1113 QAinTY of holiday week hits
Id
never Mtrptissed this season, us
fnr as evening affairs are eon
eerned, hut there Is a dearth of
the daytime functions usually
noted. Whether It Is a wise provision
of careful chaperons to seeutu much
heauty sleep for their charges Is not
disclosed, certain It Ih that there ai
fewer card pu les, luncheons and tenst
than usual. All thoughts center on the
Hauhelor.s' hall. It Ik the llrst time In
the history of these resplendent affairs
when the work of preparation has pro
gressed so far nt this stage. Hitherto,
the liyruimi could lie secured only dur
ing the previous day by the committee
and all details had to he rushed with
the greatest possible rapidity. The oc
cupation of the Armory this year gives
ample time for arrangements, and the
advantage Is nlrcady evident. The
floor will be superb. 11 Is Hearing eoiu
llletlon, and the boxes are In place,
while the work of decorating has been
begun. Those who are doubtful about
the expediency of using the colossal
building for the ball, wnlch has here
tofore been enhanced by the graceful
setting of the Lyceum, need be no
longer solicitous. The Huehelor.s' ball
of this year will surpass In elegance
and general effect anything In the past.
The great auditorium will be screened
to more cosy proportions. Heatitlful
draperies In delicate tints will be used.
Flowers and the green luxurtancu of
(;lirlstmas-tlde will add to the scene, I
and In every respect the delight of this
Bieat affair of the twelve-month will
be Increased.
Tile heating facilities have been im
proved and many extra lights are to
ndd to the brilliance of the scene. There
III be lovely women In gorgeous
gowns and many lovely girls in the rare
beauty of their youth.
Kveryone knows how entrancing or
chestral or band music sounds in this
vast edlllce. ttnuer's orehestia will
have half a hundred pieces and the
numbers will be new and inspiring,
(.treat trouble has been taken with tit"
music, and the selections embrace the
best and the latest of that which Is
popular in New York society.
The refreshments are to be unu.suully
attractive to the eye cod the tafite.
They will bo provided by I'ursell, of
Xew York. The exquisite protrrunimt"
are from Prendergast's. Clark will dl
ieit the Howl effects and Fuliiiiiuu
will be in charge of the other decora
tions. Tickets are in gioat demand,
and the ball is to be s-'ometliing far ex-
reding the liveliest anticipations of
even the youngest debutante in h"r
toMe.st dreams.
('ongi ostium and .Mrs. William Cou
ncil will celebrate their goldin wed
ding Thursday evening next at their
home, on Vine street. Kltibor.itu prep
arations are being made for the event,
to which a large number of invitations
me issued. .Many out-ot-town guebls
will be piesent.
A musical engagement of the greatest
Interest to the lovers of melody Is an
nounced in the coming of the Klaw &
ICrkinger Opera company to the Ly
ceum theatre, Wednesday evening,
January S. "Foxy Quiller," De Koven
and Smith's successful comic opera, Is
to bo the vehicle and Jerome Sykes, the
bright and particular star. The very
fact that Do Koven and Smith are re
sponsible for "Foxy Quiller" Insures a
delightful evening, in addition to this
that the opera Is produced by Messrs.
Klaw & Erluncrer who have long held
the proud position of being the most
elaborate producers In the country,
make it certain that s-eenic magnifi
cence and handsome costumes will be

If there is any one object to which
the public should give- support with
enthusiasm. It Is something which will
nesist In forming a fund for super.in- ,
una ted teachers. They are underpaid,

The holiday season is saddened to a
large number of Intimate friends and
"Id time acquaintances by the death
of Mr. William Sllknmn. In his ie
moval fiom the active life in which he
has been so long known, the city loses
a personality familiar and honotcd and
many closely connected by ties of soei'tl
relations, one who was held in tender
affection. Few men possess such sup
erb distinction of appearance and still
fewer have the gentle, kindly traits of
character with which Mr. Silkmun was
endowed. His home life was pai-tleu-Ituly
beautiful and that home is in-
ueen a aesniaie ana loriorn spot tins
Christmas tide, for within Its shelter '
ho was the
object of more devotion
than falls to the lot of most men.

! HKR POINT OF VIEW 1 1
Sn.MMHODY hns said that nil women
nio ttllku but that men mo differ
cut, Chrlsttnascs In the uggreguto
are ulllie but ClulhtinitH Is different,
This one was much the sumo as nil
the otheis which have gone Into the
past, and yet it had In It something
evti- new and hweet. Thorn were new
sin prises, new hinds of neckties, new
glils 011 calendars, new hair nruaments
and new wuys of making old sorts) of
devices) for causing useful kitchen arll
cle.s to tuko on tho appearance of brie-ti-brae
for the parlor. There were now
books lu plain dresd and dear old-fsish-loued
homely frlcnd-boolsH lu such gay
uttlro that you would never Imvo spok
en to them when you met. There weie
new ways of spoiling good china under
the hallueltiatlou that you were decor
utlng it. There were new weird things
designed for the confusion of the sim
ple mind of man und foreordained to
tangle up his personal belongings at the
same time with his mentality. Ho may
elect to hang hla new fungled moueholr
enso on the wall Under the Impression
that It Is purely decorative and there
fore, according to his benighted Ideas, a
"tidy," To most men every thing not
good to eat Is a tidy.
There were now ami niieer things for
making the heart of the college men
glad and there were new fripperies to
make the up-to-date college girl more
dangerous. There were any number of
new ntnl Idiotic things for which a
hum's wife had spent his good money
und at receiving which he had been
obliged to smile In ghastly fashion and
simulate delight.
There were those who received a col
lection of gifts, which they promptly
proceeded to swap with various mem
bers of the family to the best possible
advuntage. There Were others who
said wearily: "Dear me, she gave mo
the same sort of an old phi to Inst
year!" and there were also those who
began to plan which things they
the holiday spoke to them
It Is a very sweet and happy occn
slon. and I sincerely trust that the
present custom of observing It will
never go out of fashion, pvpm If i dn
ru.h ,., elves altnost to death In pre -
paring for It. Half the pleasure of the
season consists in just tins hurry and

Christmas, lose a lot of delightful
thrills In the excitement of guessln;r
whether In their haste they will not
forget to send something to their dear
est friend. There is all the uncer
tainty, too, that Christmas eve will
steal on us unaware, when we aren't
neaily ready, and although It really
does Just that nearly every year, some
of us foolish ones never profit by pnst
experience, but keep right on rushing
and hurrying and having a fnr better
time than our more forehanded and
provident sisters, whom a wise Provi
dence intended to be done with their
own preparations in order that they
may help us who are forever In ar
rears. I have always thought It would be
nice, just once, to be ready for Christ
mas, but until tin: days and nights
are longer, that prospect remains but.
a mirage, bilssfu 1 but Improbable,
like (ho vision of Scranton without
strike.-.
Is it a good tiling that we do not
perform whatever little kind acts which
come In our ways, for (lie thanks
that wo iiiuv teceive. Sometimes we
should bo dn ad fully disappointed.
Sometimes we should bo terrlblv dis
couraged. If every small gracious
deed, every nanow diversion from a
beaten track in order to lend a helplnp
hand to somebody weary, every gift
of plcnsiut words mid happy smiles
were to be reckoned up at so much u
j aid or so much a quart as we measure
merchandise, what a very tin some
world it would be. How tiresome those
poople are who insist that the majority
of mankind docs nil good deeds with the
expectation of a return In kind on a
louvf s-mul-llshc-s basis!
If there is anything hi the world ut
terly exasperating it is, when you are
feeling particularly happy over sotno
thing pleasant which has been said to
you or done for you, to have somebody
near nt hand who lemarks In a pes
simistic tone, "Oil, she w suits you to
do something for her," or "He is work
ing for a favor."

him a Christmas present for that kind
