The elegant private parlor on the second floor was given over to the festive scene and certainly the surroundings were benefitting the occasion. The National Reserve association had an elegant ball and banquet Friday night in the building adjoining Lundberg's cafe that was largely attended. The pleasures of the evening were continued long past the midnight hour and all report having had a most excellent time.

Nice Fix of a Young Man Who Used Ilia Old I.atch Key to Look t'p a Friend. The bestowal of a latchkey is a sacred trust not always appreciated by tenants. It is the commonest thing- in the world for a boarder to walk off with his door key, thus retaining to himself the power to enter a former dwelling- at any hour of the day or night as he pleases. Of course, very few tenants hold on to their keys with any such possibility in view, but for the safety of herself and future tenants the landlady should be more particular will certainly be pleased to welcome the home coming of Miss Maud Bremond and her brother, Mr. Pierre Bremond.

A few nights ago a young man arrived from the west about eleven p.m., and promptly betook himself to look up an old friend, whose room his own. had adjoined in a house on Forty-eighth street.

The house was closed up for the night, 6o the young man took out his erstwhile latchkey, and letting himself mounted to his, chum's room. He was out, the gas was lowered, and without waiting to turn it up the traveler stretched himself on the sofa to wait, and in doing 60 fell asleep. When he awoke it was to find himself face to face with the basilisk stare of a strange man, and with a revolver. The room had changed tenants, that was pretty plain, but it wasn't equally plain how he was to make clear that he was neither a burglar nor an assassin. "If you'll lay down that thing," he said, after a hurried explanation to the man with the revolver, "I'll call up the landlady and prove my case." Supply Soma Things Which thu KeaerY Chest Should Contain.

There is a theory in the minds of 6ome badly informed housewives that it is a mark of vulgarity to have "best" things. They say proudly, and quite rightly, for that matter, that nothing is too good for their own people. They The Commercial Advertiser fays: Women are born misers, even the most lavish and generous among them. They hoard apparently for the mere sake of hoarding. They save empty spools and scraps of lining, bits of feather, small useless odds and ends of velvet and ribbon.

Their scrap bags and sewing bask-es reveal the instinct in its commonest form. The collection craze shows it at a higher point. From the time when, as little girls, they go about with strings of buttons to the day when as old ladies they leave their collections of bric-a-brac to some art museum, they are everlastlingly collecting. The original ones collect with a certain degree of discrimination and judgment. The others collect whatever they hear it is proper to collect from souvenir spoons to handkerchiefs.

Sen- timental young persons collect pebbles, mosses, twigs, keep old flowers, worn-out veils, discarded gloves and the like, as reminders of romantic espisodes. This is harmeless enough, as it costs very little and does not really burden the mind with memories any longer than the mind would be burdened any way. But once the collection craze passes this harmless stase it becomes pernicious. The woman who makes a fetich of lace and collects them.is laying up for herself a store of wrinkles and unhappiness. She will worry about the genuineness of the lace she buys; she will worry over the yellowing influence of time, the tearing of careless cleaners the possibility of fires and theives.

The woman whose one idea of all her travels is to get a souvenir spoon or a souvenir cup loses the joy of traveling, increases the difficulty of packing and frequently herself with things valueless in themselves and not long valuable as momentos. The collection fad is one to be decried vigorously. It develops a misery spirit. It adds burdens to life. It seldom, except in the case of those collecting geniuses who are the exceptions proving the rule, adds anything of particular value to one's possessions.

The only good thing to be said for it it that it occupies the feminine mind. Cards have been issued by Mrs. L. T. Rector, in honor of her daughter, Miss Rector, announcing a cotiliou for Tuesday evening, at the Driskill hotel.

The elaborate preparations that have been made for this entertainment and the elegant surroundings that will encompass it gives every indication of one of the most prominent social affairs of this or past seasons. Being the formal introduction to Austin society of one of this season's most charming and beautiful debutants, it is needless to say that soci--ety will assemble en masse upon this occasion. seem to imagine, illogically, that this absolves them from the necessity of i having good things for their guests. Nevertheless, it is not true that a warm liking for one's own household is in- compatible with keeping a certuin set i of sheets, pillow cases and towels for captured the consolation. The Pathfinders club was called to order by Mrs.

King, the vice president, the president being absent. The program was carried through with promptness, with the exception of a reading by Miss Peel. The program for next Saturday is as follows: Last half of Book VI of Paradise Lost. Sketch of the life of Charles I's Wife, by Mrs. I.

V. Davis. The following questions: Questions in English history-First Who was the first king crowned in Westminister Abbey? Second What king caused the Doomsday book to be written, and why Third Who compelled the clergy of England to live in celibacy? Fourth The reign of what king produced the first great English philosopher? Fifth What king issued the first charter to the English people? Sixth During whose reign was parliament divided into an upper and lower house Miscellaneous questions First When was "John Bull" first used to designate the English nation?

P. Maloney and Mrs. McCall. Thursday was one of great pleasure at the state lunatic asylum, through the proffered kindness of Miss T. Juliet Odoin and Miss Waldine Zimpelman.

Dr. and Mrs. White entertained most admirably a few friend inmates of the asylum. The stage, in the dance hall was tastefully decorated with rare plants and beautifully staged with scenery painted by Mrs. White's own deft lingers, which would demand from an artist's eye more than passing notice.

The order of the program and the finished work of both artists was fully appreciated by all present. The sweet ballads rendered by Miss Odoni and the soul inspiring Dixie with variations by Miss Zimpelman were a source of great pleasure to everyone present. L. Barbin De Seville, by Miss Odom gave field for the further display of her most excellent voice. "Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater.

Had a wife and couldn't keep her. He put her in a pumpkin shell, And there he kept her very well." Mr. and Mrs. Feter are the modest young couple who marry and go to boarding. Peter is devoted to business good, simple-minded man, and Mrs.

Peter falls into the habit of women who spend their lives in ab oardinghouse. She does a little fancy work and reads a few novels. She dresses four times a day and goes to matinees. She has nothing on the world to do, and the boarding house is filled with other women who have nothing to do, too. Mrs.

Peter falls to gossiping. Peter, being out in the world all day, hears so much gossip that he cares for no more, and declares he hates gossip, a masculine proposition just about as true as the other one about masculine lack of variety. And Mrs. Peter, having nothing to do, meets young men and fills her time with the occupation of a woman whose hands and mind are empty she flirts. Peter neglects her, good soul that he is, and well, matters go on till Peter's jealousy blazes up.

There are miserable bickerings. Mrs. Peter is restless. There is actually talk of a divorce, when some friend advises the pumpkin shell. Peter gets a home, puts Mrs.

Peter in it, devotes himself to her, gives her the care of housekeeping to occupy her mind and Mrs. Peter settles down to a happy, hundrum life, content with Peter and the pumpkin shell. Philadelphia Times. The gentlemen's "13" club met nt the Hotel Salge Friday night and enjoyed the second banquet since the organization of the club. The club made a most happy selection when they chose the Hotel Salge, for Billy Salge, the efficient and popular manager, certainly covered himself with glory in the efficient manner in which he served the elegant dinner.

From the opening to the close of the banquet various wines flowed like water, and with each succeeding hour the enjoyment of the occasion grew in proportion. The banquet started promptly at 8:30 o'clock and it was after 11 before the last guest arose from the table. The enjoyment of the occasion in addition to the constantly flowing wines was in the discussion of the following exceutly arranged and served menu: THE MENU. Blue Points. Consomme Royal.

Fillet of Trout, Vin Blanc. Potatoes, Royal Ribbon. Olives. Celery. Sweet Breads.

During the course of the banquet the arrangement committee decided that the following toasts should be responded to but through a fit of absent-mindness they dubbed them "Jaglets" and let them go at that The following is a list of JAGLETS.

J. M. Peacock, corner Twenty-eighth and Nueces streets, Tuesday night, was a most successful affair. The reception was for the purpose of establishing a social acquaintanceship between the members of the Freshman class. The host and hostess left nothing undone to make the event a perfect success.

During the evening musical selections were given, among them a violin solo by Miss Lu Emma Raymond. Dr. Rake-straw gave a recitation which, being most excellently rendered, was highly appreciated. After the program refreshments were served.

Every woman of housewifely instincts has a natural desire to keep as large a supply as possible of spare linen, and it is only common sense to want to save that which, is most worth saving. So that a supply of "best" linen does not necessarily imply that the family's usual supply is poor.

The "best" sheets and pillow-cases should be of linen. Linen is delicious-ly smooth to lie upon. It is pleasanter also to the sight than cotton. One may buy linen sheeting by the yard and With man and revolver in pursuit he did find the landlady's door, only to be confronted by a strange woman, who immediately went into hysterics. Then every other woman in the house raised her voice in hysterics, and more men with revolvers gathered in the passageways, until things began to look pretty blue for the young man.

At last the final man, armed to the teeth, joined the boarders, and as he did so the poor excited traveler gave a cry of relief. "Put down your firearms," called the last comer, "and stop your shrieks. You were looking for Dick, weren't you? He's gone to Europe. The whole house here has changed hands.

This quality is Seldom in the history of Austin society has such unbounded pleasure been attendant upon any cotilion as marked the one of last Wednesday evening, given by the young men of the city to their lady friends. Extra preparations had made for the occasion, being as it was recognized as the opening one of the winter season, and nothing that might add to its pleasures was missing.

The attendance was also unnsually large and the new and beautiful figures introduced were decidedly the prettiest of the season. Mr. Zick Melasky and Miss Bessie Rector occupied the difficult position of leaders, but the artistic manner in which they executed the task imposed upon them served to lend additional grace to the occasion. Upon the approach of the midnight hour light refreshments were served, which gave an additional zeal to the merry dancers. Mrs.

Dr. Smith and Mrs. Carl Drake presided most gracefully over the punch bowls and lent not a little interest to the pleasures thereof. Dancing was continued upon the conclusion of the refreshments until a late hour and the german may fittingly be dubbed as the most pleasant of many seasons. The following were present: Misses Georgia Sampson, Fanny Goggan, Jesse Fisher, Rosine Maillott, Maud Patrick, Katie Brown, Sherman; Nita Withers, San Antonio; Mamie Maloney, Bessie Beal, May Winnie Anderson, Irene Palm, Bessie Rector, Dot Withers, Maggie Myrick, Louise Ilamby, Mamie North, Athalie North, Annie McKay, Waldine Zimpelman, Mamie Miller, Constance Cook, Verna Gorham, Carrie Meriwether, May McVay.

The contest over the "cards" was a very exciting and closely argued one and resulted in Miss Julia Iglehart and Mr. Will Berry-man carrying off first honors, while the consolation fell to the lot of Mrs. John Claybrook.

At an appropriate hour choice refreshments were served, which were greatly enjoyed. The Misses Edwards were unusually zealous in looking after the interests and pleasure of their guests and it is needless to say that the evening throughout was one of social pleasure. It is certainly pleasing to note the fact that our Austin ladies are banishing the big hats from the theater. In truth the reform has made such wonderful strides all over the country during the past week that there is not a shadow of doubt but that in a short time people will wonder if it was ever possible that any one could have been so thoughtless of the rights and comfort of their fellow man and woman as to wear such headgear at the theater. It has been noticed, particularly the last three or four nights at the different theaters, that small bonnets were almost universally worn, or else the headgear, whether it was great or small, was removed.

Here and there there is still a big hat seen in the audiences, says the Washington Star, but the inference is drawn that tbe creeds and professions and has been everything irom a political parson to a Tombs lawyer, is now preparing to go upon the stage.
