EVnlgrant Party,
This watt a most amusing entertain-
ment given at a seaside place at tho
llllle clubhouse built out over the
water.
The Invitations read: "All Aboard
tor the Manor' Dock. Come in 'Emi-
grant' Costume; August Eighth at
Eight O'clock.
"Refreshments fifty cents."
The cards were limited to a coterie
who were well acquainted and as the
parting of tho ways was noar, every-
one entered most heartily into tho
(scheme. The couple who attracted a
igreat deal of attention was a man and
his wife who appeared as Dutch peas-
ants, including wooden shoes. "Pad-
dy" from "Cork" and "Sweet Kitty."
his colleen, were hailed with delight
Prlr.es were awarded to a family of
Russiau Jews, who were most realis-
tic, carrying great rolls and bags, with
a bird cage and a baby which was a
large doll.
The grand march was formed and all
passed hefore the Inspector, who gave
a clean bill of health. Refreshments
constated of- sandwiches, iced coffee,
doughnuts and pte served just as such
things are found in a country station;
a counter and benches had been at
ranged with tall diahes of fruit; plates
of sandwiches, alternating with "fried”
cakes and pie; hot tea or coffee, also
ice cream could be ordered.
Card tables were provided for those
who wished to play, and there W'as a
Jolly dance. Tho possibilities of this
plan are great and such an affair could
be utilized by a church society or club
as a means of making money.
Flags of all nations would make an
appropriate decoration.

Unique Wedding Anniversary.
At the celebration of the fortieth
wedding day interesting decorations
on tho dining room table either side of
the wedding cako were small dolls,
dressed in costumes which were exact
reproductions of the bridal apparel
worn by the bride and bridegroom on
their wedding day. Every one was bo
delighted In comparing fashions, and
a daughter of the couple wore her
mother's wedding gown, as the bride
of 40 years could not get into It.
The place cords bore pictures of the
honored guests taken at the time of
the original wedding and ones of to-
day, under which was written “Forty
Years After." A picture of the flrst
home and the present one were also on
the card. It is needless to say the
guests wore much pleased to have
these valuable souvenirs. The boxee
containing wedding cake bore the date
of tho wedding and the present date.

■ays:
"Now is the time to try on the

Collins was In a very uncomfortable
frame of mind as be journeyed down-
towu in the Subway, lie had been un
employed for nearly two months and
was fast approaching the end of hJs
resources when be answered tho prom-
ising advertisement In the newspaper.
An Invitation to call was the response,
and Colllna was almost certain that
hl« application would be "turned
down."
The reason for this pessimistic con-
clusion was that both the advertise-
ment and tho letter especially stated
that the advertiser wanted a "clean-
cut" man. Collins did not know what a
clean-cut man was, but he had always
issoclated tho phrase In his mind with
the mental picture of one of those
tailoring advertisements that appear
so lavishly In the periodical press,
wherein a youth of aristocratic bear-
ing and classical build Is shown, cane
In hand, dressed In clothes that have
evidently been moulded to his figure.
Collins was decidedly not a clothes-
horse type. His hair was curly,
where It should have been straight,
his nose was a little retrousse, and
his shoulders sloped a little, as all
muscular shoulders do, and were
wholly Innocent of padding. Decided-
ly Collins was not "clean-cut" In the
fashion-plate sense.
The car was crowded and Colllna
was hanging to a strap. He fell to
watching the face of a girl who was
seated opposite. It was one of those
sweet, composed faces which are so
rarely seen in cities, and which, when
seen, Impress themselves for a long
time upon the mind of the beholder.
She might be a stenographer, Collins
thought, going to her work In the
downtown section. A girl of respon-
tlirong. Ho reached her uud otiered
her hla arm. She declined It Indig-
nantly, and Colllna, crestfallen, fol-
lowed her to the car door, where hu
was at once seized by a gray-coated
Subway guard.
"Hold him!" yelled the puffy-faced
man, who, hatless and coatless, now
appeared on the scene. Even then
Collins notlcctl with satisfaction that
his eye was nearly closed and sur-
rounded by a widening circle of black,
shading off Into a medley of crimson,
magenta, and maroon. "That's the
fellow that assaulted and tried to rob
me."
Colllna saw the girl stop suddenly,
hesitate, and then return Impulsively
toward him. She laid her bund upon
hie arm.
"No, It Is a mistake," sho aald. "This
gentleman tried to protect me against
a despicable fellow who was Insulting
me, only—only—"
Her lips were trembling and sho
was evidently overcome by her emo-
tion. Collins looked up, wretched to
think that he should have been the
cause of bringing tears to her eyes.
Then, to bis amazement, he saw that
It was mirth, not fear, that agitated

This Is a very old game, but I bare
no doubt that it will be new to many,

In our youth will be glad to renew the
acquaintance. Any number of players

instance, suppose the letter “A” is i
agreed upon and the leader says "men- |

Apologies?”

I is turned up at one side and under the brim there is a cluster of
£ shaded roses. A length of black velvet ribbon is passed under the chin
and fastned under the roses at one side. Nearly all the new picture

an old-world unnearsuce to a simple hat and they are, for the greater part,
becoming.
sibillty too, no doubt, for there was a
quiet self-confidence in her manner
which made her, quite unconsciously,
a personality among the nondescript
humanity that crowded the car. Her
hair was light brown, and her eyes,
Collins perceived, when she lifted
them for a moment in his direction,
were his favorite color—at least, at
that moment—blue-gray.
On one side of her sat a swarthy,
mean-vlsaged individual, a common
Subway type. On the other sat a
puffy-faced gentleman, reading his
newspaper. Collins took all this In,
but hla mind was busy with the pros-
pective interview, and the thought
drove away the arrows of the busy
little god. Allison was tho head of an
Important corporation, and the whole
of Collins’ future hinged upon Allison's
definition of a "clean-cut" man. Col-
lins had totally forgotten the girl by
the time the train stopped at Brooklyn
bridge.
Suddenly his attention was drawn
to her by hearing her exclaim in a
low, well-modulated voice, but expres-
sive of intense scorn:
"Will you kindly stop pressing my
arm, sir?”
His nerves were already tingling.
This slight incident completely upset
his equilibrium. He saw the puffy-
faced man, who had begun to look
exceedingly uncomfortable, apparently
attempting to conceal himself behind
his newspaper. On the other side of
the girl the mean-faced individual was
snickering, evidently at her indigna-
tion. it was Just a common Subway
Incident: the puffy-faced man was evi-
dently one of these despicable crea-
tures who make a practice of molest-
ing women. Collins leaped forward
and dragged the puffy-faced man from
his seat. Holding him by the collar
with one hand he deltvered a clean
uppercut with the free fist, and had
the satisfaction of landing squarely
upon the puffy-faced man's optic.
Instantly the car was in an uproar.
Collins found himself the center of a
mass of struggling humanity. A man
was clapping him on the shoulder and
shouting approvingly. "Well done,
young fellow!" be exclaimed. "That’s
the way we Southerners would do.
Give him what he deserves!’’ Others
were straining to get at the puffy-
faced man, who, prone on the floor,
was endeavoring to shield himself
from a rain of kicks and blows.
Cqlllns worked himself free and
tried to help the girl through the
"Only he struck the wrong man,"
she said. "This gentleman was per-
fectly Innocent. ’
innocent!" snorted the puffy-faced
man. "I should say that I am Inno-
cent. I am a family man, and I can't
go home with a black eye. Besides,
I’m a churchwarden, and there’s noth-
ing In my life I have to conceal. My
name Is Robert B. Allison, president of
the Western Manufacturing company,
and the little influence that I have I
shall use to see that this young black-
guard gets the punishment he de-
serves."
Collins waB thunderstruck at this
piece of Information. Surely fate had
dealt very hardly with him. The puffy-
faced man, who had now adjusted his
coat and Jiat, did not look much like
a prospective employer. v
“Mr. Allison," he said Impulsively,
“I don’t care for myself, but if you are
a gentleman you will let me get this
lady out of this crowd. Won't you ac-
cept my humble apologies? My name
Is Collins—Frank Collins, and I was
on my way downtown to apply to you
for a position. 1 lose the position;
let us call the account even."
"You are Mr. Allison!" exclaimed
the girl. “Why, I am Grace Loomis,
and I was on my way to your office In
answer to your letter to call concern-
ing a private secretaryship.”
There was an awful silence. Col
lins dared not look up. The crowd
was melting away; the three stood
there together, for even the guard, see-
ing the turn matters were taking, had
wisely gone about his business. Sud-
denly a roar burst from Allison's lips.
"Good Lord, that's one on me!" he
said. "I can’t afford to have it get
about that I was mauled by one of
my employes to punish me for Insult-
ing my secretary. Besides, I need
you both to give evidence to my wife
about my eye. Come on down to my
office and we'll adjust matters. Mr.
Collins, your first official act will bo

something he had heard existed in
England. It was different from any
American business then in existence.
The new venture began In a very
small way, with practically no capital
and no backing. Ab It became a dem-
onstrated success, capital came to it
and men of affairs became interested
in the management.
Today this organization has thou-
sands of employes. It has 2,196 of-
fices In almost as many American cit-
ies. Its expenses are more than ten
million dollars a year. It has recent-
ly erected a building In Chicago worth
$300,000, one in New York costing
$400,000, and another In Cleveland
valued at $953,000, It Is building an
office building In Atlanta at a cost of
$142,000, another In Philadelphia val-
ued at $687,000, and a third in Boston
an expenditure of $1,300,000, Ftor
five years this corporation has been
erecting branch houses at the rate of
one every six days. AH told, it owns
725 buildings. Its real estate Is
worth $70,000,000, and it has main-
tenance funds of $14,000,000 more,
giving it a total capital of $84,000,000.

DIES IN GREAT AGONY
Still Works at Handloom.
The last of the handloom weavers of |
Wales, a man named Williams, was j
present at the Home Arts and Indus- J
tries exhibition at the Albert hall, Lon-1
don, not long since. Although he was
married only a few days before the ex-
hibition, his enthusiasm for Welsh
fabrics Is so great that he spent the
flrst part of his honeymoon in display-
ing them. For 400 years without a
break the Williamses of Denbighshire
have worked their silk looms. Mrs.
Williams declares that she will now
give up her drapery shop, acquire a
small loom, and create her own de-
signs. Williams made petticoats of
silk llnsey for Queen Victoria, and he
has made some for the queen.
