 THEIR FIRST MAGAZINE. Was Feature of Social Side of Resu-
 lar Nesting.

The Xens society held it's regular meeting Friday evening with good attendance. The president. Mrs. John B Dat. presided.
 The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, Harry Howard Three members were ad- mitted to membership. The annual picnic was discussed. and it was voted that suggestions for places would be brought to the next meeting.
 After adjournment a Magazine evening in charge of Miss Elizabeth Park of the entertainment committee, was greatly enjoyed. The editorial department under John B. OAt made the members alive to the fact that the magazine was to be one of the best Mir. Dat with much pride, just call- ed attention to the cover design of the so called Xens' magazine which was most omate and which he said cost $1,000. The editorials were per- showed plainly thta in MT. Oats hands that department met all demands re- quired of it.
 In That Reminds Me" page, dem onstrated the fact that Mrs. Herbert Willey's bump of humor was with her every minute and all jokes on the so- ciety's members were seen and care fully hoarded, evidently for the Xens' magazine.
 The page of poetry was cared for by the Xens' poetess, Mrs. Avery Park, in her best form she gracefully responded to an encore.
 Mrs. William Gi1christ in her selec- tfons of both humorous and grave. made the short story pages the usual popular ones of a magazine.
 Although each and every depart ment of a magazine is eagerly read, possibly the fashion receives the great est attention,
 Walter M. Cowan, well known as a connoisseur in all that pertains to fashions, edited this. department In his talk MT Cowan said he thought his reputation as a designer of cos tunes, began in the Xens' society, but tht he was now well known all over this country, and modestly added. probably all over the other countries. He gave the history of dress down through the ages to the present time. with graphic predictions into the fu- ture. handling the subject so deftly as to far outdistance either Paquin or Worth and could give points to even Mrs. Duff Gordon. The socieety was fortunate to have Madame Roser. a member of the committee, with them to care for the culinary sheet of their new magazine. Mrs. Roser used as a demonstration, her excellent recipe for "Welch Rarebit" giving a short talk upon the virtues of the ingredients used.
 She was assisted in making and serving by Mrs. Harry Howard, and Mrs. Samuel Billings. Mrs. J. E. o. Leach and Miss Elizabeth Park served coffee.
 Each contributor was heartily eP- p1auded and all agreed that the first edition of the Xens magazine was a great success.

 and in charge of Motorman McGlone was almost at this point and it was claimed that two other autos were following the Buell. machine, all mak- ing good speed with the trolley. One of these was brought to a sudden halt when Lahn was struck but the other
 passed on and did not wait.
 Lahn was apparently struck on the
 back of his thigh. thrown to the
 ground and the forward wheel passed
 over his thigh while the machine went l on for about 20 feet before the brakes brought it to halt. Lahn was left huddled up in a heap on the road with the clothing torn from his left leg and was thought to be dead by those who reached him first. MT. Handle
 man and John Murphy tore off his collar and his clothing around his neck, carrying him to the grass by the side of the road. Many jumped from | the car to give help and Judge Buell. ! was asked to take the man to the hos pital but declined according to MT Handleman.
 A telephone message to the hospital
 was sent from neighboring house and
 the automobile ambulance responded | taking the injured man to the hospital
 for immediate treatment.
 It was stated to those who inquired for the family Sunday evening the X-ray would have to be used before | the full extent of the young mans in- Juries could be determined Judge

 chine with him accompanied the auto
