There is little district Of Jersey City
which Is commonly known as Waverly,
and is just that portion south Of Rock
Ridge Church. 1t is a very pleasant part
OF the city, and many OF the residences
along Palisade avenue command a fine
view of the Hudson river. But it was
not the view that proved so pre-eminently
attractive to inquisitive stranger q few
days ago, for he did not notice 1t at all,
although he did note the air Of exclusive
ness and seclusion that seemed to per-

student Of physical culture, and the course
she has recently taken in that branch
has certainly made her walk very grace
fully. She is also very fond of society
and is one OF the lights of the Bergen
society circles, much to the chagrin OF
the Wayerly girls, who are justly Jealous,
deeming Wayerly society good enough
for any one, and SO it is
Another pretty girl who passed was
Miss Fannie Taussig, daughter of ex-
Mayor Taussio. aud she is a pretty bru-
nette of the most pronounced type.
Everybody likes Miss Taussig, and al
though she has spent great deal OF Time
in California recently she is quite u
popular in Waverly as ever
