Kmmfm $& mbI '.1 -A&l MMIW SUKAJNTOiV TltlBUNIS-HAXURDAY, JANUARY 4, 1902. Week's N lN'CO.Mt'Iil3TE lint of pres ents rqeolvcd by Sir. and Mrs. Wllllnm Connell, on tlio oc- ' fusion of tliclr noldcn wed diner, was printed In yester- iliiy's Tribune and by Tito Tribune fur nished In pi oof sllp.q to the Republican. It wan not Intended thut nnv list of presents should bo published, nnd Its publication resulted from a lnlsunder ntnndlng. Knill I'aur, with his New York Sym phony orchestra, will bo nt the new nrnibry, January 13, to kIvo the great est orchestra concert over heard In this city. It Is a satisfaction to note that our people arc taking a. vivid In terest In this musical event, not only on Its own account, but because of the fact that the Younjr 'Women's Chris tian association Is to receive the bene fit thereof. If thoro Is an. organization In this city which deserves the un qualified approval of the community It Is the one which urovldes a safe and attractive place where young glils may lunch at it nominal cost, may bo en terlulned for nothing and may enjoy the rest, the refining surroundings and the culture which are theie afforded. To continue the beneficent work needs more money. The association has not asked for help In a long time. This Is the occasion when Its friends sivc as sistance and at the same time receive n treat In the way of fine music. Our city Is becoming noted for Its musical taste. It Is willing to pay for good concerts, and tbeio Is everv prospect that Enill Paur's superb orchestra will have another big house to listen. Ills men are the New York profes sionals who have sometimes appeared as assistants at our locul orchestra concerts. On this occasion u gient at traction will be the beautiful singing of Miss Electa Gilford, whoso woik with the Boston Symphony orchestra at tracted so much uttentlon.

The Bachelors' ball of 1901 will long be remembered as one of the most pic turesque in the history of Seranton's social life. The accessories weie more elaborate than anything heretofore at tempted, and It almost seems that nothliig in the future can surpass many of these details. One of the fea tures which added much to the appear ance of luxury In a building which must naturally bo seveio In its in terior, was the great profusion of Ori ental rugs. Olio collection was worth at least $11,000, and was loaned for the occasion by Mlchaellan Bros. There were also many other elegant rugs, loaned by friends of the committee. The young people danced .until -I o'clock, and say that they had the most beautiful time of their lives. It is said that never befoie weie so many lovely gowns worn.

AVe do get married later in life and oftener than they did fifty years ago. The only way some of us will be able to cele brate a fiftieth anniversary of wedded bliss will be to count as did a certain lady a few years ago. She wanted to have a golden wedding, so sho had it. The husband to whom she had been married fifty years before had long been lying in his grave. So had her second, but she had a third husband, and while he really didn't belong to the celebration, she celebrated her golden wedding just the same. She had been married llfty yoais, and they had a beautiful time at the festivities. I don't believe the present collection of young married folk will, in the ma jority, ever celebrate their golden wed ding day. If they don't wear each other out in their anxiety to be up-to-date and lead the procession, and thus die before their lime, they will weur each other's patience out and want to try a change. There was a picture among tho golden wedding gifts the other night which held a sweet, yet pathetic in terest. It represented a vide, old fashioned fireplace, with the embei-s burning low and two aged people nod ding in their chairs on either side. The fragile old lady's head rested wearily against the chimney-piece, and some how tho tears almost rose to tho eyes as one gazed. But there will soon bo no old people like that unless, perhaps, far back In somo country homestead, away- fiom the busy life of the world. You won't be able to toll tho grand mothers from tho daughters, Nowadays there are few white-capped, whlte-ker-chlefed old ladles, They do their hair up in stunning pompadotus and frisk blithely off to balls and card parties. If the hair isa little gray.it is all the moro fashionable and enhances still further the fresh, pink cheeks beneath. They have no need for kerchiefs, for their neckn nre still plump unit white, und their granddnughteis never get a chance at their line old cobwebby laces, for they wear them all themselves, with garments of the latest style, The grandmother of tho oncoming years is a very canny and worldly Individual, and she doesn't propose to give up the good things of life und become an anti quated nursery maid, whose views are hcouted because she Is so old. Not n bit of it, Sho holds tho leins of gov ernment herself, nnd there Is n great deal of kow-towing among her rela tives before her shrine. Why, there nren't any old ladles any more, with spectacles and the Hlblo and their knitting work. They lead the newest novels, nnd their knitting Is In the way of art in needlework, und mostly", they disdain spectuclcs, unless III the shape of a Jewelled lorgnette. Not to say that they don't jead tho Tilble, for they do in French nnd other tongues, It keeps up their languages so well, you know, They don't grow decrepit, the&e pretty grandmothers. Soino day they gq away and never come back, und wo all look shocked and say, "Dear me, and she wasn't old, at all!" Hut some how it would be nice to sen a dear old fashioned grandma now and then, A housekeeper friend of mine writes her woes about the country fashion employed by the delivery people und many other kinds of people, who will persist in ringing the front door-bell, instead of going to tho bide or tho rear, as they should. 1 have written volum inously and feollugly on this subject before, and have ctuoted as i horrible example the baker gentleman, who de clares that If his bread Is not ood to take In by way of the front door It la too good to go byny of the kitchen. My lady nnyn: My Heir Smcy Hem! Why don't yon write about tio.vcottlinr ineclmnti who dellier nood .it tho front door.
