Some people's auras are In several colors. "Take, for Instance, the case of a person born on March 29. Their astral colors are white, pink and purple. We would, therefore, make up a box . of pink opera creams, purple fondant and white nougat composed of honey and nuts. "Sweets to correspond with table decorations are another feature.

"Kicks" Made on City Improvements

PALLADIUM WANT ADS. PAY

Are citizens of various sections of Richmond quick to "kick" when streets are neglected, or their sections

overlooked in any way by the city authorities? Why not ask something easy? Of course they complain, which is a milder way of saying they "kick." They do it rapidly, but that does not necessarily mean they accomplish their intentions. O, no. It is a very deliberative trio of men that composes the board of public works of this city. If they believe an improvement should be made and the property owners object, the resolutions are put forth at the board meetings anyway. But, if the objections take the form of a remonstrance, then the matter is placed before council for decision. That is the way the law says it shall be done, and isn't it a whole lot easier on the board? It is a whole lot harder to handle eleven men, who compose the city council, than meet the three members of the board in some dark alley and annihilate them, evenu if one is an expoliceman. The board knows this. It can show its appreciation of the intentions of these persons who petition for an impiovement by adopting a resolution providing for the same. If there are just as good frierds among the opposition to the proposition, It becomes an easy matter to push the affair along and put it up to council to decide upon. That is only a little prelude as to what happens in case kicks are made. The board stands in the way but when the complaint is aimed a skilful dodge permits council to become the object that must receive the banging. Richmond citizens do enter complaint against conditions demanding improvement or against the cost and quality, of improvements proposed. The board of works and city council try to treat the citizens fairly and give them what will be the most advisable in the end. It has not been the custom of council to fasten upon citizens and property owners the burdens of tax ac

cumulating from public Improvements that would be possible. The city council has the right to order an improvement, no matter how unreasonable or unnecessary it may be, If It tees fit, and the property owners would have no recourse except to the courts in the effort to secure an injunction. All Kinds of Kicks. There are "kicks" of one kind and "kicks" of another. One kind Is that of the property owner, who always wishes for some Improvement to be made In some other section of the city, or on some nearby street or alley, but always opposes when it strikes his neighborhood near enough for him to be assessed for a portion of the benefices. Witness this there are persons owning property located on South A street, who declare North E street to be in terrible shape and say by all means it ought to be paved. But, when a proposition was made to Tepair South A street and put down new sidewalks, there was complaint from the majority of the property owners and the work was postponed. The other kind of "kicker" la the property owner, who has bought his property after all Improvements are made. The walk in front of his house la all right, but that of hl3 neighbor on each side is bad. He stands in the way of any general Improvement, because his walks are all right and do not need repairing. This kind of a kicker and likewise the other do not stand in very good favor. There is the man or woman, who "kicks" for and not against improvements. He wants streets made better, sidewalks put down, sewers Installed and other advantages offered. He does not want to stand in the way of progress and says so. The new walk may cost him his intended overcoat and other furnishings, but he passes these up for the good of the cause and accepts the improvement with a welcome. This is the kind of citizen the board and council like to become acquainted with. How many are there in Richmond?

O'NeaFs Shabby Trick Not Appreciated by Many Friends

Apathy Toward Things Political Shown by Merchants of Richmond

Their customary apathy in things political, is being displayed by Richmond business and commercial men this year. When calls are issued by the chairmen of the organizations of either of the leading parties, there is but slight response on the part of the business men. They do not appear interested In the clubs that are organized to create enthusiasm. They do not find time for such things and they are left to the professional men. usually attorneys or newspaper men to push through. The attorneys are the main instigators in injecting life into politics in Rlchomnd. "Well, you see, we don't find time to run around to political gatherings, "professered one Main street business man. "We have our Commercial club and other meetings to go to. O, of course we are Interested In how the elections go but we ought not to be expected to turn out and help enliven things." "Don't you believe an enterprising merchant, who would show interest in political campaigns, go to the meetings, make talks and try to stir up enthusiasm, would Incidentally be helping his own business at the same time?" the merchant was asked. The interviewer continued: "It looks to me the newspapers would quote what you say. Your name would appear la tM news columns under

news heads. Your patrons would see that you are awake and can see something besides your own place of business to take interest in. A customer is not likely to be so narrow minded as to refuse to buy from you what you have In your store that he wants simply because your politics may be different from his." But the merchant said he couldn't see things In that light. "Why, I feel sure it would hurt my trade" he said. "The customers would think I was out of my line and ought to be directing the affairs of the store instead of running around "to these meetings," he added. "No, J can't see that there Is any reason why a business man should break Into politics, that's all." and the words of the merchant Indicated he was through.

"Well, I would if I could, but I can't" "Why?" " 'Cause I'm married now." Nobody knows the tune any better than Paul (better known as Pill) O'Neal. He learned It yesterday. It was taught by Miss Fannie Savage, who now Is to be addressed, Mrs. Paul O'Neal. . Jt Happened at Covington, Ky. Are you on? They're the one that was added to one makes two, but still they remain one, or rather are one, now. Come on, get wise, it's a fact. If you have doubts, ask papa. At the O'Neal home papa Is spelled W. P. and he signs his name as a member of the board of public works.

All the girls say Paul is swell, cute, and use many other adjecetlves describing him that Is they did, but they won't now. Already such expressions as "It's too bad he's married," have been heard on the streets. Pilky (that's another name) has a Job down at the Hoosier Drill. II has been working pretty faithfully and the pool tables have missed him of late. He Is one of the regular office force. He tired of single harness and married yesterday. Miss Savage, whose home Is at Centervllle, did not object to the traces and the life's journey has been begun. They will reside at Centervllle. That was a real nice celebration accorded Mr. and Mrs. Newlywed upon their return to the city last evening.

Han0 It All. The village carpenter had given so generously of his services and sound advice toward rebuilding the school that when It was completed the villagers agreed that he should be asked to speak after the luncheon which was to follow the opening service. The day and the carpenter's speech came. "Ladies and gentlemen; dear friends, he began, his brown face very red indeed, "I am s great deal better fitted for the scaffold than for public speaking." Then he realized what be had said and sat down amid roars of laughter. London Telegraph.
