| of the audience for half an hour before
he concluded it, two women who were
| seated in the middle aisle of Hasbrouck
Hall. about eight rows from the rear
| rose and went out. Two minutes later
| they were ollowed by two or three more,
and from that time until Mr.. CRAWFORD,
| after watching the walking congregation
for some time, stopped abruptly with an
apology for w%earying the audience, there
was a constant stream of people leaving
the han. 1t did not matter to them thar
the noise OF their departure made 1t inn
possible for others in their vicinity TO
hear the lecturer; it made no dinerenee
that they were showing gross impohte-
ness both to the lecturer and to Major
Pond, by whose courtesy they were per-
mitted to hear Mr.. Crawford. There Is a
class in this city composed OF people VINO,
if they know the rules of ordinary society
when applied to home life and private
affairs, do not conform to them when IN q
public place. This same class seem TO
think the act of a lecture or entertain
ment of any kind being complimentary
makes it proper for them to act rudely to
the promoters OF the entertainment and
their fellow hearers. These same people
would be indignant if told their conduct
was u~nbecoming to gentlemen and ladies,
yet they persist in behaving in public
places with utter disregard to common
politeness. The rudeness shown at an
entertainment for Which one has paid
the admission asked, becomes, if possible,
worse when the entertainment is given an
audience by the courtesy Of an individual.
What matter if the entertainer fails to
entertain? If at q private house would
not these same offenders bid farewell to
host and hostess with How perfectly
sweet! 1 enjoyed 1t SO much?' Why,
then, is it not obligatory for people to
show to the host, who is no less a host
because he en~tertains in a public build
ing. the courtesy of remaining until the
end? 1t is a stigma on the city when
such conduct as was witnessed last Satur-
day is greeted with the remark, ''Oh! it's
Jersey City manners

active members in the West Side Church.
Mrs. Charles Calvin Stimets was last
Monday elected q member Of Sorosis, New
York's woman club. Aside from the
distinction of being a memoe Of that
pioneer of clubs it is considered an honor
to be elected for the reason that a very
small number Of black balls excludes q
candidate from admission. Mrs. Stimets
had made a number of warm friends in
the club and she was elected with flying
colors. She is a member OF the Woman's
Club of this city aud is chairman OF the
Art Department. Her art day in the
club last spring Will be remembered as
one of the most pleasing ana most grace
fully conducted the club has ever held.

are members of Sorosis. Mrs. john L.
Seadder, President of the Jersey City
Wouaan's Club. is one. Miss May Florence
Park. superintendent Of the girls depart
ment OF Hashrouck Institete and president
of the Rambler, is another. Mrs. Horace
