RAPHAEL WE'LL OPENS
NEW SCHOOL FOR BOYS

Raphael WE'LL of the White House
has recently established under the
auspices of the Young Mems Christian
Association another school for work
ing boys under IA years of age. This
makes two schools established at the
association by Mr.. WE'LL, one at the
expense of the firm for its cash boys
and the other for boys IN general at
the personal expense of Mr.. WE'LL.
The only conditions placed upon the
latter is that the boys must be en-
ployed through the day as wage earn
ers and shall not be more than IA
years Of age. The association has re-
Gently established a day commercial
school for men, which is also quite
successful. Nearly 700 students were
enrolled in the educational depart
ment of the association during the
year.
At a meeting of the educational d.
rectors held last week a committee
was appointed to take under consid-
Grafton the matter of establishing an
automobile school under the auspices
of the educational department of the
association. where chauffeurs may be
trained and general instruction given
on the care and management of ma
chimes.

The Sequoia scintillated ''scrump-
tiously' last night-even IS did the
stars without. T.-ere was a snap, a
nervous expectancy in the air. just as
though something was about to hap
pen''-and it did-to the supreme JOY
of the uncommunicative. And the sur
prise locked deep in the vest pockets
of the directors-of such as have them
was that the famous young author
Of The Helmet Of Navarro" now
Mrs. Bash, and her gallant soldier hus-
band were to be guests of honor. Twas
indeed to be a reception, but an inspi-
rational affair Of a days planning
and therein lay its joy.
To be sure, there were men who
came in dinner coats and women who
came in street frocks, and these were
visibly and audibly shocked on behold
ing the rest Of the assemblage in bril-
liant plumage, likewise the honored
guest. But the embarrassment was
but a fragmentary affair as measured
by the oerhowing bon homme, the
blessedest thing that son Of man is
heir to.
Mrs. Bash received the platitudes Of
the populace with a charming show
Of appreciation. looking very pretty
and very young and very happy in a
diaphanous white frock, bearing IN her
arms a bunch OF red roses. Captain
Bash heroically received at her side,
but these military men are trained to
worse things.
At 1850 the guests-about forty Of
them-adjourned to the cafe, where a
merry little supper was spread and
some rather clever toasts were ven
tilated. Original? Why need they be,
when every guest holds a copy Of
Prosit?
Acmong those gathered IN the red
room were Captain and Mrs. Bash,
Miss Mary Bell, Miss Ednah Robinson,
