and should not be passed over without much consideration and planning by the hostess. A single centerpiece could be made by covering the largest gas globe with white cotton and set it in a wreath of holly like a giant snowball. Fill the globe with a small gift for each guest and from the top have sprigs of holly, mistletoe or sprays of red berries. Attached to each gift should be a narrow red ribbon that extends to the plate of a guest. The ribbon can be tied around the neck of a strutting turkey filled with candy and used as a place card. At the close of the meal each guest pulls her ribbon and draws out a gift. - Scattered around the table can be small dishe3 of cakes and candy set in beds of holly, to which extra berries arevtied to give a more vivid tone. The four candles or the branching candelabra can have shades of bright red paper under the cut-silver frames, if one-owns them; or-paper shades can be made in a blunt wedge-shape, with sprays of holly or poinsetta painted on each of the four sides. If the dinner is not to be long the ribbons coming from the snowball can end in a large gilt star at each plate, with an individual red candle in the center, stuck in a small tin holder. A decoration that would give much pleasure to children, would be to cover a dishpan with greens, fill it with small gifts and on the top as on a nest, have, a huge goose sitting. This goose can be made of cardboard and covered with cotton batting. The bill la painted bright yellow and shoe buttons are stuck in for eyes. Attached to each gift could be a string of evergreen leading to a plate and ending in a gay place card. The open meeting of the Music Study club which will be held this evening in the Starr Piano parlors, promises to be an enjoyable affair. Each member is permitted to invite several guests. The program is in charge of Miss Francisco, pianist, and Miss Hecker, violin, who have arranged for several very pretty numbers. , Miss Marie Kaufman and Miss Pearl Hasecoster will be among the soloists, while Miss Kirk and Miss Maria Francisco will give several piano numbers. Mrs. Gephart of Hart, Michigan, is in the city, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. C Garver, of South Fifteenth street.

Verdi Paid the Bill. When "Aida" was first played at Milan an amateur living at some distance came to hear it, but was disappointed. To make sure he tried it the second time, with the same result, whereupon he wrote to the composer complaining of having been put to considerable expense on his account for nothing and inclosing a bill for thirtytwo liri, with a request for the money. Among the items was one of two liri for a "detestable supper." Verdi deducted this on the ground that he might have had supper at home, but forwarded the balance on condition that his correspondent signed a formal agreement not to go and hear the opera again, which agreement was strictly fulfilled. , The Hone Dp.rlns; the Middle A Ken. The importance of the horse during the middle ages, especially In the crusades and in the tournaments which followed in the wake of the crusades, is significant. Fully half the glamor and romance that surrounded the knight belonged to She horse, for without the horse those daring deeds in behalf of the weak and suffering had never been done. The horse, however, has had his reward, for the best feature of the middl age, outside the church, is closely identified with his name, lasting tracea of which are seen In the noble word "chivalry."

the brewers line up for Shively or not. Honan for Speaker. Not only is the contest for senator practically settled, but the speakership is cinched also. Representative Tom Honan, of Seymour, will be elected speaker beyond a doubt. Senator Frank Kistler, of LOgansport, is slated for the minority leadership In the

senate, and Representative Fred King, of Wabash, will be elected republican floor leader in the house. This appears to be the slate and It will probably go through. Happy as June Bugs. The democratic conference was a pretty good sized affair, and the democrats present were happy as June bugs. They got each other around

There were more smiles to th square inch among them than have been seen before among Indiana democrats Blnce 1894.- But they didn't accomplish anything. They just talked and then had a banquet at the expense of the Marion county representatives and then went home.

scnal hatred between the two. Fleming could probably throw his Twelfth district vote to L.. Ert Slack and thus defeat Kern, but Slack is not and nev-

er has been satisfactory to the brewJers and Taggart does not like him because he has fought the Taggart majcaine. Therefore, it is pointed out

by some, what would be more natural than that Fleming should throw the Twelfth district to Shively, thus remaining in line with the brewers and at the same time defeating Kern. Still Slack and Kern. If this were to work out according to this talk Shively could be elected. But I still stick to the statement that the real fight is between' Kern and Slack, and that none of the other candidates has even a look in. They may have their eyes set on the senatorship two years hence, provided the legislature is democratic, but there i3 not one of them outside of these two that really believes he has a show to be elected. There is even a possibility that Kern may be elected on the first ballot in the democratic caucus, but this is not likely. It Is st.!V tjat there are some members of the legislature out In the state who are standing for the candidate from their district who have signed statements agreeing to vote for Kern if their votes are needed to elect him, even going so far as to say they will do this oa the first ballot If necessary. So it does not look like it will make much difference whether
