In MemOriam

There was a vacant place in the choir
above,
So the Saviour looked for his best be-
loved;
None could be found quite so sweet,
To come and fill that vacant seat,
AS our Geneva.
For of such as she was, there are few
on earth,
But of such as she is many in heaven,
Life is all the sweeter because she has
been there,
While heaven is nearer and happier
She is there.
Again the Reaper has entered the
circle of our Ladies' Aid and this time
he has taken our youngest and dearest.
While bowling in submission to his
divine will our hearts are aching at
the loss of our loved one.
All she loved are more sacred to us
for her sake, aud commencing them to
the one she is with, we can only say,
"some day we'll understand

Resolution

BE IT RESOLVED, By the Board of
Commissioners of 1.-THE City of Wild
wood, in the County of Cape May"
that the mystery of Life and Death is
ever with us; inscrutable, invincible,
and recently the hand of Fate has
grasped from our midst and crushed a
young life, that to every observer SEEM
ed one only of bright promise.
The sad and lingering death Ito our

ways COURTEOUS and kind to those who
sought her services on municipal mat
tiers. She performed her duties with
efficiency, accuracy and despatch and
manifested in her work a willing spirit
to please those with whom she came
in contact.
While it is not for Mortal to question
the wisdom of Him who holds our lives
in the hollow of His hand, it is with
deep sorrow and sadness that we see
such a one cut down in the bloom of
womanhood, and a career of honor and
usefulness.

true that the power to sympathize and
the power to dream are closely re-

Perhaps the cats greatest value as
a companion to man consists In tho
example of absolute tranquility and
easy freedom from all care, which Il
offers. A sleeping cat is medicine

the cat had more imagination ID
would be less cruel, but also less con-

Or, his own may have been the
hand that set the door of his wife's
heart wide open for thieves to come
in and steal his wife's treasure.
She craved sympathy; he gave her
none. She loved amusement; he was
too busy to accompany her even to
the theater, or too stingy to give her
as much as treat of a restaurant
supper.
She had enthusiasm for art and lit
erature; he Knocked at them.
She loved society; he let her go into
it alone and unguarded.
Be sure that no man ever alienates
the affection of another mans wife
unless the husband Is too Indifferent
to keep what he has won.
How does a woman lose her hus-
bands affection?
By the same road. By laziness, by
weakness, by incompetency, by
triflingness, by carelessness.
She first charmed him by her pretti-
ness and daintiness. She lets herself
grow slouchy and unattractixe.
He fell in love with her because she
was amiable and sweet. She grows
querulous and complaining and fret
ting. -.
He dreamed OF home that would
be full of comfort and peace. She
makes one where all the demons OF
discomfort and dirt and discomfort
have their abode.
She complains that other women
have stolen her husbands heart

have done it if she had not given
them the opportunity.
The coquettes of the world are
merely sneak thieves that pilfer the
things that are lying around loose on
which they can put their hands cas-
lily. They cannot break through the
impregnable wall of understanding
and sympathy and devotion that hus-
band and wife can build about each
others heart if they will.
We spend our lives devising ways
to keep our cash and our gew-gaws
safe, but we do nothing to protect
our love and keep it from getting lost
or stolen. Yet if we lose our money
we can make more; if our jewels are
stolen we may possibly recover them,
but if we once lose love, it is gone for
ever--nothing can restore it to us
again.

Having recently expressed disap-
probation of cats, have received a
temperate letter from a man who
keeps two pet cats, He touches the
subject on opposite sides--the eco
nomic and the philosophic,
People who can afford that amount
OF expenditure for such purpose will
be glad to learn that the two cats
in question, which il appears from his
statement. seldom or never take rats
or mice, cost their owner 10 cents per
day for food. This seems to be a
moderate allowance where the ami
mails are maintained as house pets.
] know a lady who always has four
or five cats about her house (burying
them tremendously as fast as they
die off, and remembering them with
tcars), who feeds them on broiled
steak, carefully removing the gristle
and bone and cutting the meat into
convenient mouthfuls so that the cats
shall not have to make undue exertion
in taking their meals.
Tencents day would probably not
go very far toward covering this la
dy's bill OF expenses for feline main
tenance, since she also gives her cats
plenty Of fresh milk to drink, But
then, 10 cents day would also fall
far short OF paying many mans ex'
penses for cigars.
No doubt, too, cats can be kept, and
we'll kept, on daily expenditure
amounting TO a small fraction of IL
cents, without requiring them ever &c
take a mouse. Besides, in the sum
mer time, birds will considerably re
duce the expense, because the mos
aristocratic cat will take the common
est bird with gusto.
The philosophic part of the lettel

cruel disposition OF the cat. 1t il

The most inexplicable of all human

If man had all his fortune in gov
eminent bonds, and should leave

thieving hand to steal, or should be SO
indifferent to their whereabouts that
he mislaid them through his own
heedlessness, we should waste scant

Yet we have this curious contra

had safely hidden his pocketbook with
only $40 in it, so that burglars could
not find it, and the woman who keeps
her jewels locked up in safety de-

Ruth st. Denis was no stranger TO
the guests asked in to tea Sunday
afternoon by Miss May Mahoney to
meet the celebrated dancer and her
husband, Ted Shawn. She and Mrs.
E. M. Fairfield had met in the Met
ropolitan museum in New York,
where the dancer haunted the lee
ture halls when old Chinese, Oriental
or Grecian art was the subject of dis
sertion.
Mrs. Edward Creighton had also
met Miss St. Denis before. When
Mrs. Creighton as Hazel Connell was
attending Miss Einch's exclusive
school in New York Miss St. Denis
was the exponent of the dance there.
Mrs. Wayland Magee, who was in
Berlin eight or nine years ago
when Ruth St Denis made her de
but in the German capital, just missed
seeing her dance there, but she mo-
tored in from Summer Hill farm es-
pecially to see Miss ST. Denis dance
this time, as we'll as meeting her at
the tea.
Distinction is given the celebrated
dancer by her prematurely white hair.
This, combined with her youthful
countenance and large gray eyes,
makes her face one not soon to be
forgotten. Her lissome, graceful
figure was clothed in a simple gray
silk gown.
Many of Miss Mahoney's guests
commented on the striking resem-
blance that Ted Shawn and John
Rayley, guest at the tea, bear to
each other. Both men wore the same
color suits and Mr.. Rayley's friends
assure him, since he devotes himself
almost as assiduously to terpsichore,
he may masquerade as the well-known
dancers partner.
How many men attended the sup
posedly feminine diversion of after
noon tea to meet the social "lioness"
was interesting to note. Mr.. Charles
T. Kountze, Mr.. J. de Forest Rich
ards, Mr.. Myron Learned, Mr.. c. D.

E. M. Slater, Mr.. Edward Creighton,
Mr.. T. R. Rutfedge, Mr. Martin Har-

wives and were presented to Miss St,
