Moore-Livingston Co.,a?drrr.Lansilowne, Pa. 



of the Hub and the manager of the 

 hotel were enlisted in a secret with 

 the following program to be carried 

 out. 



The dinner table was covered with 

 damp and musty linen, napkins to 

 match, and furnished with rusty 

 knives and forks, chipped 'lina of 

 many and ancient patterns, mouldy 

 confections and partly decomposed 

 fruit, etc., etc. 



A wire frame in the form of a 

 mound, the convex side being covered 

 with the most dismal of dark tulips 

 and other overripe flowers of equal 

 darkness, with no light colored blos- 

 soms to brighten the object, operated 

 as a cover for a centerpiece. The 

 whole thing was violently hurtful to 

 the sight, but it answered the purpose. 



In due time the ladies were ushered 

 into the dining room where they were 

 confronted with this wondrous piece 

 of w-ork and welcomed by their host, 

 who, by the way, attempted an apol- 

 ogy, the ladies in the meantime show- 

 ing signs of having been humiliated, 

 in fact were about to retire from the 

 apartment when at a given signal 

 from the host a number of attendants 

 who had been concealed behind 

 screens, and drilled for the work, 

 sprang to the table and in the twink- 

 ling of an eye had every piece of 

 offensive matter removed and their 

 places filled with the establishment's 

 choicest china and silver. The mourn- 

 ful centerpiece remained in position, 

 however, until the finish of the repast, 

 when it was quietly lifted, revealing 

 most exquisite corsage bouquets for 

 the women. As a surprise the affair 

 was a success and referred to fre- 

 quently in after years, but most par- 

 ticularly on account of the impression 

 made at the start by an offensive dis- 

 play. 



It must be apparent to all that in 

 order to get before us an object offen- 

 sive to our sight it is necessary that 

 we purposely depart from nature's of- 

 ferings and adopt its antithesis. Fol- 

 low nature and its colorings will not 

 carry us away from the harmony it 

 so readily bestows. W. H. LONG. 



NEWS NOTES. 



New York, N. Y.— The branch store 

 of A. Le.Moult recently established in 

 the Bronx, is proving a decided attrac- 

 tion. Mr. LeMoult has recently moved 

 his main store to larger quarters at 

 202 Rowery. 



Detroit. — The inauguration of Mayor 

 Philip Breitmeyer on January 12 was 

 one of the most brilliant spectacles 

 seen in this city in a long time. The 

 floral display was unprecedented for 

 such an occasion. The new Mayor's 

 address has the right ring to it and 



the popular florists' candidate is 

 plainly starting in to make a record 

 creditable to himself and gratifying 

 to his myriad of friends.
