chaflna Dish cluh,.

Chafing dish clubs are quite the
newest things among the young ma
irons of city suburb. There are six
of them in the coterie l happen to
know about, and how the husbands do
enjoy the Saturday fortnight feasts.
The girls go and take their work and
the meal is served at seven o'clock.
The hostess provides the substantials
and two assistants. Here Is what they
had last week:
Fish chowder served from an old
fashioned tureen in the most enticing
bowls, grilled sausage and sweet pota-
toes en- casserole. fried cheese sand
wiches, chill con carne, hot biscuit,
stuffed olives. French salad, with
chives and string beans served with
appetizing salted waters. For dessert
there were Individual apple tarts
heaped with whipped cream, black
coffee, cheese and barley sugar sticks.
Each one of these young matrons is
personally interested in some one es-
pecial thing. and for fancy work they
bring something for personal wear
or for the house. The art of fine
needle work has certainly been re-
!. vived, as the piles of hand-embroid-
'ered towels, scalloped napkins, dainty
doilies that are in the process of con-
struction would delight the hearts of
our grandmothers. After the happy
repast the husbands smoke, play
cards, or perhaps all play bridge. At
ten good-nights are said. The rules
are: -Four courses at supper, or din
ner, whatever the hostess chooses;
street suits, taps" at ten. One of the
husbands calls 1t THE Grow Young

To Go with a Pair Of Gloves.

Gloves are always acceptable and
seem to be one Of the few things per-
missible for a young man to give a
girl. The following lines accompanied
such gift sent by devoted admirer
as philopena present:
Merely two gloves. yet the hands they
encase
Are the hands that oft rule the world:
Hands that are dainty. tender and kind
The first that mans power unfurled:
Hands that are found where good deeds
must be done.
Hands whose caress is divine.
May they always be strong to uphold the
right
And raise mortals to hoiiest shrine;
Hands that in physical prowess are weak.
But In moral persuasion most strong:
Hands that will succor the needy and III,
And sever the right from the wrong.
May those hands be ever steadfast and
true
To the one they vow to love;
May they ever find warmth In a loyal
heart.
As they ind In this wee little glove.

ranks of the republicans. within a few
days, workers in every block will be
buslly engaged lining up voters for the sue

cept Charles M. Davis, candidate for coun-
ell from the Twelfth ward, who Is sick in
bed and was represented by proxy. They
all made brief addresses. repeating their
determination to see the whole ticket
elected and speaking appreciatively OF the
early and strong organization effected.
Captains and precinct workers came in
for their share OF attention., the meeting
having been called by the organization
committee, e. f. Bradley, Tom McVittie,
Cadet Taylor and f. f. Schurig, to bring
them together. Chairman Bradley presided
and Secretary C. H.. T. Riepen received the
names of most Of the associate workers in
the wards. who were chosen by the nomi-
nees.

be doing from now until the end of the
campaign, 1t was announced that seven

Grand old Man of Base Ball Plays
Great Game nj 81.

Old Pop Arson gave a rather convincing
answer to the question. Gould the old
lime slugger hit the present-day pitcher?'
Thursday. He W it in the az
tirmasive. He mad his announcement in
Philadelphia, where he and his Colts beat
the Athletics. 8 to 3.
The Athletics had DyEert. one OF the
American league best pitchers, in tine
box: Anson was. at bat four times. lie
made two hits and scored one run.
Arson Is 81. years old, but that doesn't
prevent him from getting a hit off the
star pitchers of today and Il suggests
most forcibly that some of his old COM
patriots, such as Dave Orr. Tip O'Neil.
Pete Browning, Mike Kelly, Jim o'Rourke,
would do Just as much batting against
the pitchers OF this day as they did
against those of twenty and twenty-five
and even thirty years ago. Those men
as Radbourne. Burlington. Sweeny Clark
son, Mccormick, Caruthers. O'Keefe and
others OF that Caliber. And II is doubt

some OF those named or others that might
be named. .t,
