that If he could he would communi-

doubt. Surely Webster would not

brother, without cause! 1t was all
so bitter.
Twisting the little wishing ring

And may well hesitate to take suggestions good

professors of equet make tired with their harsp

Ought man to take off his hat in an elevator when
women present?
In conversng with lady in the street ought one to
keep his hat off
Should a man keep his hat in his hand when on a

CENTURY CLUB IN cuANDARY.

From the conversation that went on in the cor
rfdors Of the Hotel Astor yesterday while the City
Federation was in session, II seemed evident that
there was going 70 be large detection from the
Century Theatre Club account of the Mark

Il didn't know 1 had joined Christian Science
club, said one land 1 going get out
II only stayed in" said another because IL was
so harmonious. If going TO row like other
clubs. going to get out
The future of the club is very uncertain. and an
executive meeting held at the home of the presi-
dent, Mrs. Sydney ROsenfeld, yesterday morning
failed TO produce any plan by which the present
problems be solved.
According to the constitution, Mrs, Rosenfeld
canIft be reelected unless she is elected unani-
mously, and that row appears To be impossible.
but there still many who cannot imagine the
club without her. Hence general feeling of ship
wreck.
Meantime many large contributions have been
withdrawn from the clubs booth at the Actors
Fund Fair account of the Mark Twain incident.
Among those mentioned : candidates the cleo
lion which takes place Friday Mrs Edith
Ellis Baker chairman OF the fair committee, and
Mrs Frank Stuart Osborne.
