Listen, my daughter, and you shall hear a tale that was told me by my grandmother’'s grandmother the last time that I was incarnated, and the only reason I chance to know it Is oecause I have such a good memory. Once upon a time, so my great-great- grandmother said, there was a land in which the women became very much dissatisfied with the men, who were horrid things, and so they held a4 great meeting and resolved that they would go to a beautiful island of which | they knew and there establish a repub- lic for women only. So one fair-day they salled away to the isiand, elected a Presidentess—who appointed a Cabi- net of Ministeresses—a Vice Presiden- tess and other officeresses; established | some perfectly lovely pargain counters, and soon had things running smoothly | and beautifully. They then burned | their ships, so that none of them would Ve tempted to return to the horrid men, and you never did see anything so pe fectly cute as the republic. It was just too sweet for anything. But after a time it was observed that the women used to walk upon the sea- shore, each by herself, gaze toward the land of the men and sigh, “If there were only just one here, it wouldn't seem so—" They never completed the sentence, and so my great-great-grand- mother did not know why they sighed. Well, after a time there came up a mighty storm, and in the course of it a man, still living, was cast upon the beach of their island. Now, wasn't| that horrid? The women immeadiately held a mass meeting to decide what | should be dene with him. “Of course,” the fair Presidentess re- marked in her opening speech, “we nnot be so cruel as to let him ale. | | Somebody must care for him and look | after him, and inasmuch as the wel- | fare of this republic has been placed | in my keeping, I feel'that it is my duty —that is, I—well, I will make him my | charge.’ ‘Not so, my honored Presidentess,” Vice Presidentess hastily inter- posed; “my duties are less onerous than { yours. 1 will look after him.” “He eclearly comes within my prov- | ince,” said the Secretaryess of Foreign Affairs. "I will attend to his case. “No, I will,” cried all the other Sec- retaryesses, and after that all of the unofficial electors said that they would. “Clearly we must take a vote,” sug- gested the Presidentess, “and the one | who receives the most votes will care for this odious creature.” So 1379 votes were cast for 1379 dif- ferent women. | Then the trouble began, and within five minutes every woman there pres- ent looked as if she had attended a bargain sale that afternoon. Fortu- nately, however, at this point the poor | man committed suicide. He said that | he couidn’t afford to take the chances | of living. My grandmother's grandmother said she didn't know what happened after that, as she left the happy island and swam to the mainland, but she had un- derstood that the other women did the same. ‘Moral—What's the use of mentioning it, when it ought to be plain to every- body? the I WISH I WERE. I wish 1 were the crimson ross That Mary's cheek caresse: I would I were the bodice sweet That 'gainst her bosom presses; I fain would be the gentle breeze That in her tresses lingers, Or e'en the most unthankful cat Caressed by Mary’s fingers. I wish I were the dainty glove That holds her hand in keeping, The necklace round her snowy neck, Its wealth of beauty reaping; 1 would that I were anything That's near and dear to Mary— T'd also wish I were a chump, But that's unnpecessary. “Mae so far forgot herself as to tell him that he was a fool even to think of such a thing as marrylng her.” “What did he say?” “Said that, now that he came to con- sider the matter, he realized that she was right"” rilas TED'S B_E_(ilNNlNG.

B. Clifford, last eyening. The cammodlous rooms of the Hotel Melville on Van Ness avenue were placed at the disposal of the young guests, and a pronounced air of festivity filled the dwelling. The entrance ball, reception rooms and | all apartments on two floors gave evi- dence of balmy pines, bay and other for- est greens, the house being a wilderness of boughs and branches. Amons these were profusely mingled bright red ber- ries, which, catching the glow of many colored lights, fairly scintillated their warm hue. The large dancing hall below likewise presented the forest effect and here a merry assembly danced away many hours. Miss Clifford, in her beautiful graduat- ing gown of richly embroidered lace, was ‘radiant with happiness and this event of triple mouf will linger indelibly in- the minds of all attending. With the celebration of her eighteenth birthday the fair bud was presented to society by her parents, who also rormally { announced her engagement to Sylvanus Farnham, and, with the wedding day still a year away, Miss Clifford and her flance wiil be among the winter's most-sought- for favorites. Receiving the grests were Mrs. Clifford, | wearing a white net robe, over white taffeta; M Eisie Clifford in a very handsome French importation of pink point ¢'esprit over pink chiffon; Miss Eve- lyn Clifford in white; Miss Lilitan Wil- liams, gowned in pale blue crepe de chine; E. C. Farnham and Mrs. Clifton Kroll. The guests included all of the season's debutantes and many of those contem- porary with Miss Eisie Clifford last year.
