soldier's heaven. Odin’s hall, according to the Norse story, is resplendent with soll, its ceilings supported by spears, warmel’ by the fire flashing from the sworis of heroes, and 450 gates swing open to receive the brave who fall in battle. yacht soe While going home from work last even- a donkey engine near Scranton.

The New York Herald's Montevideo, Uru- guay, special says: Owing to the press censorship which has been maintained by the Brazilian govern- ment the Herald correspondent in Rio Jan- eiro has been unable to send dispatches di- rect from that city, but letters received here yesterday describe events in the turbu- lent city up to September 22. The harbor was quiet on that date.

These mgneu- | vers followed the bombardment of Armacoa and Nictheroy by the rebel fleet, and while the government made every effort to con- ceal the effects of the firing it is known that twenty persons were killed, the great- est loss of life being in the latter town, which is on the bay, five miles from Rio Janeiro. The Bombardment. Aside from the loss of life great damage was done during the bombardment. Valu- able naval stores were ruined, and the in- habitants fled from the cities, which were practically abandoned, in which condition they still remain. The arsenals in Rio Janeiro and Fort Santa Cruz were also bombarded, but with little damage. A few shells fell in the city, creating a general alarm and driving the terror strick- en inhabitants to Petropolis, twenty-five miles from the capital, and to other places, which the fugitives corsider a safe distance from the scene of hostilities. Five ships forced their way past Fort Santa Cruz and proceeded to Santos, where their appearance caused general consterna- tion among the townsfolk. Shots were exchanged by the ships and the land forces In Santos. but without seri- ous results to either side, and the vessels then proceeded to Santa Catharina to estab- lish Melio’s headquarters et this point. ‘The Government Unpopular. The government is a dictatorship and is becoming more unpopular dally. Pelxoto refuses to resign and retains his power through sheer force of his military follow- ing, which consists of about 5,00) men. Of this foree only small part ts com- posed of regular troops, the remainder, ing militia, police and firemet This body is still loyal, although there is a dangerous scarcity of provisions in the forts. Fre- quent outrages on the part of the military are reported and families are abandoning thelr homes to escape the villainies of these marauders. Fort Villegaiznon and the naval school, which are under Admiral Kaldanha Da Grana, are still neutral, but should Peixoto continue his present policy they will join Mello. Minister Periera has resigned. ‘There is a scarcity of supplies and provis- fons of all kinds in Rio Janeiro and great suffering prevails. This destitution is an added cause for the dissatisfaction that exists in the city. Mello is expecting reinforcements from the south, He needs men to serve on his steamers and believes his forces will be augmented by allies from that part of the country, He 1s also looking for an uprising in the city to aid his maneuvers. He relies on the digression thus created to enable him to attzck the capital with good results to him- self. ‘The water front is still guarded from the shore to prevent the landing of the sailors from the fivet, while the latter has stopped all traffic by water. An Italian Satlor Killed. A launch from the Italian cruiser Bausan, which was going ashore from the ship, was fired on by the soldiers on shore and one of the foreign sailors was killed. The Italian minister demanded instant reparation for this attack and the govern- ment promptly made amends by offering an apology and paying 100,000 miireis. A boat carrying an American flag was also made a target for the shots of the land forces. The captain went before the Ameri- can consul and lodged a complaint against the Brazilian government. If Mello establishes his headquarters in Santa Catharina he will be joined by hosts of sympathisers from Rio Janeiro and other cities throughout the country, and a pro- visional government will be established there. Large numbers of fugitives from Rio Jan- eiro are arriving In Montevideo, having flea from the Brazilian capital to escape being thrown into prison. a A Vigorous Indictmen: From the New York Herald. The Associated Press, once composed of the leading newspapers of the east and south,assoclated together for the purpose of gathering and distributing news, was aban- doned by nearly every newspaper of im- portance about a year ago, and since then has served no journal in this city, except one recently started. The association—if that can be called an association where one lonesome crow “flocks” by itself—has been driven to hard straits for news with which to supply its wild and woolly ally.the West- ern Associated Press—especially foreign news. Seeing the abundant feast supplied by the Herald to its readers it has crawled under the table and stolen the broken | victuals left the day after each banquet. In other words, it takes the Herald's spe- cial cable news from South America, for example, and clumsily garbles it the next day for distribution in the west. _ see Fighting Busch, the Brewer. The Brewery Drivers and Firemen’s Union of St. Louis called on Adolphus Busch, Sunday nicht, for the final answer to their demand for his signature to the wage scale. Mr. Busch refused to sign, and a strike and boycott against the Annheu- ser-Busch brewery has been decided upon. It is likely other brewers will become allies of Mr. Busch and a hot fight is expected. STAND old-fasb- ly.

It is a fact not so well known but that it may be said to be curious that the letters j and w are modern additions to the alpha- bet, says a writer in the St. Louis Republic. The use of the j may be said to have be- come general during the time of the com- monwealth, say between 1649 and 1658. From 1630 to 166 its use is exceedingly rare. In the century immediately preceding the seventeenth it became the fashion to in place of 12. This fashi linge= but only in physicians’ preserinny ~ a iptions, I be- lieve.

In a like man- ner the printers and language makers of the latter part of the sixteenth century be- gan to recognize the fact that there was & sound in spoken English which was with- out @ representative in the shape of an | alphabetical sign or character, as the first sound in the word wet. Prior to that time it had always been spelled as vet, the v having the long sound of u or of two u's together. In order to convey an idea of the new sound they began to spell such words as wet, weather, web, etc., with two u's, and as the u of that date was a typical v, the three words above looked like this: yvet, vveather, vveb. After awhile the typefounders recognized the fact that the double u had come to stay, so they joined the two v's together and made the charac- ter now so well known as the w. There is one book in which three forms of the w are given. The first is the old double v (vv), the next is one in which the last stroke of the first v crosses the first stroke of the second and the third is the common w as used today. Dinner May Be a Bore. From the Chicago Journal. “Why is it,” an American lady asked a foreign prince, “that no matter how un- congenial people are, you put them side by side? A dinner is a social affair— | “I beg your pardon, my dear madam,” he interrupted, “it is not at all a so@ial affair with us. A man or a woman would rather be placed beside a bitter enemy than move down one chair to cit beside a dear friend. A dinner with us is a solemn function, and Prope: form is much more thought of ‘than sociability. It is mot strange that you Americans, as well as strangers, enjoy your own famous hospitality. With you | there is so little stiffness and formality— | you can give yourself up to the social en- joyment of congenial neighbors at table, and not sit up bored to death by two prosy old parties on eithe> side, trying to enter- tain yourself with the fact that no inferior in rank is placed above you.” ———-se- An Engineer Sues His Lodge. 8.
