Miss Mar-garet Park was the successful one hav-ing spelled all. Tho prize was a Long-fellow Birthday Hook. Mr. De Witt Jennings was the booby. Two short scenes from Miles Standish were given by the members of the class. Mrs. W. 8. Morris recited from Longfellow's poems. Mr. Albert Taylor was the essayist of the evening and Miss Geneva Jennings sang the Bridge. Fery one spent such a delightful evening that they all wished Longfellow had a birth-day every week.

I used to know a little maid, A blossom fair, With eyes a laughing, brownish shade, With lips that seemed for klss made, And filler than an old brocade tier Bilken hair. Iter frowns and smiles she threw on all Like an expert; And though but ten years old. and small, A host of courtiers she could call. To hold her fan, her glove, or shawl The little Milt. I used to be her willing slave Ah, happy lot! Rhe scolded, did I misbehave; Then tiirtie-.- at once nn.l quite forgav , liucause xhe had some b'Htn to crave The cunning tot ! And we were Just as chummy then Ah rhums could be. Ofti n do I remember when Mie wished that i were only ten, HecaiiHe, she said, she hated men- - All men but me! Hut time passed by, and year by year We both have aired. She's now eighteen, or veiT near, A reigning belle, ralm and severe; Then, too, what makes it seem more queer, She is engaged- Sometimes I wonder If she thinks Of days when she Would sit In church and tip me winks. Ah, no! she's now a frozen sphinx; And she's engaged, the little minx Engaged to me Munsiy's Weekly. It is only necessary to state that the young man in question is the. possessor of a bright intellect, and be quickly embraced the situation, and we can fur-ther assert tho girl was in it.

The latest things in tho shape of dainty headgear for eveuing wear are little hoods of gauze and lace which are so light that they do not disarrange the most elaborate coiffure and are made warm enough by a lining of silk over which the gauze is draped. These hoods are made in all the dainty shades of the fashionable' colors, and some of them are studded with silver nail heads and are very elfective and becoming. t The Populttr Pa.ttme.

Those present were Misses Marshall, Conklin, McCornick, Agatha Conklin, Mr. and Mrs. Glcndenning. Mrs. Shoope, Messrs. Fabian, Meeehain, R. Glenilenning.W. Walker, Ives Cobb, II. McCornick and Dr. Meecham. The eveuing was tilled with pleasant rem-iniscences, Blue steel is to be much worn this season. On hats it is to be made into wings and bultertlies ami upon lace as spangles and embroideries. The Medici collar is still to bo worn this spring. It is a good friend, as it hides man' defects and will not soon be abandoned. There has been a change in ball dresses lately. What you had yester-day will not do tomorrow, and the general feature is that simplicity is the order of the day, but there is nothing as wo know full well so expensive as well dressed simplicity. Reonl Lenten Week, There has been even less going on this second week in lent than there was the lirst. The theater has been almost the only amusement, therefore it was fairly well patronized. The good east-ern troops generally come west during this season. A clergyman onco made a remark in a prominent pulpit here: "It only takes lifteen days west of the Rocky mountains to thoroughly de-moralize a person." But if it is con-sidered demoralizing for a person to go and hear good music some must be al-lowed to differ and feel that lent ean be kept and still allow the poor mortal the pleasure of hearing a fine opera. 8ftlaiar?andl Tarty.

The lirst gentleman's prize, a tablet and pen, was won by Charles Tiernan, while Robert Lewis took the gentleman's booby prize, which was a blotter. Pleasant Lenten Tea.

Took Her for Iiric-a-Itra- At a reception recently given by a well known citizen, a young society blood was earnestly engaged in a con-versation, and with his hands behind h:m was playing with what he sup-posed was a piece of bric-a-bra- c or the arm of a chair. But instead of that it suddenly moved, and he turned to find that ho had been rubbing the gloved arm of a lady, and moved up ns far as tho elbow. He is a nervous follow, and in the explanation that followed he said: "Pardon me, madam, but I thought it was a piece of The explanation amused her so greatly that she fell into a eon vulsion of iaughter, and the young man, continu-ing, and presumably referring to her funny-bone- , said: "Your sense of the humorous has re-lieved me of my extreme embarrass-ment.

The total number of students attending is 007,030. For the care of their destitute and orphan children there are 213 asylums, and there are at present 24,072 inmates. Lent. The present season calls to mind the fact that a considerable portion of the Christian world is now passing through its annual season of special attention to religious offices. F'or the space of forty days immediately preceding Easter Sunday, known as Lent, a more or less rigid abstinence from carnal in-digencies, public pleasures, and worldly pursuits is enjoined and a round of devotional duties prescribed, some of a public and others of a priv-ate nature. No thoughtful man ac-quainted with the slippery hold which moral and religious duties and sensi-bilities have upon ordinary human na-ture in this busy city will be likely to sneer at this usage, however much he m:ty regret that it does not better ac-complish its avowed object of with-drawing tho minds and hearts of men and women from frivolous and selfish pursuits.

The Young Men's Christian associa-tion of this city is attracting day and night a goodly number of young men to the comfortable rooms at No. 63 Second South street. There is at pres-ent a small army of young men in Salt Lake who have no place to pas-- i their time protitahly when unemployed. All men and boys nre cordially invited to tho rooms to enjoy the games and lit-erature. Secretary Murphy will give you a brotherly welcome if you only afford him an opportunity to do so.

The third annual convention of the Christian Endeavor I'nion of I'tah will occur in Ogdcn March 30 and 31. The opening session will be Monday even-ing, the exercises to conclude the fol-lowing evening. From Salt Lake to Ogden the members will probably loavfc in a special car at 4 40 and re-turning from the latter point at 8:43 The Ogden people are noted for their hospitality. Cnngrsgrational Social. The ladies of the Congregatianal so-ciety of this city will hold their social and reception in Hammond hall on the modern drift away from social con-ventionalities these venerable ecclesti-astica- l formalities appear to be in-creasing in popularity from year to year. Not long ago only the Catholic and I'diNcopal churches regarded the season of lent, but now nearly nil de-nominations engage iu some sort of special lentive services. Many thought-ful persons,-however- feel i'n their in-most hearts that there is a real dis-agreement and conflict between the claims of e or and of self-deni- or There are, as it were, two rival hopes of tho moral world, each claim-ing to be man's truest guide. The one says: "Do thyself no harm." The other says: "lie that keepeth bis life shall loose it." The result is that most men liinko a sort of compromise be-tween the two " and try to rerve both masters. Hnlibath Announcements.

The Leader of the Amorican Federation of Labor will ba in Salt Lake City on Njxt Tuesday TO ADDRESS A MASS MEETINO Of the Various Labor Organizations is This Oiy-- A Big Parade will ba a Feature of the Day. A warm welcome will be accord 06V. Mr. Samuel Gompers in Silt Lake City next Tuesday, lie is the president ot the American federation of labor and is exceedingly popular among the) breadwinners of the United State and! elsewhere. President Gompers will ad dress a grand mass meeting of. the or. ganized workingmen in this city on next Tuesday night. Ho has made thai, labor question an especial study and--j after years of thoughtful consideration, and practical application of the issue is all of its various phases, he is able tot speak dispassionately and understand ingly. There is something magnetic aboufc this man whether he lie on the platform"""""' or on the street. As a speaker his utter-ances are clean and foroible, and he says only that which does interest and concern the men whose daily toil mores the business of the country. President (iompers is, as may be supposed, s sympathizer of the great and grand army or men who have to fight againsd capital. He believes in honest pay, and! is an honest advocate of the eight hou system. samcel c.omvers. Mr. Gompers, together with the mass) of workingmen of this land, realize! that the labor sky is clouded, and the storm that is brewing will sweep this; fair country with such a force as will cause the barons to understand work-ingmen have rights that shall be ro. specled. He is no strifo-stire- r nor con. tention agitator but an advocate of faif play to the men who have to con tend against capital. He was ac-corded a grand reception in Den. ver last week, where by his ut. terances and movements he tnada scores of friends. One of the important features to occur during his brief so jouru in Salt Lake next week will be a big labor parade on Tuesday. Exten. sive preparations are being made to have tho demonstration a memorable) success and the committee in oharge ii doing all it possibly ean. New York city claims President Gom pers as one of her representative citi. zens. He is an FJnglishmau by birth, and is about forty years of age. Curly black hair covers his massive head which is full of brains and is set upon pair of square shoulders. Ha is a cigar maker by trade, and a member of a a dozen societies the Cigarmaker's union, the Delianee association, Amer. ican Federation of Labor, the Odd Fel. low's and Foresters among them. Like other great men President Gom pers possesses a hobby, that of pedes-trianis- He walks from his residenca in Y'orkville to his office in Clinton place and back again every day, a dis. tance of ten miles. As a result his health is excellent and his short, stout form is a stranger to illness. Indeed to see him step sprightly along one would imagine hiro a lively western hustler. Mr. Gompers was a member of the New Y ork world'i fair committee on site and buildings. He has refused commissionerships audi nominations for congress, tha senata and the assembly. He is a bosom friendj of that other prominent labor man's! friend, P. J. McGuire, the pet of the In brief, Mr. Gompers is a conservative man, frowns on all form of violence in labor conllicts. He 's welcome in Salt Lake city. TAKING THE COUNTY CENSUS. Alter Many Trials and Tribulation Work-I-lining I'UHhed by Aasor I.yorli. Assessor Lynch suffered many trials, tribulations and vexations of spirit be-fore he was able to inaugurate the work of taking tho census, as he was directed to do by tho statutes. But ho has eleven men employed collecting the statistics which may result in giving a complete epitome of interesting and valuable information. Nine of the men so employed are engaged in the city, and bavo already covered about one-thir- d of the ground. The remaining two are taking in tho outside precincts across the Jordan. It will consume nearly sixty days before, the work is fully completed, and until then no compilation of the results will be made. . . Commercial. Among the leadingdry goods and shoe houses in the city is the Western Shoe & Dry Goods Co., Hooper & Eldridge block. This tirm takes the lead by always studying the wants of their cus-tomers and keeping the best selected general stock and offering every few weeks special inducements to buyers. The leading feature for next week will be the closing out of their entire stock of gents' furnishings, to make room for spring millinery, together with job lots and remnant sale from every department forms an attractive card. You will get your money's worth. A liberal patronage is justly due them. |
