RAISIN DAY CELEBRATED
AT CITY CLUB LUNCHEON

Raisin day was celebrated by the
City club at its regular weekly luncheon
yesterday. Every item of the menu
had raisins connected with it, and
every raisin was eaten.
George Edward Graham, who was
with Schley at the battle of Santiago
as correspondent for the Associated
Press, was the speaker of the day. He
made a short address on 1.-THE Gather
ing of Great News" He told his au-
dience of the battle of Santiago and
the difficulties the correspondents eX-
perienced in getting the news abroad,
because the cables were held by the
Spaniards. He told of the assassina-
ton of Mckinley and the execution of
the assassin from the point of view of
newspaper man. Other important
news events in which Mr.. Graham had
personally participated were made
more real by the unknown details told
by a man who had been on the spot"
In conclusion Mr.. Graham referred
to the sudden death of w. G. Taylor,
the popular reporter, who was stricken
while at his typewriter and who was
buried yesterday. He said Taylor was
a splendid type of the real men who
make the daily newspapers.

kkO YEZ! Oyer! Oyez!"
King Solomon may have been
" the wisest man of his day and
generation, but, dear heart, what
chumps the rest must have been!
The average woman cannot remem-
Der much farther back than her own
eat-grandmother but since
that time it is a surety that the daugh-
tiers of this estimable woman have
been very busy proving the epigram-
matte seer of Israel a false prophet,
and his statement that there is nothing
new under the sun to be a grave error.
Here is one illustration in point:
A certain charming hostess out Ches-
ter park way is in open revolt against
what she considers the ubiquitous GUS
tom of paying social obligations with
calls, especially the sort denominated
party calls" and next season will sim
ply send cards of acknowledgment at
the proper time, after she and her hus-
band-who, by the way are exceed
ngly popular-have been entertained.
Also she declares she will no longer
be slavishly confined by regular days
Eat home" and next winter will re-
ceive callers on a few dates only,
toward the close of the season, We'd
nesdays in March, perhaps, when she
will welcome all corners.
Now, here is a plan to delight the
taste of an epicure and one that is
just to everybody concerned. 1t is es-
sentially worth while and certain to
meet with the approval of every nus
band, son or brother who, Infatuated
and protesting, but helpless before the
wiles of the Dearest Little Woman in
the World, has been dragged from the
comfort of his cozy inglenook time and
again to that blamed nuisance a
series of duty calls
And really when one considers the
matter why should one inflict oneself
and ones friends by rushing in upon
them for three minutes and half and
then rush madly out again to the next
address, and again little farther down
the street to do the same, and
again and again and again to repeat
the inane performance all for the sake
of being able to say YEARLY, as the
door of ones own domieile closes be-
hind him. "There. praise be to thanks,
that's over With"
| repeat, unless it is to welcome a
stranger or to seek out an older per-
son or a friend who is "shut in" by
reason of illness, why is formal call?

was supplemented by full orchestra
of hooking birds, linnets and meadow
larks.
Nature prinked and plumed for days
for the occasion and brought out great
beds of snowy Easter lilies and splrea'
she touched into gorgeous dress purple
larkspur and smiling pansies; with
splashes of color she flung the amaryllis
to the breeze and spilled paint pot over
the primrose bed.
Sweet peas like modest maidens,
looked out from under pink, purple,
red and white sunbonnets; while fern
fronds waved and paine leaves WINS
pered in glad expectancy. Date palms
and stately trees held out welcoming
arms to the pleasure seekers and sur
fered their beauty to be enhanced by
swinging May baskets hung from the'r
arms. Wee Margaret Davis and Mona
| Wood danced about under the trees,
tempting everyone with bonbons
| offered in shepherdess hats swinging
from their chubby arms.
Nearly 400 guests graced the occasion,
and offered Fluctuations to hosts and
guest of honor. The sunshine of per

and the Doheny garden fete, one of the
most notable society functions of the

BE NY SWEETHEART

Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When the birds are on the wing,
When bee and bud and babbling flood
Bespeak the birth of spring.
Come, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
And wear this posy ring
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
In the mellow golden glow
OF earth aflush with the gracious blush
Which the ripening fields foreshow,
Dear sweetheart, be my sweetheart,
AS into the moon we go!
Sweetheart be my sweethear
When falls the bounteous year,
When fruit and wine of tree and ivne
Give us their harvest cheer.
Oh, sweetheart be my sweetheart,
For winter 1t draweth near.
y
Sweetheart, be my sweetheart
When the year is white and old,
When the fire of youth is spent forsooth,
And the hand of age Is cold
Yet, sweetheart, be my sweetheart
Till the year of our love be told

She discovers the fault, and slips

Masculinity, lined up on the pave

but since the first repulse the majority

Under the skillful hands of the fair

Wise Talks
By the office Boy"
The Old Man had the Man
ager, the Merchandise Men and
lot of the buyers in his office
the other day and said to them:
Boys, most of you sta rted with
me as delivery boys. You've
been instrumental in b elping me
build a great business L believe
in you. 1 believe you are the
brightest, brainiest lot of young
business men in t he United
States. l gave you an oppor-
tunity to show what kind OF
stuff you were made of and
every one of you have made
good. l thank you fol- your 10y
atty and assure you Of my per-
sonal faith in each one of you.
In peruslng the papers each day
[ see nearly every finn in town
are advertising their $40 and $25
suits at SIS. Now What l want
to know is, where do they buy
them? You have plenty Of spot
cash at your command and it
would grieve me very much if
felt that any firm anywhere
could offer better values than
ourselves. With our five big
stores to buy for, you should be
able to give better values than
any house in the West. My am
bition is to build a great busl-
ness that will be credit to my
name long after I've strutfled OF,
but il must be built on honor.
And 1 charge you boys again,
as [ always have, that IL IS not
only my wish, but my orders,
that every piece of merchandise
entering our store shall pc
marked in plain figures at the
smallest possible profit, so thal
no one can ever undersel US on
the same class of merchandise.
The men with one accord as
sured him that they knew all
about those SIS suits. They
even knew who made them and
what they cost. They further
stated that they were never
made to sell for more than $Io
and paid very large profit at
that price; far more than We'd
ever think of making in a Silver
wood Store. There's nothing TO
il. It's Just newspaper talk. DO
YOU like that sort of thing? DO
YOU like to have a salesman say,
"This is a $50 suit, but we are
selling them for $15," when in
reality it is worth about $l2.5O?
Doesn't a certain doubt always
come into your mind when you
listen to that kind of talk? You
can avoid all that sort of thing
bv trading in a Sherwood Store.
There's an awful lot of satlstac-
ton in knowing you're getting
value for your money We hon
estly believe we deserve your
patronage. Can't we have II
Come in and look around. see
what nice stores we have. See
what nice, clean-cut statesmen
we employ Why not tomorrow?
