One of the most enjoyable
social events of the. season took

Grf& and Miss Elizabeth Chapin
gayo , niscellaneous shower at
the horz-s f Mrs. Griffin in honor
of Miss Elizabeth Milliken, whose
engagement to Mr. Fisher Make
peace of Sanford has been an
nounced. The guests were met
on the porch by Mrs. Arthur
London, where they were served
delicious punch vby Miss May
Griffin.' The hall, parlor and sit
ting room were beautifully deco
rated with yellow dalhias and
roses. Especially interesting was
the game "The Bride-to-be goes
a-shopping to buy her trusseau,"
in which all the guests took part;
by dividing themselves in such
groups as Paris, London," Dublin
and other shopping centers, to
each of which the bride-to-be,
Miss ; Milliken, armed with bas
ket, paid a visit in search of
wares which were bestowed upon
her without the price usually at
tached. When Miss Milliken sat
down to open her purchases she
was foutfd to have a most beauti-
fularid useful collection of gifts.
Delicious reiresnments were
served on the porch and the oc
casion was analtogether delight
ful one. '

SAFETY IN SETTING LADDERS
Only a tittle Thought ' Necessary
Determine Just What Is the. "
: ' Proper Angle.
When raising a ladder tor- sweep
off a cornice to hang a picfeurp, or
for any other purpose, one should
know at just what angle to plkn
it that it may be safest to him wlio
has. to. stand upon it - ".
A series of experiments described
in Safety News has demonstrated!
that the greatest degree of safety is
obtained by placing the ladder abo-sit
one-quarter its length from the walU,
This gives an, angle of - 75 degreesj
If the ladder be placed further "Sroma
the wall it is4ikeiy" to.slip, and the
weight of the workman may put too
great a strain upon it. If . it be
placed close to tha wail there is. the
possibility , of the weight of the work
man overbalancing it and making it
fall backward; besides, as he nears.
the top, his feet are, likely to have1
insufficient room, when projecting
between, the rungs. ,
Safety News points out also that
all ladders should have their feet
shod with points or rubber in order
that they may take-a sure grip ona.

REALISM IN OPERA.

Cleveland Plain Dealer. As a boy
Leoncavallo (whose death was re
corded some time ago) was present;
at a suburban theater in. Naples
when he saw a thrilling love' dramfe
enacted in real life' ( on the stage,,
while as in the opera, the , audience
applauded wildly what they thought
to be intense : realism. ' Leoncaval
lo's father's valet was the rival lovers
and was in the theater at the time..
The; actor sent for' him , and stabbecf ,
him behind the scenes. There was
a further personal link in the drama..
Leoncavallo's father was a judge,,
and it fell to his task to- try the ac
tor-murderer and to sentence him t
