Miss Grace Toffey. Miss Jessie Per Lee
and Miss May Shafer-these constitute
the membership list. "What do we doT'
conversation with the writer the other
day. "Why, we meet at each others
houses every three weeks, aud we talk
and have our luncheon, and after that we
talk. and if any girl can play. she plays,
and ii any girl can sing or reclte, why she
sings or recites, and then we talk, and
about five O'Clock we go home, aud we
always have lovely time"
And whenever the Luncheon Club
chooses to invite the outside world TO
social function the guests always have
lovely time, too. So said the young folks
who attended the reception given month
or so at the residence of Miss Williams.
and so said the tnrice-blessed youths who
were invited to the Leap Year Party that
they held last week at the residence Of
Miss Apgar.
THE IvANHoES.
There is a brisk young society IL. our
midst called the Ivanhoe Luncheon Club.
which is perfect rose garden, so sweetly
does it bloom with "buds." If fail to
say that the mem bers are all pretty 1t is
because anyone with eyes can see it; II L
omit the statement that they are charm
ing, it is because their actions speak
louder than any words, and if am silent
as to their cookery. it is because on some
subjects words fail. The members Of
this model club are Miss Mary Muirhead,
Miss Nay Cropsey, Miss Hattie Bidwell.
Miss Louise Bidwell, Miss Nellie Reid,
Miss Giula jackson and Miss Emelie
Schroeder.
Some weeks ago luncheon club,
known as the I'm and Out Club" was or
Qanized among dwellers on the Heights.
Under the rules of this Association, the
members in turn invite the club to lun-
cheon every two weeks. 1t Is rumored
that after Easter the club will give
dance, time and place not yet decided.
Among the members are Mrs. z. Il.
Meyers, Mrs. Reed, Miss Taylor, Misses
Collerd, Miss Mallory, Miss klumpp and
Miss Coffin.

SCOTCH PRESBYTERIANS.

A Social Session at the Church on Mer-
Ger Street.
A social was held in the basement of
the Scotch Presbyterian Church last even
ing. during which interesting addresses
upon the subject of social phases of
church work were made by the Rev. DIR.
Mitchell, the Rev. Mr.. McMinn, of the
Summit Avenue Baptist Church. and the
Rev. DIR. Charles w. Shaw. of Paterson.
The affair. was in charge OF the ladies of
the church, and was enjoyed by the large
party present. An excellent supper was
served. Holden's orchestra was in at
tendance and played number of pretty
airs. Dr. Shaw said when he was boy
violin playing in church was considered
something awful. He believed Git could
be used in the praise of God as we'll as
anything else. He believed in music and
laughter. His own face was too long and
he could only shorten it by laughing.
DR.. Mitchell said church without
sociability among its members was dead.

Malice That overreaches Itself.

Mat1Cc InaD oVeFfedCuSS AtSCiA.
The Herald passes all bounds of de-
cency this morning in its attack on
the leading citizens of Jersey City.
1t speaks of the gentlemen who
signed the open letter to Allan L. Nc
Dermott as "alleged decent Demo
crats," and again it describes them as
"unimportant, morally, socially or
politically, and belonging to the
grand army of nincompoops who
wou Id write letter of recommends
tion for the devil if they were asked. !"
This is an insult to the very best
citizens of Jersey City, which it is.
the duty of all our people to resent
To Jersey citizens the names appen-
ded to the letter are synonyms for un-
Improbable character and solid stand
ing. They represent directly or in
directly the great financial interests
and the best business enterprise and
ability of the city. 1t is an insult to
the city at large and to every resident
to assail them with the coarse and bru-
tai expressions quoted above.
And what is it all for9
Simply to crafty the defeated mall
ice of the stockholders of the on
mouth Park race track because they
cannot get the Legislature to give
them monopolistic gambling privil-
ege.
If the Herald had any particle of in
fuence left in Hudson County, this
crowning outrage would annihilate it.
1t is case of malice that defeats its
own purpose by passing the limits of
plausibility and decency.

No Opposition Now.

There is now no vestige of opposi
ton to Allan l.. McDermott's nomina-
tion. Justice Davis has to all intents
and purposes fallen into line. He
says if there is the remotest chance OF
nominating Orestes Cleveland, he will
jump In and fight for him. That is.
of course, a mere complimentar y
speech. Mr.. Davis knows better than
anyone else that it wauld be about as
easy to reviAify the mummy of the
late Thothmes II, of Egypt, as to gal
vanize the Mayor into new life as a
candidate. But if Cleveland cannot
be named, Mr.. Davis promises loyal
support to Mr.. McDermott, who he
frankly acknowledges is the choice of
the overwhelming mass of the Dem
ocracy.
All the indications are that Colonel
Wanser, the chronic candidate of the
Republican party, will be forced to
accept the nomination of his party.
We are sorry for the Colonel. He is
an honest man and capable business
man. If he had not the misfortune OF
being Republican, we might say he
would make a good average Mayor.
But the Colonel's candidacy, besides
being hopeless absurdity on political
grounds, offers no attraction to the
voters. The hungry horde of office
seekers would very soon render it i'm
possible for man of Colonel Wan
ser's amiable disposition and pliable
nature to give Jersey City any sort of
good government. The doings of old
ring days would be renewed, and the
city would soon be bankrupted under
load of debt.
What Jersey City wants is a candi-
date of great skill and experience in
public business, and of infiexible reso-
luton in carrying out his ideas of
right. Mr.. McDermott combines these
qualities in a higher degree than any
candidate who has been mentioned for
the Office on either side, and on the
strength of these the people will give
him their support.
