PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
A little maid of four
Watches the wheels go round;
And never, never fast enough
To move for her they’re found.
A lass of sweet sixteen
Thinks not how fsst or slow—
Life is so fair—she careth not
Howe'er the wheels may go.
The dame pi ripening years,
In their relentless play, ■
Wills not to watch the whirling wheels
The fast hands fain would stay.
But yet—there comes a time
When life’s high noon is past—
The aged watcher, like the child,
Would have the wheels turn fest
For sunset means to her
Night’s rest, and then a dawn
When life and love divine shall bless
In heaven the beauteous morn!

. Do the majority of women, I won
der, realize that a bright and intelli
gent face is always attractive, no mat
ter what the features may be This
attractiveness depends almost entirely
upon the expression, and in its turn
expression depends to a groat extent
on character. A sullen and disagreea
ble expression will be invariably seen
when the disposition is a soured and
discontented one. And a bright, good
natnred expression belongs to the un
selfish who thinks of the comfort of
others oftoner than hsr own. Perhaps
thio is one of the chief reasons why
women who have some occupation in
life are so much brighter, and often
keep young looking longer than do
those who wake up mtirning after
morning, wondering what on earth
they can do to pass the time, and
whose chief aim and end is their own
selfish pleasure.

The tea at which Mies Fiorrie Jeane
Richards entertained Wednesday eve
ning, was a most delightful event. The
pretty Taylor street home was artisti
cally decorated with palms, ferns and
smilax, with a brilliant touch of glow
ing crimson carnations. In tbe dining
room, the decorations were of beautiful
yellow chrysanthemums and feathery
learns. Tbe table was very lovely,
with its juperb centerpiece of chrysan
themums and handsome appointment
of dainty china, cutglaes and silver—
an elegant menu was served. Mias
Richards, who is always bright and
charming and exquisitely gowned,
wore an unusually pretty toilette on this
occasion, with a handsome skirt of
black taffetas. Miss Richards wore a
waist of taffetas in two shades of blue
—a tucked vest of yellow satin and a
bit of black velvet completed thia styl
ish and becoming bodice Mrs. Rich
ards assisted Miss Richards in dispen
sing the hospitalities of the evening.
Mrs. Richards is a brilliant and most
attractive woman. On Wednesday
evening she was daintily gowned in
black not, over taffetas. Those present
were Mr. and Mrs. Renees Bawtvll, Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph Drewry, Prof, and
Mrs. Eugene Ragland, Mrs. Richards,
Miss Richards, Miso Oarrilu Richards
and Mr Edward Richards.

There seems to be a great and joy
ous “awakening” on music in America
this year, and tike everything taken
up by Americans, it io not done by
halves. Music will be the fad. and it
is to be hoped aome good will result
therefrom Along with this great “re-
vivaT there comes tbe usual aocompa
nirnent of quarrels and “baekeapping”
that seems positively necessary to the
mnsician’t life, and those on tbe out
side are having the usual attacks of
naasea It takes a long time in the
Mwsieal atmosphere to gw* owed to thio
thing, but when one does got to lbs
paint where they can separate thio un
pleasant phase of the art from the
good, and get out of music all there is!
io It, some piessure io to be derived
Bat it takes a long time, and many
Jell by the Way side in an exhausted
condition, and all interest dies forth
with. Pity it is that such conditions
exist, for it takes irons good aomic tbe
fioancisl support of those who have
not made the separation, and there are
too few of those who have tn give it
maintenance, io visswwl the high coat
of the great artists If a musician
would be content, after fame has been
won, to place himself within reach of
the public, we would have more music*
but when the treamndous rums that
are demanded by artists of note are
taken into consideration, they are tbe
highest priced and moot inaccessible
people in the world. When we think
that Paderewski received $2,000 for
playing the piano a few minutes, and
that Mardica has received SI,OOO for
singing two or three songs, the inac
cessibility is explsined. When once a
man has been caught in a great loss in
an attempt to give his home an oppor*
tunity of bearing noted artists, and
finds there is nothing in it but hard
work and loss of money, it takes but a
short time for him to retire to the
peaceful and now irritating influences
of private life.

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, bnt also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Sybvp
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
