If the hostess wishes and It Is practical, the guests may be asked to coine In costumes of paper. The girls can achieve most charming toilets by purchasing for a trifle the last year's patterns from a modiste or a pattern maker. The men will probably have to content themselves with neckties of paper, and a huge boutorlere. and window draperies made from strips of crepe paper are astonishingly pretty, especially In pink and white. To make the decorations still more "papery" quantities of Japanese lanterns, parasols and fans may be used. For amusement a game could be concocted from the "flags of all nations" which are of paper and come In an envelope for the Bum of ten cents.

An association has been formed for the purpose of supplying, under certain conditions, spectacles to children In London elementary schools. The education committee of the London county council has been revising the list of prize books given to pupils. Among the books struck out as "not quite suitable for children to read" are fVaulty Fair," "Dombey and Son, and "Great 'Pendennls Expectations." The recent convention of learned men at Berlin has advised the government to establish two kinds of lyce-urfor girls, one of eight years, corresponding to a high school In this country, and another with a supple-mentarcouise of four years, preparatory to the university. Joseph C. Graveur has been schoolmaster In the Tombs prison, New York city, tor seven years. Ills pupils are the young men and boys awaiting trial for various offenses. Mr. Graveur hat exerted an Influence for good upon thousands of boys. There is not suer another school In the world. Th schoolmaster lets the boys ask hint whatever they want to know. There ty no set form of study. One questlot leads to another, and the Tombs schoo takes more the form of a general In formation bureau than anything else. wifets jrnu THE Gntl Him Lesson, Bat th It Cured Hubby 0f? las Out Lata Ar 5 Mr. in New York-Sense- less Bryans Standing Extravagance The "Seventies the "Sportiest Proposition To-Da- y.

Two senatorial fights near New York are Interesting. In New Jersey George Record has challenged Dryden to a Joint debate which Dryden refuses. Dryden Is no orator; In fact has no Intellectual gift beyond that of making money by arts most men would scorn. He Is the head, though only the figurehead now behind which the Wards, McCarters and others work, of that sinister combination of the Prudential Insurance company, the Public Service Corporation and the trust companies of the state, which has kited and watered stocks so recklessly on money paid in at five and ten cents a week on Industrial policies. Record is a mere politician, they say, and there Is no doubt of It; but he Is clever and has been the jSiht hand man of Mayor Fagan, of Jersey City, the quiet, modest little man who has made such a splendid record, if not Record. Both are Republicans. Record Is the popular candidate. Dryden is the candidate of the grafters, and they are nowhere more numerous than In New Jersey. Everett Colby, the young reformer of Orange, Is for Record. MaJ. Lentz, whom Colby knocked off the political dock, but who emerged ffoatlng with the aid of a state tax commlsslon-ershl- p life preserver, will hold sponge and towel for Dryden, along with other unquestioned talent.
