PRAISES AMERICAN
wOMEN'S LUNCHEON

Women's luncheons are liked iced
drinks, Morris chairs, and the Dewey
system of cataloging libraries, among
those specifically American institutions
which have by now obtained firm foot
ing in this country. A very brilliant
luncheon, adorned by the most distin-
guished of guests and the most beautiful
of toilets was held at the Hotel Cecil
by the society of American women in
London. We have no doubt that the
more material elements in the festivity
were in keeping. American women pride
themselves on their knowledge of gas
tronomy and not less on the elegance
and grace with which their feasts are
served. and about the luncheon in par
ticular they contrive to throw a pc
culiar charm of femininity This arises.
of course, from the special economic and
social circumstances of American life
The midday meal is peculiarly the wo-
mems meal. The men take it in roof
gardens up to which they shoot by ex-
press elevators; or else they jostle one
another around quick lunch counters.
But in the suburban home of the typi-
cal American woman leisure reigns at
midday. Housekeeping is finished and
clubs need not be visited till the after
noon. Mrs. Jonathan has plenty of
money to spend, and far stronger
sense of her own social value than the
Englishwoman generally attains to.
Therefore she selects the midday meal
as the suitable time for entertaining
her women friends. The menu is care
fully thought out. There is a special
effort to provide some unusual kind of
fruit or ice cream. The table linen and
decorations are often even more ornate
than for dinner Both hostess and
guests wear their prettiest toilets, and
have, as they say, real good time"
even in the absence of men, An Amer
lean women's luncheon would certainly
etfectually disprove the belief of the
cynic that women don elaborate dresses
only to dazzle the eyes of men. All
American women at all events as can
be seen also, for instance, at the class
suppers of women's colleges, wear their
prettiest gowns to please each other,
or if you prefer it in rivalry of each
other.-London Daily News.

UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE.

In the hearing of case in Glouces
ter, England, Mr.. Justice Bigham sent
the clerk of the court to the press box
with the request that the chief repor.
fer of the Gloucester Citizen, Mr.. E
hlender Pearson, would speak to his
lordship. The summons was at once
obeyed. The hearing of the case in
progress having been stopped the Judge
asked Mr.. Pearson if he represented
the Citizen. Receiving an affirmative
reply, his lordship said: I have read
the report of yesterdays proceedings in
this court and l wish to say that |
was very much pleased with it. l think
1t was very well done piece of work. :"
Mr.. Pearson thanked the Judge for his
gratifying remarks and in receiving the
congratulations of member of the
bar, afterward, vas informed that in
his, the barrister's experience. such an
incident was unique.
