-Hn Observation-Disclosures
consist of the usual dainty viands, bright
responses to toasts, n ~violets. with some
special music. Some of the invited guests
who will probably give responses are Mrs.
Z. e. Williamson of Elizabeth, Mrs.
Gustav Becker, Mrs. John L. Scudder.
Miss Amelia B. Meyers, Miss Louise Far
rant, Mrs. Chittendon of New York, and
Mrs. Taylor and Mrs. Walker of Engle-

by Mrs. r. Bradley Tanner, at her resi-
dence, Carteret avenue and Clerk street,
a new game was introduced. On this
occasion the gentlemen present were
draped In sheets with pillow cases over
their heads. leaving simply the palms of
their left hands exposed, and the ladies
were kept guessing as to whom belonged
the hand. 1t is needless to add that the
game. caused much merriment.
A bride Of the near future will be Miss
Meyer, whose marriage to the Rev. Angus
tine Elmendorf will probably be celebrated
either the latter part of thisn. onth or the
first of June. Mr.. Elmendort and his
bride will reside in one of the church
houses almost opposite the rectory of the
Church of the Holy Cross.
There seems to be more Jersey City
people who have this year planned sum
mer vacations in Europe than for several
years previous. Among those h will
probably start in Tune are a number of
young people from the Heights, includ-
ing Misses Dora and Edna Toffey, Jessie
Perry, Minnie Nelson and Miss Bell, the
latter, however, being from New York.
These young people expect to spend
about three months abroad, visiting Lon
Con, Paris, Geneva, Pisa, Milan, Flor

They also expect to climb the Alps and
take a trip up the Rhine.

Among the first to leave the city for

HoBoKEN EUROPEAN EXODUS.
Larger Than it Has Ever Been--OM-
Gals Cant Account For It.

The European Exodus from Hoboken
was never so heavy as it has been for the
past week. The officials of the steamship
lines say they have not experienced such
a busy season in a long time. Outgoing
vessels are crowded with tourists. The
incoming ones also carry large passen-
ger lists.
Captain Badenhauser of the Hamburg
American line when asked this morning,
to what he attributed the extra heavy
traffic, shook his head and said
'You got me. 1 cannot account for it.
It is one of the busiest times ! have ever
experienced in my steamship career and
it came on US before we were aware OF
it,"
Superintendent Moller of the Bremen
line, and other steamship officials in Ho-
boken, a the same story to tell as Cap
tan B~adenhauser. Things are extra
ordinarily lively they said, but what is
responsible for the increased activity it
would beshard to say.
