brought down the table by her historical
recollections of the infant club at its chris
tenins, which occurred simultaneously with
its birth Is or 10 years ago. She said:
The room was blue, the air was blue, the tea
was blue and late,
And as a seal of membership blue stockings
lay in state.
OF other poetry there was much suited to
the sentiment of all, as well as number of
witty, clever speeches, among which was
Mrs Fleishman's response to the toast of
''The Critic" Miss Armstrong, on ''The
Club" Mrs. Rosenbaum, "Our Characteris-
ties" "Mrs. Power "The Rose Fete;" Mrs
Schleuderberg, 'Club Sentiment" and the
speeches of Mrs. Winslow, Mrs. Graf, Mrs
kellogg, Miss Becker, Mrs Prentice and
Mrs. Mccullough. The absent were present
in the spirit of their kindly expressed mes
sages, and when an evening under the trees
with ices and berries such as the gods
provide, came to close, it was trium-
phantly termed an evening long to be
remembered, and one they all would long
to have repeated.
Saturday afternoon a week ago a number
OF little fellows, sympathizers with the
children orphaned by the recent disaster at
Oil City and Ttusville, held a fair in their
playhouse to which 8 cents admission was
charged. That this project called forth
favor is evidenced by the SIG 35 of receipts.
The little lads principally connected with
the fair were Masters Alfred and RAYMOND
kaufman, Albert Lehman and Milton NJ.
Klein, and the place of the enterprise was
the lawn of Mr.. j. Kaufman's house on
Irwin avenue.
If Mrs. Schenley's deed conveys the old
the American Revolution in terms which
forbid change of trustees even if the main
object that of giving enjoyment to the
public, be the better accomplished, of
course it would be impossible to transfer it
to the city as was suggested in these col
umns fortnight ago. Again, if the D. A.
R. is not corporate body, then it could
not hold such gilt without appoint
ing trustee, who, not individually
but representatively,r,, would , be re-
where could they better impose
trust than in the hands Of the city govern
ment Again, suppose the organization
should die, for sometimes an organization,
like mankind, goes back to the dust whence
it sprung. where then would be our Block
House and park? All this, however, is in
the realm OF speculation, from which the
clouds can be cleared away only BY Mrs
Schenley's intentions regarding the park at
the Point. IT gift to the organization and
its heirs, then the Block House is private
property with which the reci pient may do
as it sees fit. If held in trust for the people
it is only natural to suppose that the D. A.
r. desires to fulfill every wish expressed or
m dor l,o roft tha Iofo
veyance, even to the extent OF a transfer if
that transfer would rebound to the benefit
of the public
During the absence of Mr.. George Hetzel
and his family, who will spend the summer
in Europe, his pretty Edgewoodville home
has been taken possession of by Mrs. Susy
Wallace, of Lawrenceville. Mrs Wal
lace's temporary departure, which may
lengthen itself indefinitely, will be matter
of regret to the large circle of people who
are her friends In that part of town. Mrs
Wallace was one of the few women, in fact,
the one woman who could be depended
upon in an emergency when an organ was
left without player of a Sunday morning,
TOR, besides having fine musical taste, her
gifts had been most carefully cultivated,
and in the exercise of her talents she was
always most generous, even upon close
call. From music as an amusement of late
years it has become a practical pursuit with
Mrs. Wallace, and she is most capably full
filling the duties of organist in Wilkins
burg church at present.
