FIRST Y. NJ. G. A. DANCE
BROOKLYN JEWELLERS RESPONSE
BILE FOR NEW DEPARTURE-NO
OBJECTIONABLE FEATURES.

Brooklyn, \. Y, Feb. 2O.-All tradi-
tons were shattered last week when
what was probably the first dance ever
held in a Young Mems Christian ASso-
citation in Brooklyn took place. Green
point claims the honor for the departure
and the organization which set this
new precedent is known as the Dwellcrs.
1t has a membership of fifteen who oc-
cupy adjoining rooms in the dormitory
of the GreenpOint Branch, 90 Messerole
avenue.
The dance was held in the rcd rOom."
Fifteen couples were present, The dane
ing started at the stroke of eight and
promptly at IL o'clock were heard the
strains of Home. Sweet Home" Re
cake were served between dances. The
committee of arrangements was com
prised of b. J. Dunick, Il. I. Williams
and Leo Seisfelt.
NJ. j. Sickle, branch secretary, was
present and acted as censor. The popu-
lar turkey trot" was barred. absolute
~. The order went forth early and Mr..
Sickle was alert every minute to see
that it was carried out to the letter.
Asked as to whether or not there was
any rule against the holding of such an
affair in an association building, Mr..
Sickle said: II see no objection to Il
good clean dance. OF course. there will
be no turkey t~rotting or any other OBJ
iectiOnable dance"
The music was furnished by an or
chestra under the direction of Joseph
Martin. a member of the association.
The dance was successful in every re
spcct. and Mr.. Sickle was inclined to
look kindly on the idea. 1t is likely that
the dances will become one of the regu-
lar social events at the branch.

THE MATTER OF NAMES.

In the biblical account of the crea-
tion we are told that the animals were
brought to Adam that he might name
them, and by whatever name he ca!ieo
them they were known Thereafter.
Adam may have done an eNceilehl JOB
in the naming OF creatures put ms
descendants have not always heeh
happy in their choice OF cognomens.
In some cases, in fact, they have let
the matter go by default, as Engllsh
speaking people have done IN the case
Of the common barnyard fowl, which
Ia a name at all. A young
bird may properly he known as a
chick, or a chicken, but that term
scarcely fits the mature bird. The word
chem is applied to ma birds OF
many species, so that it cannot be used
properly to describe only n of them,
and it certainly does not fit both sexes.
The simple fact is that OF u COM
mones and mos useful domestic bird
IS nameless.
In the naming of our own country
we have also created confusion. The
country of which the official name is
1.-The United States of America" is
quoted commonly known as 'Anleri-
ca" We would scarcely think of call
ing the German empire "Europe,' but
thai would be n parallel case. Our
country is part of America. The
Canadians. the Mexlcans. the Brazil
ians are all Americans just as truly as
are the people of the United States.
but the name is never used with refer
ence to them.
Still. in the case of our country as
in that of the humble hen. we are not
likely to make any change. and the
confusion in terms will go on indefn-
itely.

DRY RULERS.

The emperor of Germany has gone.
dry. For a long time the kaiser has
been preaching little to the
men of his army. and navy on the inn
portance of moderation in the use Of
stimulants. and it appears that of late
he has been noting carefully the ef-
fects on himself of the use of alcohol
even in small quantities. AS a result
of his observations he concluded that
alcohol diminished his working pow
ers. and Immediately he determined
to discontinue its use in all forms. He
continues to have wine served at his
table, and does not attempt To force
on Others the rules that ne has adopt
ed for himself. but it is clearly under
stood that immoderation will meet
with his displeasure. Naturally this
attitude will affect very materially the
use of intoxicants in the whole Ger
man empire. There is no law compels
people to follow the example Of the
emperor, but very many people do fol-
low it of their own free will.
President Roosevelt was not and is
not a total abstainer. but he comes
as near to being one as a man ear who
uses liquors at all. President Taft
had used alcoholic drinks. though in
great moderation, until about the time
when he became president. He then
discontinued the practice. very quiet
ly and modestly. and he has since been
a teetotaller. President Wilson does
not use stimulants in any form,
though wines are served at presiden-
tial dinners to those who wish them.
Secretary Bryan, of course, has always
been a total abstainer, and his grape
juice cocktail has become proverbial.
The premier Of Japan is d total alb
%stainer, and his favorite tipple is tea.
The list Of men prominent in the gov
ernments Of the world who do not use
liquors might be enlarged Indefinitely.

Emmeline Boyd sat on her veranda
in the twilight and watched the pass
ers-hy in the street. She sat very still
with her hands folded. She was
dressed neatly and she had a red knit
shawl drawn about her prim shoul-
ders. She was the kind of woman
which a summer evening brings forth
oy the dozens upon the verandas of a
mall town-the kind tina, is comfort
ahly housed and provided for. but who
have no interest outside the home. the
kind for whom life has long since
resolved itself into monotonous rou-
tine.
Emmeline Boyd's husband had put
on his hat and walked downtown to
look about. He would come back
near beitime smoking a cigar and ex-
pect TO find her exactly where he had
left her. He would have nothing to
tell him, because nothing ever hap
pened TO her which was exciting
enough 10 talk about.
She had lived within the narrow
limits of her own domesticity SO long
that she was considered a bit queer.
She was left mainly to herself and her
