Mr.. w. r. Matthews, well known and
persistent old bachelor, seems never to enjoy a
pleasure except in company with the gentler
sex. So it was last Tuesday he planned an
excursion to Pen-Mar and invited about half
dozen of his young lady friends to accom-
pany him, which, of course was readily ac-
cepted. They had royal time and returned
to Union Station, Baltimore, about P. NJ,
which was too long to wait for the midnight
train to bring them home, so in the interval
he loaded them on street car and took them
to Electric Park, where they enjoyed the beau
ties of that place until near time for the train.
The ladies are prOfuse in their praise of the
kind attention paid them and the enjoyment
afforded them by Mr.. Matthews. and he de-
serves it all. He is whole-souled gentleman
but he has one fault. He's a bachelor. H.
