Woman's Club Notes.

The long anticipated playlet given
by the Literature Department of the
Woman's Club of Cliffside Park. took
place last Friday afternoon at the
Guild Hall of the Episcopal Church,
and was a play C'Neighbors'') written
by woman and acted by women, and
is considered one of the best of IONA
Gales productions.
1t was a simple every day story of
one day in a way back country village
among neighbors who proved to be
real neighbors to Carry Ellsworth
president Benda) when she thought
she was going to have her sisters boy
sent to her for adoption.
Mrs. Koch was the OverwOrked
housewife; Miss Edith Foringer as the
harasSed houSekeeper with a buffalo
boy on her hands; Miss Donaldson as
the town invalid with all kinds of
troubles, were all as to the manner
born, while Mrs. Sammis, the philo-
sophical venerable Grandma, portray
ed her part like a veteran actress.
Mrs Dana was perfect specimen
of the self-centered primitive country
man, Softening later under the influ-
ence of being helpful, real neighbor
Mrs Mcdonald was the laundering
Peter to the life, wOOing and actually
winning in his own awkward, good
hearted way his adored IneZ whose
character as a charming girl in love,
Mrs. Drew successfully enacted.
AS the very human every day story
unfolded, it brought home to every one
the moral of unselfish service which
supposedly for the benefit of Carrie"
the adaptive mother, really uplifted
every one spiritually and physically,
as usual "blessing him who receives
and who gives"
Carrie, "who never had a wedding,
nor any presents, nor doings at her
home, except funerals" never received
her little boy after all, but as Mis-
Abel remarked at the close, "Strikes
me the little teller is accountable for
Il whole lot he never heard of" and
Grandma finished it with-"Most folks
generally is )"
The pretty little stage gave Il most
appropriate setting to the scene with
it's fireplace, its wiStaria climbing on
the trelliS at the door and its rag rugs
on the floor.
The large audience was very appre-
ciative of the efforts of the amateur
east and generous in their praise of

The defense the railroads have Of

inland points, without giving ex.
tremely low rates to such cities, oft.
times unprcftable. They had tc
make up their losses by overcharg.

there was no water competition. The
railroads managed to destroy most
of the water transportation on the
rivers and to largely curtail coast
