HORSE SAVED
BY BRIDGEMAN
Closes Gate and Prevents
Animal From Leap.

The quick action OF Gustave
Miller, bridgeman at the ferry in
Bentley street, Tottenviile, in clos
ing the gates at that place, probably
saved a horse belonging to George
Penhallow, or Amboy avenue, from
going off the bridge into the sound.
The horse, which was being driven
by John Vanderlew, ran away in
Hopping avenue and threw Wander
lew out of the buggy that 1t raj at
tached to. The animal continued
down Hopping venue to Bentley
street. where 1t was caught at the
ferry by Edward Harvey, one of the
hackmen, after Miller had closed
the big gates, preventing the horse
from entering the ferry landing.
The $40 boat was about at the end
of the slip coming In and If the horse
had gotten off the bridge there would
have been some excitement on the
boat. One of the shafts on the
wagon was broken and the driver es-
capped without any serious Injury.

Summer Porch Luncheon.

A rather novel idea for summer lunch
con to be given on a porch is to use four
or six small tables, spread over them
the big frames made for wagon umbrella
use, covered with paper Towering vines.
One table should be of wistaria with the
heavy stems running down through the
center of the table to the standard, the
table itself to be covered with a lilac art
The second table should have the UNI
brella Of pond lilies. their long stems
twining about the handle and being
caught at the bottom by cattails, the
table being covered by an art square of
corn color with the serviettes to match.
The third table may have the umbrella
of the crimson rambler rose vines and
roses, and the table below should be COW
cred with the art linen in the old soft
gray green.
The fourth table may be of pink morn
ing glory vines and blossoms and the
linen cover below be Of the pink linen.
Each table should use, If possible, the
china that is of the same color as the
flowers. and in the menu the ices. jellies
and cake should carry out the color
scheme as far as it is possible to do So
The rest Of the porch may be finished in
southern smilax. which is inexpensive,
green cool effect. Natural flower cor
sage bouquets for the ladies, fastened to
fam make a pretty souvenir. and one
side of the fan may be chosen plain SO
that it may be autographed by the guests
present Tiny flower pots of the paper
''raffia." with tiny paper plants in them
also make very canning favors.
If one wishes. ard has the time, the en-
tire decorative scheme may be made at
home.
