THE JUST FOR FUN COOKING CLUB.

THURSDAY NIGHT.

THEIR FfET PARTY AT HARrMAS's HALL
THURSDAY NIGHT.
A few particulars concerning the party
and dance at Hartmans hall, given by the
Cooking, club, on Thursday night, will be
of general interest As was predicted, it
turned out to be brilliant success, in
every particular Between seventy-five and
hundred young people were present, all in
their happiest humor, each bent upon max
ing the occasion one OF unalloyed pleasure
to themselves and their friends.
The surroundings we're magnificent and
the various means OF enjoyment,
provided by the club, we're ample to satisfy
the cravings Of the most enthusiastic and
fastidious. The music was excellent, aud
was calculated to set every foot into an in
voluntary motion. One Of the
chief attractions was undoubted-
ly the refreshments, prepared
by the young ladies Of the club, aud served
by several Of the hsndsomest among them,
and the rapidity with which the numerous
dainties, etc, disappeared gave
ample proof Of the skill with
which they had bceu prepared.
None who took part in the festivities will
tail to recall them with pleasure, and long
for a repetition of the same programme at
regular intervals.
The reception committee was
Mcssrs. Eugene E. Ellis, George
M. Fry and Curran Rcdman,
who performed their arduous duties ad-
mrably. The floor managers were tour
gentlemen and four ladies, viz; Messrs.
Samuel Redman, G. Il. Rutfin, Geo M, Fry,
J. T. Farrs and Misses Molie Riley, Etlie
Close Eilic Coleman and Mamie Taylor.
The tables were placed in one corner,
spread with an elegant lunch and we're I'M

as agreeably as she talked. Letters wing

the city on the lake. Then came a propo
sition--not of marriage, but that the

gradually drew out of the field, and the son

Those Of our people, who attended the
High School entertainment, given by the
scholars of the High School room, yesterday
afternoon, were very agreeably entertained,
and have, no doubt, an exhalted opinion
OF those who took part IN the exercises
Some of the features were particularly fine :;
the musical renditions throughout were ex-
cellent; the literary selections showed con-
siderable taste, and the compositions gave
evidence of thought and the manner IN
which each pupil performed
his or her part was, considering everything,
good, and left but little room for criticism.

A Question Of Words.

Should we say and write "rallroad'
or railway" A road, the dictionary
informs us, is a place where one may
ride, an open way,a track for travel.
A way is generic thing (on the same
authority, denoting any line for pas
sage or convenience. A highway was
originally way raised above the level
for dryness, A road, says the diction-
airy, is strictly way for horses and
carriages. In this country, and, APP
parently, in England, Judging by "the
Kings highway"-the word "high''
has come to have the significance of
"open" and public" and when we
speak of being son the highway" we
mean on the public and common road.
But when we say Sin my way" very
rarely "road" in such sense), there
appears to be common recognition
of way" as the more generic word.
But in use without o compounding
word, "way" is rarely applied in the
same sense as ''road" thus, we do not
speak of walking or riding, "along the
way" we say fright of way" not
"road !" nor is "road' used except in
RAILROAD" which is the American
term, as railway" is the English. A
few roads-we do not say "ways'--
which have English ownership or
close connection, such as Erie and At
lantic and Great Western, are, oflici-
ally, railways, and this term is prob
ably making its sway" slowly. 1t
has, however, at least the comparative
disadvantage that, as yet, we are not
accustomed to "ways' as short for
railways, or to speak of the sway
bcd;' on the other hand sway has
an advantage in not being used to dcs-
ignate instruments of passage by or
binary vehicles. Some other English
terms are better than our own; for
example, "share" is better than
stock" the latter having several uses.
The English ''coach," on rails, was
obtained by transfer Of word as we'll
as article, but it is less expressive than
our car So "stoker," although corr
rect, is rather less idiomatic than
fireman." which is made by the same
process with which children turn the

man." The English "poin" is cer-
tainiy better than our ''switch," and
driver" which in this country is
short for the large wheel when used
in connection with locomotives, is
more exact than "enginecr," who is
not much more than an cngine.driver.

the designation of iron rails, and
