We're Jersey City women so poorly
educated in their youth, or have they
merely forgotten all they knew. or car
u De they are unusually intellectual and
crave wide knowledge, that it is 50
necessary to have SO many lecture
classes? Mrs. James W. Robottom has
formed a class for the study of English
literature, which will meet at her home
Monday mornings. MRS. Robottom will
teach the class. On alternate Monday
afternoons Miss Cecilia Gaines, Presi-
dent Of the Woman's Club, President
OF the Odd Volumes, and Vice President
Of the State Federation Of Woman,s
Clubs, lectures on Representative
Women in the Carteret Clubhouse.
Next Monday afternoon her subject will
be Women as Patriots. and Miss
Gaines will speak of Madame Roland
Madam De Lavelette and Charlotte Cor
day. The picture will be "In Prison.
Mrs. Horace Wait commenced this
class fever by organizing three years
ago her History Class" This meets
alternate Tuesdays in the chapel of the
Bergen Baptist Church and adjourns

gree is a secondary consideration.
Folly" has won. A short time ago Mrs.
Wait kindly entertained the children of
the Mission Sewing School with stere-
opticon views and at the close of the
lecture she threw upon the screen the
picture of the dog, Folly" What Mrs.
Wait said about her dog remains a
mystery. The children understood her
to say the dog was lost and to ask them
if they found him to bring him home to
her. The children spread the report and
Mrs. Wait received condolences from her
friends for the loss of her dog. Mrs.
Wait repeatedly denied that the dog a
ever been lost. and that she had ever
said so. Those who have tried to find
out the mystery have concluded that
Mrs. Wait must have asked the children
if the dog ever did get lost and they
should find him to bring him to her. 1t
is to be hoped that Mrs. Wait, as. a re-
suit of her request, will not be over
run with terriers which, unlike Folly
do not possess a pedigree.

Miss Mary Philbrook, who lectured be-
fore the Woman's Club and the Teach-
ers' Club on the legal status of woman.
appeared in court in H~ackensack to plead
a case for the first time, a few lays ago
and won it. This recalls the rumor
which was set a1oat at the time Miss
Philbrook was introduced to the bar.gby
Foster Voorhees,, a bachelor.
Jersey City has a number of eligible
bachelors among her lawyers. Mr.. Otto
Grouse, who spoke at the Bar Associa-
ton dinner last night, is a fair sample
of these eligibles. 1t has long been a
wonde to Jersey City fair mes why
Mr.. Grouse so long remains a bachelor.
Perhaps it is a matter of wonder to
Mr.. Grouse as well.
