as elegant as the most skilled culi-
ner could furnish, or the dantiest
appetite demand.
Mr.. E. F. Kane, the enthusiastic
bicyclist, planned and caused to
materalize, a charming outing last
Tuesday. A party composed of Mr..
]. o. Hardin and Miss Ella Bennet,
John W. Stanfeld, Miss Jenny Sig
nor, E. F.. Kane, Ida Treher-chap-
erons, Mr.. and Mrs. 7. c. Whit
marsh. The party left the city on
the noon train for Boston, at which
point the bicycles we're called into
requisitiou for a spin of four and a
half miles, to ChalYbeate Springs.
The waters of these springs were
enjoyed, when ''homeward 60, was
the command. The party voiced
a day of unequaled pleasure. An
elegant supper was awaiting them
at the popular Huckins House.
After a lingering illness, Mrs.
Taylor, the mother of MesdameS j.
W. Talbot, Tyson and M. Dick Tay-
lor, pressed the golden key that
opens the palace of eternity, to
hereafter life, IN the presence of
God and angels. Though many
years had been permitted her, still
it was the agony that rends the
heart asunder, to see her 60 beyond
recall, and the voice that is so dear
" loved is hushed to us forever,
She has sunk into that sleep that
no pain shall wake, night that no
moon shall break, till JOY shall over
take her perfect calm. For those
left to mourn her death, there is
sweet comfort to know that mother
is in Paradise. "In that land where
beauty cannot fade, nor sorrow dim
the eye; where true love shall not
droop nor be dismayed, and none
shall ever die"
Every week it is our pleasure to
chronicle the delights of Spring
Lake park, The fun that has been
enjoyed by the expert bicycliSt, the
half way rider and alas alas! the
novice! The past few days num-
Der of recent attaches to this
much loved fad, have appeared
seemingly clothed in their right
niud, but soon they are as the lost
congressman where ain | at" In
the way of costumes, it would be
difficult for larger cities to display
more natty, becoming ones than
those that adorn our lady riders.
Mrs. Paul Jones was a symphony OF
grace as she swept past US with the
grace of swan. Mrs. L. A. Byrne
was the cynosure of all present, so
bewitChing did she appear in a cos
tune OF blue, and so entirely mis-
tress of the wheel that it appeared
as the embodiment of Cyclelsm,
Mrs. Boardman is numbered among
the experts, and never fails to illicit
great admiration from the lockers
on. In a short time Mesdames
Harry Taylor, j. B. LightfoCt, M,
Chaytor, 7. G. Whitmarsh, H. Cul-
lom, and Misses Ida Treher, Mae
Murphy, Belva Ki2er, Cornie Talbot,
will have passed from novices into
the expertness Of professionals.
Tuesday evening the old Federal
building laid away every suggestion
of the time when stern Justice held
sway, and in compliment to the low
ers of the teperisChorean art, threw
lights far out from every window,
Within, the bree2es laden with the
perfume of the surrounding gardens
famed the cheeks and kissed the
brow of beauty's daughters, making
her the queen Of the evening AS
this entertainment was the prelude
for the countless receptions, we'd

nature that will follow in quick sue

ladies were superlatively lovely in
full evening dress; the beau brum-

inspired, favoring the dancers
with many new pieces that evoked
much applause, Accepting this as
the key note of the winters pleas.
