RECEPTION AND DANtiE.Wr a„,j Mr*. M*r* Entertain for

Mr. and Mr. Sheildon.

It Is not often possible to achieve

an entertainment as complete in charm

of society, beauty of surrounding and

artistic detail as the reception and

dance in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Rob-,: , pitch Shedden of Atlanta givenlast evening by Mr. and Mrs. C. F.

loses. The plan of the rooms wasbeautifully adapted to such an affair,

the long hall with its inviting glimpse

of co i c,r and light, the drawing room

opening into each other through broad

givhed entrances and leading to the

dining room and cosy sitting room be-

vond. Doorways and windows were

'garlanded with smilax, and the same, ;£ul vine was cleverly arranged

l 0 form a frieze, which-gave a pretty

f(f , t against the warm hue of the

trails.The circular drawing room, with its

deep iose coloring, was enclosed by

large palms and the mantels were filled

,j t h bright flowers and delicate ferns.Between the northern windows stood

,he receiving party, the lovely gowns

of the women showing to advantage..gainst the green background of palms.

With Mr. and Mrs. Moses were Mr.and Mrs. Shedden, and Mrs. Henry

Cohort. Mrs. Moses wore an exquisiteprincess gown of point applique overtihito taffeta, the skirt finished with

a soft fall of accordeon pleated chiffon.Vijijot orchids at the shoulder gave

a pretty suggestion of color to the cor-sage. Mrs. Moses carried AmericanBeauty roses. Mrs. Shedden was very(harming in pale blue brocaded satin,with rose point lace and white chiffon,relieved by a touch of dahlia velvet.Two handsome sapphire broochesclasped the lace bertha at the corsage,and a sash of white chiffon fell to theedge of the graceful skirt.

Mrs. i ohen’s beautiful gown was ofwhite silver spangled net over whitechiffon and taffeta, with bertha ofpoint applique.

! T nder a drapery of smilax one passedinto the smaller drawing' room, whichshowed the same scheme of decoration,the long French windows half hiddenbehind palms, and upon the mantel ex-quisite pink blossoms among the ferns.

In the dining room the color changed,the deeper pink of American Beautyroses in vivid contrast to the richgreen of the walls. The round tablewas covered with a lovely piece ofRenaissance lace over the snowy dam-ask. and in its center stood a silvertray holding a tall cutglass vase ofAmerican Beauties. Fastened over-head with a soft loop fell broad rose-i olored ribbons which were caughtinto graceful bows at the edge of thetable, and rose-shaded light from aboveand from the candles In silver candela-bra fell over all.

Beyond was the comfortable littlesifting room, sweet Vlfh' flAwers, andmost attractive with easy chairs anddivan where one might sit for a quietmoment's chat away from the generalgayety.

The rooms upstairs had been setaparr for dancing, and were moresimple, but not less charming in dec-oration. Flowers and maidontiairferns were massed upon the mantelsunrt in the southern room with it3be If and blue walls, only ferns wereused, which was a novel and pretty

COMING FASHIONS.The fashions for the coming season

will be Directoire, but rather more Inthe Tanagra feeling, says LondonTruth. The corset that makes a longfine waist will be worse than useless.Skirts are to contrast with those ofthe bell shape actually worn, and willfall in straight, close folds. Sandalsare talked of as more in harmony withclassical dress than shoes. The pres-ent Japanese mode of dressing the hairis doomed. One already sees ban-deaux ala Grecque. Imitations ofChina crape will be in great favor forgowns. As the Olympian goddessesdid not wear hats or bonnets the In-ventive faculty of the milliners willbe severely taxed to invent things suit-able to classically dressed ladles. Theladies of the Directory boldly adoptedcoal-scuttle bonnets and turbans.

to the finest possible specimen of cardboard, celluloid and anaemic verse.

This change in popular taste hasbeen growing for years, and is now' sostrongly developed and recognized thatboth candy-dealers and floriats makespecial preparations for the day. anddo a decidedly increased business.

There is another feature of the daythat must not he overlooked, however,and that is the supply ofethe so-calledcomic, valenties. These are strictlyup-to-date, in their subjects at least,and also in the wide range of them,but instead of persenting caricatures,they show caricature run mad. whiletheir verses are, if possible, a trifleworse than the pictures.

The small boy, the chief buyer oftheir, is, however, not an art critic,nor is he scanning his strong point: so,as long as the valentine Is labelled tosuit his fancy, he buys it and inflictsit on his enemy for the time being,oftener than not delivering it himselfand thereby taking chances on a verywarm reception if he be caught play-ing postman. The line of comics thisyear Is quite as large as ever and, ifpossible, more than usually hideous.,

THE CAPITAL SALARY TRUST.A WEm.-OltG ANIXBD BODY AT

WASHINGTON.

President Roosevelt Will Find Hie- Stove for Its Suppression n Very

Dl then It One—All Clnsses of Em-ployes Heuularly nnd Cheerfullyi*ny Assessments to Hire Attor-neys null l.oltliylsts to took Ontfor Tlieir Interests—GovernmentPrinters Sold to Have Paid nn Ex-t'onKresHinun 923,1NK> When They

Secured Their Increase.Washington. Feb. s.—President

Roosevelt cannot expect much assist-ance from Congress In his crusadeagainst “salary grabbers” and thoein the public service, who indignantlyresent his recent order prohibiting theuse of influence in behalf of a generalor a special Increase In salaries. Itwill require all the courage of hisstrenuous nature ro check and weed outa practice which has been fostered Inthe public service,, almost since thefoundation of the government.

As sweeping as was the recent ex-ecutive order of the President againstwhat might be termed “ a salary grab-bing- trust,” which permeates everybranch of the Federal service, it is notregarded seriously by many of the per-sons at whom the Presidential decreewas aimed. The much talked of sur-plus in the Treasury has made almostevery official of high or low degree amember of the trust.

The trouble which confronts the Pres-ident in his effort to suppress the “sal-ary grabbing" fever which is ragingso furiously throughout the public ser-vice, is that some of the most malig-nant cases exist among the law makersin Congress. Way down under thesurface a majority of the members ofthe Hou*e and Renate sincerely be-lieve they are-entitled to more paythan they now receive. Hut few ofthem have the courage to admit it pub-licly, but they do not heettate to de-clare it privately. They grow timidwhen they recall the fate of the “sal-ary” grabbers in a previous Congress.

There Is a great deal of maudlin sen-timent wasted over the poorly paid em-ploye* of the government. A* a matterfact those who render the most diffi-cult service and endure the greatesthardships, are as a rule, the poorestpaid. There are many heart-rendingInstances which might be citgd In be-half of soldiers’ widows and other over-worked and insufflcienUy paid em-ployes of the government, but thatclass can hardly be included in the Sal-ary Grabbing Trust.

The Distinctive Value NiJIf 1

of Syrup of Figs is due to its pleasant form and perfect freedom from everyobjectionable quality or substance and to the fact that it acts gently and trulyas a laxative,without in any way disturbing the natural functions. Therequisite knowledge of what a laxative should be and of the best means for itsproduction enable the California Fig Syrup Cos. to supply the general demandfor a laxative, simple and wholesome in its nature and truly beneficial in itseffects; a laxative which acts pleasantly and leaves the internal organs in anaturally healthy condition and which does not weaken them.

To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that themedicinal agents used should be of the best quality and ofknown value and Syrupof Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does notweaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con-dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits. Among its manyexcellent qualities may be mentioned its perfect safety, in all cases requiring alaxative, even for the babe, or its mother, the maiden, or the wife, the invalid,or the robust man.

Syrup of Figs ia well known to be a combination of the laxative principlesof plants, which act most beneficially, with pleasant aromatic liquids and thejuice of figs, agreeable and refreshing to the taste and acceptable to the system,when its gentle cleansing is desired. The quality of Syrup of Figs is due notonly to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method ofmanufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it istherefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to notethe full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—primed on the frontofevery package.
