merry MASKERS
Held full SWAY
MRS. KEY PITTNfAN ENTERTAINs
FOR THE LUNAS
CLAVA.

Merry maskers held sway at the
home OF Mr.. and Mrs. Key Pittman
on Tuesday night, and shouted, and
cheered, and laughed, and blew out
the old year and rang in the new.
The occasion was the fourth anniver-
sary of the Lunas Clava, of which
Mrs. Key Pittman is the chief hos
tess. Lunas Clava holds secret, the
mysteries of which none may pene-
trate save the holders of the golden
Keys, and no man has a key; for
only women are members.
Some of the members of the club
live in Goldfield, and they and their
husbands and friends came tooling
over the desert to pay their respects
to the charming chief hostess. There
was originality and daring in some
of the costumes; there were gallant
knights and dazzling beauties of the
court, and there were comic valen-
tines. All had their places and the
motley gathering poked fun at one
another, blew horns at one another,
danced like dervishes-the jewellers
revelled until the reveille.
Mr.. Pittman was big Indian chief
oh, ugh! Mrs. Pittman was his

Male vanity Makes Misnt Clothe.,


A tailor tossed into a corner a
Thanksgiving suit that had turlad
ont misfit.
1T is mems vanity that makes
nine-tenths of the misfits,". he
growled
How so?"
Why, when a man comes in here
TO be measured, he won't stand in
his natural way. He is too vain. We
go to take his chest measure, and
to have the satisfaction of hearing
a big number yelled out-39 or Al
he puffs out his chest like pigeon
and then his coat and waistcoat are

He does the same with his back,
stiffening it, if he is bumped, to a
military erectness. The same with
his shoulders: il they slope. ne
raises them to his ears. and, If they
are round. he throws them back till
the shoulder blades clash together
And IL his stomach protrudes, he
draws 1t in.
Thus our measurements are all
wrong, and the suit, thanks to the
mans silly vanity. must go to the

"The point which ! want to en-

their organized power has not yet

ways and means to employ this
power should be discussed effectively

WARSHIp'S CLOSE CALL

Refused to Close in Test.

London, June 9.-The battleship,
Irresistible, had narrow escape from
sinking in Portland Harbor today. The
crew were testing the Kingston food
ing valves, which finally refused to
close. The vessel began to fill rapid
ly, listing heavily to starboard, and
it was necessary to call for the AS
sistance of tugs.
The guns were quickly trained to
the port side in order to restore the
balance of the warship. Divers and
pumps were set to work as speedily
as possible under the superintendent
of Admiral Feresford and finally ths
leakage was stopped by collision mats
The vessel still has a heavy list but
