Ilolden, editor of the Courier, Broken Bow, Oct. 25, 1880. The Clipper, Hutchinson, Gentlemen a copy of your clever little paper to-day and perused its pages with much pleasure! Was surprised to find a paper like The Clipper in this part of the country, and may success crown your every effort. We have some friends in Hutch inson and other live towns of Kansas who would be gratified to learn of ourp whereabouts and that Dame Fortune is smilling kindly upon us; is a brunette. She can give a "Rose Carnival" or a "Hose Conversation." The beautiful woodbines can be brought in and made to trail over every thing forming a back ground to the hundreds of delicious deep crimson roses which by the way can be natural, and paper, with a drop of perfume in the hearts and grouped so naturally with the real as to be beyond detection.

The lights, fruits, dancing programes or menue cards must all be of the same color and ribbon can come in to tie knots here and there to enhance the prevailing color. The mistress wears a gown of the same color with roses in her hair. At this time the golden rod and yellow ribbons make a perfect flower of a house and its black eyed mistress. The Heliotrope and purple Asters can be used by a bright golden haired girl arrayed in a sweet heliotrope robe made Josephine style with gleaming white shoulders and marred by no ornament save the fragrant flowers. The snow ball and scarlet berries come in for their share of attention, and in the "Apple Tea' and "Rose Tete-te-tetes" we find these novel arrangements are introducing color to these lunches, and festivities.

There is one thing that should be impressed upon all guests and that is promptness. If the invitation reads 5 write you. We are informed by mana-, gers that we are playing to largest business done in their houses this year, and are offered return dates everywhere. Playing a strictly legitimate repertoire. Leigh, Mr.

and Mrs. M. "Watson, Mr. Mrs. George Lytle, Mr.

and Mrs. J. S. George. A very quiet wedding took place at the residence of Mrs.

It is well to dress early and allow for the time to arrive at the house, then leave just so long before the hour, to be there justai 5 o'clock or eight. Some will dress, look at the clock, see it is time to go but deliberately sit down saying, "Pshaw, I don't to be so early." The same hint applies to girls who are never dressed when their best young man calls to go to the opera or anywhere. The matter of menu troubles a great many ladies just now each one wanting something new. In the matter of salads shrimp, lobster tomato, veal, mock crab, and chicken, each are very nice.
