With Mayor Wilson at press time preparing his message to the council tonight on the de- mand of the trolley company that the jitney traffic be shunt- ed off the main streets the out look was that some compro- mise would be effected by which the trolley service would not be e~suspended next Thurs day. While no definite state ments are made that such would be the outcome the at titude of both the jitney men and the city officials seem to indicate that the council to- night might receive some pro- position from the jitney men which would obviate the neces- sity of suspension of trolley serve on Thursday.
 All civic bodies in the city are ao- ing their utmost to avert a transpor- tation and traffic condition which will inconamode the travelling public and it is believed that Mayor Wilson and City Attorney Con1ley in their report to the Aldermen will recommend that the request of the Connecticut Com pany to restrict the jitneys to streets on which there are no trolleys be consented to, in part.
 It is believed that the mayor will recommend that the jitneys be ban ned from the corner of Main street and Fairfield avenue and that parking places be allotted to the jitneys in the center of the city where prospective passengers will be able to get jitneys for any point.
 It is believed that the mayor. will recommend that the million dollar Plaza be used for this purpose and Jitneys running east and west will leave Fairfield avenue at Water street and use Cannon street as far as Courtland when they resume their runs along Fairfield avenue to the city line.
 The mayor will also recommend that a supervisor of jitneys be ap- pointed who will have authority to 'see that the rules and regulations inn posed by the city authorities and off cers of the Bus Association be strictly compiled with and that the Bus Asso-

 It was intended at first to secure the funds for this increase from an increase on freight rates, but 1t is likely, when the increase to cover wage advances is made that passen- ger fares will also be brought up.

My dear young man:

My dear young man:
 I want to state I know your measurements and gait And you're no mental heavyweight, Nor are you apt to jar the state, But what of that? I don't desire man to set the seas on fire. He, whom the very gods admire Is apt to blow up like a tire. I want a man who earns enough To keep the kids in shoes and stuff, So we can make a decent bluff At being somewhat up to snuff. But I don't need a man so bent On profiteering and per cent That all his days and nights are spent Upon that one accomplishment. I want man whose form and face Proclaim him of the human race, But not of such transcendant grace He aims to take Apollo's place, For it is my judicial view
 Most men are steadfast, strong and

 As they're unattractiyc. You. In this respect, I think. will do. So if you'd like wedding trip By motor, trolley, train or ship, With me along. we'll. here's my tip: Don't let your present chances slip.

BY GROVE

The Gamut club is an association of very modern and professional women who are still feminine enough to choose becoming hats. That is the first inn pression guest at one of their Tues day evening dinners gets, and it is circumstance worthy of being used in many an argument against those who maintain that woman, who wants to vote and rampage around in the world of men generally, loses all her soft feminine charm. Surely as long as a woman takes an interest in becoming hats she is feminine enough for any one, for unbecomingness in headgear is peculiarly masculine trait, as wit ness the derbies, stovepipe affairs and round, hard straws.
 But the members of the Gamut club have many more serious interests even than millinery. They are all really doing things, writing. acting, painting, brokering and lawyering. Every Tues day evening they meet for dinner in their most attractive clubhouse on Forty-eighth street near Fifth avenue in New York, wearing their becoming hats and talking in a most intelligent and clever way about very modern subjects. Men are not allowed. but they don't seem to be missed at all. In spite of their absence the air is pleasantly tinged with cigarette smoke.
 The club was founded six years ago by Mary Shaw, the well-known fem mist and actress; Lillian Russell, and others. According to the directors secretary. Mary Rehan, it has no pur- pose. It is just a club for women, fill ing the same place in their lives that the average mems club fills. From time to time they put on plays or give dances. And every Tuesday evening they have a dinner followed by talk by some well known woman.
 Recently when Mary Shaw was in troducing the speaker of the evening. Margaret Sanger. she said something which should be very reassuring to those who wish to keep women strictly in the home. fearing that otherwise posterity will die out or something.
 She said: of course. the real destiny of woman is and always will be moth erhood.'
