When the president receives, There's a pretty group of Eves On parade, u behind the line," Just' to stand and smile and shine; Not a blessed thing to do In the way of greeting you Not a handshake to bestow; Just a feature of the show. Vnen the president receives, Not a single soul believes He is glad to see you here" (If he were, it would be queer); It is just an awful bore, Standing by the blue room door, Hearing Bingham bawl the names Of inconsequential dames, Beaus frrtfrct with shoulder straps, Politicians crooks, perhaps. Then the president receives, Arms that should be clothed with sleeves, Nrcks that need the highest yoke, Tempts the looker-on to joke ; Men wear ties-in reds and blues, Men appear in russet shoes Everything that's wrong in dress; It's a sorry, mixed-up mess ; I have even seen, by chance, Mary Talker in her pants. Then the president receives. In a crowd that shoves and heaves, He is stared at by a mob That knows how to do the job ; And hk lady and her gown Are the targets of the down. No one ever manifests That he knows the other "guests," But he doesn't seem to care, So he has a chance to stare. hen the president receives, You might think hk guests were thieves, For the "cops "are there to see No one carves the tapes'ry, Lifts the chairs or swipes the flowers; So kg.esfer-heursaad hours, - And the president shakes hands, Aad there's musk by the bands, And the mob k put to rout Only when the Ughfe go out 1 An Echo of the Transvaal. Chappie My deah boy, what is the mattah? . Cholly Just went out and got into a row, to as to getjicked. Chappie-Why"did 'you want to do that? Cholly Because it is so English just now to get licked.

Eight thousand manuscripts were ie ceived by the Ladies' Home Journal during the year just closed. Each waB given a careful reading, but out of the entire number only eighty were found worthy of publication. The manuscript bureau of the Ladies' Home Journal Is Operated at a large -xpense, but the hope of discovering new writers or some aspirants with undeveloped talent war rants the outlay. It can be seen that the articles secured by such a careful winnowing process brings thn cost of each up to and above the remuneration paid our beet writers. These facts bring refutation to the oft-repeated, but. none the lese.errone cub, assertion that only well known writers of established literary reputa tion are able to find a place for their work in the magazines. Exactly the contrary is true. The Ladies' Home Journal, through the manuscripts con sidered, has discovered three or four new writers of excellent merit and great promise, and this "find" its editor re gards as fully warranting the large out ay of maintaining an expensive bureau for reading all the manuscripts submitted. The February number of McCall'e Magazine (The Queen of Fashion) is just at band, containing two beautiful, full-page color plates and illustrations of more than one hundred exquisite fashion designs of seasonable styles in cluding ladies', misses', children's and infants' wear. The best of all children's magazines. "London Spectator St. NKp)LiS : For YOUNG FOLKS. A Monthly Magazine Edited by Mary Mapes Dodge. rAn MAA A Splendid Program of Art, Literature Fun.
