MATRIMONIAL CLUB FUNCTION.
Reporter at u Novel So
cfal Affair,

From the New York World.
A social event. odd. if not important. was
the reception and banquet last Saturday
night of the Private Matrimonial Club al
Tuxedo hall. Those who attended the
function were ayowedly In search OF nus
bands or wives, and, as they did not wear
masks, they were apparently not ashamed
OF their mission.
1t was a molly gathering as to age and
condition. There were boys and girls OF
and all the years between were represented
by persons of both sexes.
Our aim is" said Mrs. Ida Ehrlich. pres
fdent and manager, that every one OIL our
clients shall lind a mate"
Mrs. Enrich did not know that she was
talking TO one who had secured admission
TO her exclusive affair by pretending that
he needed a wife. To him she had sent this
note.
Dear Strive shall be delighted to wei
come you at our affair, and as ladies' OF
very high standing, socially as well as mn
ancially. will be there. can assure you NOT
only a pleasant, enjoyable evening. but that
same will prove fully advantageous 10 you
The man. disguised as a w~iie-hunter, pre-
scented his invitation at the door, where sat,
in fine array, Mrs. Frances Schaffer, secre-
tary Of the club. with a winning smile. He
paid s., which entitled him 10 admission
and supper, and was ushered into the hall
by the smiling secretary herself, who had
been told to keep an eye out for him.

away your nat 1 Will introduce you 10 your
future wife"
With the secretary leaning languishingly
upon his arm, the visitor Strolled into The
ballroom and made its circuit. followed by
the eyes of the assembled girls and women.
Blondes and brunetteS there were, of every
age, and most of them were decked out in
q stunning way. Mrs. Enrich, the presid-
ing genius. was gorgeous in satin, brocade
and diamonds. but there were four women
to every man.
There" cried the secretary. as with a
Joyful gurgle she pointed to a short. dark
woman of about 25 years, "is one l think
will suit you. She is Miss Smith, of New
ark" and to her the secretary beckoned.
There was a formal presentation, and then
Mrs. Schaffer returned to her post at the
door to collect more dollars.
Everybody at the affair was called either
Smith or Brown, the arrangement being
that their true names should not be dis
closed unless an affinity were found. Miss
Smith was frank. She told how she came
to join the P. NJ. c.. You see." said she.
IT work all day and live with my folks. I
am tired of working in a store and would
like to be married. Mrs. Ehrlich wrote
when I answered her advertisement that
she could find a good husband for me. 1

A lady ave a lecture the other day on
the holiness Of dress versus the beauty of

ing well and dressing b~ecomingly. The
subject is not new. but 1t suggests a few
reflections. Are not many of the embar-

and those who cannot. 1t is not SO much

slant changes which causes the heavy ex-
penses- Where our mothers bought one
dress and thought themselves fortupate
VIC buy twenty. and still complain we have
nothing TO wear. Furs, formerly reserved
for royalty, are worn even by girls whose
dress allowance naturally cannot be large.
