SOGiALSALAD
PigASANTLY REPOSTED FOE
SUNDAY’S CALL.
Till wh«n will I lore thee, dearest?
Till the sun forgets to smile,
Till the night with noiseless tread forgets
to follow day:
Till some weary while
When the truant stars have run away.
Till when will I love thee, dearest?
Till the winds forget to sing
Soft their love-songs through the throbbing
And brooks cease murmuring
Melodies through flower-donned banks so
fair. . . - -
Till when win I love thee, dearest ?
Till the charm o': beauty fades,
And the pairing purple of this warm heart
pales, /vl,-. * v.'
And the shrouding shades
Os dismal death the softened life-light
veils.

The week socially has been a bright
and delightful one, and the larger
social functions like the smaller ones,
have been very happy occasions

The reception with which Mr. and
Mrs. Baldwin B. Davis complimented
Mr. and Mrs. William D. Davis on
Wednesday evening was an affair of
unusual elegance and brilliancy. The
entire lower floor of the Davis home,
which is one of the most spacious and
beautiful in this city, was thrown open
for the entertainment of the guest*.
Brilliant with lights and adorned with
flowers, the house seemed to empha
sise the cordial welcome of the host
and hostess.
Mr. and Mrs. Davis received their
guests in the front drawing room to
the left of the entrance hall. The
floral decorations of palms, American
beauty roses and lilies added frag
rance and lovelinraa to the reception
apartment, aod the end of the room
in whioh the receiving party stood,
was gracefully decorated with tetp*
aod festoons of smilax.
Mrs. Davis, who is a very handsome
young woman with attractive man*.
*" ners, wore a gown of white lace
trimmed organdie over blue taffetas,
which was fresh and dainty, and de
cidedly becoming. She carried an
armfull of pink carnations. Mrs.
William Davis wore her wedding
gown—an exquisite creation of em
broidered mousselaine de soie over
white satin. Mrs. Davis is a beautiful
woman with clear grey eyes and dark,

The dining-room of Mrs. Davis*
home is the prettiest of her many
pretty rooms, and on Wednesday
evening, beautiful decorations of white
cai nations, lilies and smilax gave an
additional charm to its elegant ap
pointments. The bride's table at
which tire entire bridal party was
seated, was all that was lovely. The
handsome white table covering across
which ran broad white satin ribbons
and a delicate tracery of smilax, the
embossed cakes, the silver candelabra
bolding the waxen tapers over which
there bung dainty shades of white
crepe paper with green-tinted edges,
made a picture long-to-be-remem
bered. An elegant supper of salads,
olives, wafers, aod sandwiches, tea,
ice cream and cake was served.
Mr. Gibson, a talented harpist of
Chicago, furnished sweet music
throughout the evening.

Ethel Cole, charmingly attired in
white organdie gowns, very gracefully
dispersed punch. Several hundred
guests called, and the evening was one
of genuine enjoyment.

The German press of every stripe is
condemning the United States. All
the newspapers impute selfish and
base motives to America and praise
the attitude of Spain.
The president has concluded to
send a message to congress Monday
asking that body to declare war.
Members of the cabinet, with one or
two exceptions, still believe that a
war declaration is necessary in order
to fix a proper status of this govern
ment, as such a declaration unques
tionably would enlarge the scope of
this government in case of a general
conflict, and it is thought congress
will be naked to take this step on
Monday.
