time TO come include the bal
IL ro1s1uc given by Mr.. and Mrs.
/, T.. Fuller; Mrs. T. II. Wat
kris beautiful reception and the
WcllcaBclin wedding, with the many
complimentary entertainments in hon
or Of tho bridal party.
The masquerade was so notable in its
beauty and interest that the memory Of
it will long be pleasant to recall The
elaborate floral decorations, the central
table in the supper room with a mini
ature fountain and gold fish, the glow
of the softly tinted lights, the varied
costumes were all top picturesque to be
soon forgotten.
Among those whose exceptional
charm attracted much attention was
the pretty little French frock worn by
Miss Mastcn, the guest Of Miss Gdlnin,
and the blue satin and pompadour silk
worn by Miss Hunt Mr., r. f. Watson
as Dom Paul. and MI. La Motto BLlin
as a skirt dancer. created no end of
amusement, as did a number Of young
men in truc cake walk tinery, among
whom were Messrs. II. G. Barker. L.
j.. Chase and g. W. S. Fuller, and MI
H. n. Merrill in his bridal gown and
veil was a delight to see.
1Among. the many charming costumes
were those of Mrs. w. NJ. Dickson's
Rcbekah, Willie Matthews, page; Mrs.
Il. NJ. Winton, AS A colonial dame;

Mrs. A. II. Christy, Mrs. Il. c..
Coursen. Miss Poorc. Miss Doro-
thy Dimmick, Miss Anna Archibald,
Miss Anra Matthews, Miss Jermyn,
Miss Howell and others. To no one
was tie monastery garb more becom-
ing than to Mr.. w. W. Scranton, with
his towering figure and breadth OF
shoulder The court dresses worn by
many gentlemen were especially hand
some.
Just why any paper or individual
should feel called upon to criticise a
man for spending money which Injuries
10 one and benefits great many
trades folk and working people is diff
ficult to sec Probably no man in the
city of Scranton gives more to charity
than the one who was so bitterly at-
tackled this week for affordinC his
friends an evenings innocent pleasure.
The I.ackawanna hospital. the Young
Mems Christian association, inc
churches and countless charities never
call upon him in vain. and the wlde
generosity of both himself and his Wlte
in many private gifts to the poor ana
suffalirg Of this region should preclude
fault-fnding.
To st.r M anger against one who
docs net hoard all his money in banks
and bonds, but scatters 1t freely Whlle
hc is alive to soc it's benefits, is sort
Of aparchism Scranton can do without.
Professor Howard GrigSs, who VIII
lecture in Guernsey hall on Tuesday
night. should be heard by large audi
ence. Professor Griggs' lecture courses
during the past year have been on
''rhe Cities of Italy and Their GIFT to
Civilization" "Thc Divine Comedy OF
Dante" Moral Leaders of History
"Fducation and Life, Personal and
Social Development, and Types of Wo,
manhood: Studied from Autobiog-
raphy" These subjects represent a
wide range of studies, and yet in them
all Professor Griggs has the same fun
damental aim, to enable his audiences
by their own active thought to obtain
"a closer and fuller understanding OF
the great and permanent problems OF
human lifc-of such problems as edu-
cation, the vocation. personal relations
ana faith and religion. These prob
lens are studied on the one hand in
tho great masterpieces Of art and lit
craturc. and on the other in the per-
SOnality and lives of the men and Wo.
men who have made real contributions
to the thought and life of the world
Professor Griggs studies the past, anc
with rare insight sees what is sig,
nihcant there for higher living today
he endeavors to point out how the con.
tributions of yesterday may serve u.
today, and then he indicates the for
ward step that we must take tomor
row, or rather that forward steI
must he taken. Education for the ar
of life or for life's sake-in deep
broad sense-might be said to be tn,
fundamental idea of his teaching.
