Women at fashionable functions wear these flow era aa corsage bouquets. As every one know, no lady adopts such a decoration for toa street in Paris. The few Americans who have attempted wear, lng a tiny bouquet of their favorite flower have almost Immediately had to throw them aside. In Paris the violet is not the emblem of modesty by any means.

evening at the high school hall. Mr. Underhill recently gave a reading ai Princeton which was thoroughly enjoyed by the students of the university. In these recitals he evinces skill and taste of a very high order, The following is a clipping from the Providence Journal concerning his wonderfuul talent: "It is no easy task to hold the attention and interest of an audience in the presentation of a half dozen different characters without any extraneous aid in the way of costume or stage setting. There is no illusion about a man in a dress suit on a bare platform, nor can the Imagination of the Hearers be materially swayed even by such Ingenious devices as those advocated by Bottom In Shakespeare's merry play. Whatever is accomplished must be by means of appropriate pose and gesture, change of facial expression, and skillful modulation of voice. It is but giving Mr. Underhill his due to say that he exhibited a. thorough mastery of these means of expression, and carried his audience with him equally in the delineation of pathos, fun or sentiment." J jt One of the most important social events of the past week .was the wedding of Mr. Edward Spences and Miss Martha Ellen Yoder, which was celebrated at the home of the bride's sister, Mrs. C. S. McCoole, of South B street. J & J Mrs. Joseph B. Strattan and Miss Zora E. Thomas, were quietly married last evening at the home of the Rev. J. O. Campbell, 114 North Sixth street. The ceremony was performed at eight

o'clock. The bride was attired in a brown tailored suit. Mr. and Mrs. Strattan will reside at 67 South Sixteenth street. J J J. Miss Lona Halderman, of Hagerstown, is the guest over Sunday of Miss Harriet Lyons, 47 South Fifteenth street. i J The shops are now full of dainty valentine favors and the shoppers are busy searching for odd designs in the way of gifts for friends. Hugo Heermann, the great violinist, will be heard here in recital Monday evening, February fifteenth, in the Gennett theater. 5 J& ' A number of young married women have formed a little sewing circle to meet at one another's houses during Lent. They will sew for the poor and at the close of the afternoon gather round the tea table. There is but one restriction o these gatherings. The members have sternly forbidden the three D'e, and conversation 'which touches on dress, domestics or disease is strictly tabooed. To keep the matroon from straying back into familiar conversational paths, a fine of ten cents for each offense is to be imposed upon everyone indulging in those enthralling topics. The proceeds are to be devoted to a charity yet to be voted upon. Part of the afternoon is to be devoted to reading some interesting topic of the day, followed by discussion. Similar vows against the three D's would be excellent Lenten discipline for many women, either in clubs or aloqe. To realize how large a part of daily conversation is occupied by these three topics one need only to think a minute. j j j Several parties were given at the Gennett last evening to see "The Witching Hour." j J J Mis Laura Gaston, assisted by Miss Louisa Millikan of New Castle, Miss

Florence Gayle, Miss Lucile Turner and Miss Dorothy Kirkpatrick of this city, has arranged for a recital to be given Wednesday evening, February tenth at New Castle. Indiana. A large number of persons from this city will be in attendance. J j j Miss Elizabeth Saunders and Miss Agnes Saunders will spend Sunday and Monday with relatives at Greenfield, Indiana.

CLUB NOTES

past week was the whist club which was entertained Friday afternoon by

Mrs. Earl Mann. A cotillion will be given Friday evening, February 19 by Mrs. Kolp's dancing class. J J j The J. T. Sewing circle will meet Monday afternoon with Mrs. Dietrick. J J . The ladies of the Eastern Star gave a social last evening in the Masonic hall. There was a large attendance.

MUSIC

One of the most enjoyable events of the past week was the evening recital given by the Music Study club Wednesday of the past week to celebrate Mendlessohn's one hundreth anniversary. J J J Marie Stoss, the talented young pupil of Vernon Spencer of the Steern Conservatory, played In concert with an orchestra in Frankfort recently. , J J Jt The choir of the First Methodist church, under the direction of Mrs. Grace Gormon, will give several anthems today. 1 j! The Berlin Royal high school was attended during the past year by 080 pupils, who were instructed by fiftyfour teachers. After Joachim's death a board of directors officiated, consisting of Max Bruch, Ernst Rudorf and Adolph Schulze. JS J J8 Princess Marie, of Saxon-Meiningen, has commissioned the well known sculptor. Otto Lessing, to make marble busts of Bethoven and Brahms for the hall of the new court theatre at Mtiningen. A very pleasing article concerning the life of Felix Mendelssohn-Barthody appeared in the past week's edition of the Musical Courier. It was written by Leonard Liebling. The Mendelssohn celebrations everywhere being held at this time are an absurdity and a farce, and the great composer's works are not helped materially by this sudden and single performance on the part of our orchestras. The proper way to show appreciation of Mendelssohn is to produce hia works as frequently as those of the other masters of music. If .his sympholes are not worth figuring on programs in 1908 or 1910, then assuredly they are not worth performances in 1909. Musical Courier. Albert Spalding played in Washington recently with the Russian Symphony orchestra. ti Miss Adelaide Norwood's singing voice is perhaps one of the best on the American stage, or in Europe, for that matter. There is no voice to compare wit it in lyric sweetness and quality. It is by contrast that one realizes how far ahead and how much above in its perfection it is over all others. In no otther single voice that reaches one over the footlights, in all America, is there such a rare blending of quality and tone perfection, such a perfect method of use, coupled with such purity of English as that which Miss Norwood possesses. One sits enthralled under its spell, particularly when it is heard In such music as characterizes "Madam Butterfly," Puccini's masterpiece, which ia to be presented in this city on the evening of February 17. It was a very graceful Englishman who during her recent London engagement took occasion to say of Miss Norwood's singing, "Her enunciation of English, both in speaking and singing, is that which was taken away in the Mayflower and which she now

gives back to us in its original pur ity."

"James, as I passed the servants' hal! today I saw you kiss one of the parlor maids." "Yes, my lady. When would that have been, my lady ?' "About 4 o'clock." "Oh. yes, my lady; that would have been Jane, my lady."-Punch.

The Alice Carey club will eelebrate the centenary of Abraham Lincoln Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Chauncey Riffle 0$ South Twelfth street. The affair promises to be a delightful function as an excellent program has been prepared for the occasion. Jt & The Trifolinm Literary society, an organization of the First English Lu

theran church has made arrangements i

lor a delightful program to be given Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Nusbaum. According to the year book a talk on the life of Robert Burns was to have been given by Miss Alice Knollenberg but as she Is out of the city other arrangements concerning this part of the program will be made. A feature of the evening will be a program of "Scotch Ba'lads" arranged for by the program committee A number of guests will be ia attendance. N J J 1 A Lincoln centenary social will be given Friday evening by the Young People's sociuty of the First Presbyterian church.

BIG ROADS FAIL III THE COMPACT FOR HIGH RATES Slashing Has Begun and It May Continue Until Freight Tariffs Are Completely Demoralized. WEAKNESS IS REVEALED IN LATEST CONFLICT The Differential Rate Principle Proves a Sorry Makeshift And Brought No Relief to The Roads.

Chicago, Feb. 6. The local freight rate fight in trunk line association territory has begun and no telling where it will end. This much is certain, however, it apparently destroys the last hopes of the roads for bringing about the general advance in rate3 which has been under discussion for the last eight months. The outbreak of the war also demonstrates how flimsy, after all. Is the alleged community of Interests idea which was expected to end forever all such exhibitions of spleen and prevent squandering of railroad revenues by the outbreak of conflicts which has never ended in anything but heavy losses to all engaged in them. It may be that another result of the conflict in question will be abolition of the differential rate principle. It has been admitted on all sides that the principle is a sorry makeshift resorted to in desperation in the vain hope that by conceding it to the weak lines they might be induced to refrain from practices which had a tendency to throw the whole situation into disorder. These so-called weak lines are restrained to a large extent by the provisions of the interstate commerce law from Indulging in the practices which the introduction of the differential rate principle originally was brought about. It has always been the cause of endless bickering and hard feeling among the roads and the present may be seized upon ps a suitable occasion for bringing about Its abolition. The western roads always have refused to recognize it in their territory and they appear to have fared no worse, to say the least, than their eastern associates who have had to resort to it only to find themselves in continual turmoils over its enforcement. In the meantime notices of intended reductions in rates are being filed with the interstate commerce' commission in numbers and once filed the rates must continue in force for at least thirty days after they become effective. It is hinted that the passenger rate situation may also become badly affected.

Evils of Kissing Are Narrated Doctor Called as Expert, Says Germs May Enter the Human Frame When No Abrasion of Flesh

"Can you give an example r" asked a lawyer. "Osculation is the commonest example," replied the physician.
