DIDN'T LIKE COFFEE
IN RAILROAD RESTAURANT

The Mortimer Brookses and their
servants offered an interesting con-
trast in manners in a little railway
luncheon room in Culpeper, Va, one
morning last week. The Brookses
were returning from Aiken with their
daughter, Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Thay-
er, Jr In the drizzle the party piled
out of the sleeper and hurried with
the rest Of the passengers into the
station. The coffee was tepid, the
eggs stone cold and the potatoes
greasey. The two maids, handsome
and naughty, sat at another table.
Ashley swallowed breakfast they made
such remarks as, "Did you ever drink
such bad coffee 2" and "The service is
abominable. The Brookses ate their
breakfasts without complaint. Indeed,
Mrs. Thayer joked about the dismal
meal and persons at their table smiled
at her sallies. But the maids were
thoroughly indignant.
Everyone says Mrs. e. Van Rensselaer,
Thayer, formerly Miss Gladys Brooks, is
handsomer than when she was young
girl. Mrs. Thayer has physique
that is well-nigh perfect and her bear
ing always has been her mothers de-
light. She looks somewhat like her
father. Mrs. Thayer dresses simply
for a woman of such great wealth, but
she wears string of magnificent
pearls, even when travelling, and her
mothers gigantic pearl earrings also
gave the passengers a hint they were
looking upon persons of Importance.
Although Mrs. Thayer's home is in
Boston she and her husband have not
neglected their New York friends
and visit there frequently. They
were the life of Aiken.

BEAUTIFYING STORE FRONTS
FOR SPRING BUSINESS

With the advent of spring number
of our business men are painting their
store fronts. Two pleasing examples
of diversity of tastes is shown in the
stores of d. p. Mcclellan and John r.
Runyon, adjoining each other on the
park. The former is painted pure
white and presents chaste appear
ance that is very pleasing to the aesthe-
tic taste. The adjoining store is a
happy combination of colors that
strikes the eye very pleasantly. The
Runyon store has new feature that
we wish might be generally adopted,
that is bright light in front which is
kept burning until nine O'Clock, and
occasionally from lapses of memory
considerably later. The light helps to
make the town look alive at night.
Since the early closing movement
went into effect a person coming up
from the railroad station at night
might easily imagine that the town is
deserted. In other towns the fronts of
stores are kept lighted in the evening,
and as most merchants have light
inside their stores, why not place them
in front so that passers by can read the
signs.

FEMALE CHARITABLE SOCIETY
Last Meeting of Season. Society Nearl!
A Hundred Years Old.

Last NJ eeting of Season. Society Nearly
A Hundred Years Old.
The Female Charitable Society held
it's last meeting for the season on
Monday. AS it has for nearly hum
dred years the Society helps to make
life less rigorous for a consider
able number of poor but worthy
persons by supplying them with
fuel for the winter. In many
cases this relief not only prevented
suffering but it also enabled the re-
cipients to earn their living. 1t is
gratifying to know that this beneti-
cent work started so many year ago is
still carried on in several instances by
the daughters of the kind-hearted
women who inaugurated it, and it is
also interesting to note that the
children's children of some who re-
ceived the benefits of the Society in
its early days are now receiving the
same attention.

g MAPLE LEAF /" TELLS OF
BASEBALL OUTLOOK

That bright school paper The
Maple Leaf, published by the stu
dents OF the Morristown High School
is improving with each issue. The
publishers are fortunate in having an
artist at their command, and the April
issue has neat cut at the head of the
exchange department both appropriate
and significant, AS a sign of spring it
announces a revival of base ball inter
ests and says;
i" A game has been scheduled with
the Morris Academy for April 27. No
out-of-town games have SO far been
arranged for, since the certainty of
having a place to practice was not as
sured till last week. Through the
kindness of Mr.. Landfear, and of Mr..
Todd, who rents Randolph's Field, the
High School is to be allowed time for
practice there. Most of the games
will have to be played away from home.
"The weather has prevented regular
practice, but some of the fellows have
been doing little twirling by twos
and threes. Knight is working his
pitching arm into condition, and Piper
has an eye open for catcher's place; !;
Homan will probably keep his old
third-base job, and Robert Sturgis
may try to catch his mighty throws to
first; Selyage, Surdam, Heath and

bly, makes the team, though it cannot
be said where each one is likely to
play. Boell is going to try for the

Captain Homan has confidence
that he can find material for good
