They View the Moon

From cards to the moon is not such
a far step that guests at Hotel Key
west on eclipse night were discouraged
from essaying the feat.
Having thumbed the cards zealously
till O'Clock they strained their eyes
and took peeps skywards. They want
ed view of the eclipse.
The majority vote was that a sure
enough eclipse was noted, but so faint
was the phenomenon that there were
some doubters among the little card
rarity.
The guests came from all parts OF
the United States and included: Mes

what to debut, OH how happy they
are-those little tots who have just re-
turned from a visit to toy land.
Two blissful evenings in 1.-THE Toy
Shop" and one afternoon spent there
also, to say nothing of the days in
which they were being made into dolls,
it is time they were tired and there Is
nothing more delightful than being
happily tired.
1t is impossible to say too much of
the success of THE Toy Shop" and
the work of all who took part in 1t.
1r the lives of the children It will be
a bright spot to look back upon and
the beautiful pictures which were pre-
sented cannot soon he forgotten by the
mothers. fathers and friends.
Society could not do otherwise than
be interested in "The Toy Shop" as
children from homes of nearly all the
society leaders took part in the opera.
Theater parties galore were given and
the audience at every performance was
a fashionable one.
Miss Margaret Martin deserves much
credit for her careful training of the
children and the patronesses are gem
erous i'm their praise of her.

Cleveland O., Jan. 18.-It was
learned here today that c. K. G. Bill
ings announced when he was here that
ting and pacing mares are to be bred
to John A McRerron, Harry De-
vereux's renowned 2:04 x trotter. The
list given out by Mr.. Billings included
Lou Dillon (1:5S z }, Mazette (2:O4H),
Lucille (2:0D, Louise Jefferson
(2:O91k), Fanny Foley C2:11), Bugle
C2;12), and Glad News (2:14). Every
member of this cluster is a famous
mare, and the get which will result
from being bred to AIeKerron should
furnish the trotting realm with cham
pions of champions. There has been
much speculation as to what would be
done with Lou Dillon.

composition, is wheat and intelligent
men and women are coming to realize
more and more that in the whole of the
wheat is found the secret of health and
happiness. Rich IN the nftrates. or
muscle-making elements, the carbonates.
or heat-producing elements, and the
phosphates, or brain and nerve-makfng
elements. the whole grain of wheat
supplies every necessity for mans body
and mind.
This is how Malta-Vita came to be
known as THE Perfect Food. . for Nal
ta-Vita is simply the whole of the wheat
and a little salt, thoroughly steamed
and cooked in absolute cleanliness, then
mixed with pure barley malt extract,
which converts the starch of the wheat
into maltese. or malt sugar. an active
digestive agent and very nutritious as
well.
