The room it- self was appropriately set with palms and foliage plants, which had the effect of bringing out the lighter tnts of the table in greater beauty. The mantels at either end of the room were massed with mai hair ferns and the mirrors framed in as- paragus vines and smilax. The great stretch of linen was broken by three oval plats of maiden-hair fern, the center one twice as large as the cthers—sprayed with yellow r ses. This yellow and green effect was carried out in all the details of the dainty feast. Miss Morton’s gu Mrs. Olney, Mrs. . Fuller, Mr: .

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The criticism of the Tawney bill which appeared in The Star of May 5, and which was written by a ‘‘clerk in the pension of- fice,” merits, I think, a reply. Mdst of the statements made by the gentleman show that he either could not have read the bill at all, or; if he did read it, he did not read it understandingly. His statements are so far away from the statements of the bill itself that I advise all the clerks who read his letter and who read this to get The Star of May 1 or 2 and read the bill. They will then get an accurate idea of it; such, in fact, as every clerk ought to have. The clerk whose letter zays, “The object of the Tawney bill is good, but the modus operandi of accomplishing it is bad and un- just, for many reasons,” has the most ac- curate conception of the provisions of the bill and what they should be, and his letter contains suggestions which every clerk should study. I have been a clerk for five years, and am one of the great mass of clerks who will have the burdens of the unjust and inequitable portion of the bill to bear, while the favored few get a guod thing—if the bill should become a law. This is the second draft of a bill on this subject. if this contains unjust or inequit- able features, then the first bill was a monstrosity of injustice. I opposed the first bill when it was in the committee, and many of the grounds of my objections were removed and do not appear in the present draft. But ii is not yet perfect. It has defects that should be remedied if it is to become a law and forced upon us for any reason. It is, however, in the hands of the com- mittee on civil service reform, and is sub- ject to revision and correction. There are arguments in favor of a proper pian of this kind, and there are objections in the minds of some which can never be overcome. I do not propose to arzue it either way; I write simply to suggest to the thinking clerks to study the bill itself and then to state your objections or arguments in its favor ta the committee and to your Congressman. You will thus be doing somethirg practical. E. C. PALMER, Pension Bureau. Se Death of Mrs. James K. Jones, jr., Mrs. James K.
