Baker and Barber to
Mingle With Elite at
Billion-Dollar Fete
H. Clay Prick, Snubbed by Taft
and Society, Goes Into High
ways for Guests.

BOSTON. Aug 16.--Henry Clay
Frick, a Pittsburg steel magnate and
Prides Crossing pride, is at odds with
Northshore society over his billion dol
lar lawn fete planned for tonight. So
ciety is not coming out the way it
ought, Mr.. Fric1 decided when the an
swers to his invitations began to ar
rive. Mr.. Frick in this crisis, perha ps.
turned to the Gospel for comfort. At
any rate, his answer was to emulate a
Gospel example and go out into the
highways and byways" of Prides Cross
ing and the surrounding towns for
guests to fill the vacant places. And
as a result, two Beverly BARRIERS, the
Magnolia baker and several others not
acceptable to the Northshore elite will
stroll about the beautiful Frick lawn
tonight. Publicity, the failure of the
invited guests to respond properly and
gentle snub from President Taft are
held responsible for Tricks change of
plans.
Be that az it may, the billion dollar
fete won't be nearly so pretentious as
was at first planned. Frick has cut and
siashed his own program until the
NorthshOre groans.

has exceeded its authority in assuming
TO name Jones as the tabernacle re-
ViYalist in the future or in assuming to
control the operation OF the tabernacle
