II anyone has led you to believe
that increased freight charges made

other necessities take a big increase,
then you're all wrong. Freight is
only a small and almost Insignificant
item.
So says the Pennsylvania Railroad.
A statement issued by this road
Yesterday declares freight charges
enter very little into the retail costs
of ordinary purchases of the average
household. To prove this statement,
the road has prepared set OF fig
ures showing the freight costs of
goods shipped from several cities to
Washington.
For Washington. freight costs are
as follows:

On our recent mission to Canada, we were all impressed by the elo- quence of the French Canadian ora -ors- They speak-how shall I put it neither pompously nor grandilo- quently, but with solemnity. mixed with respect. It is the French tongue of the seventeenth century with beau tiful cadenced periods. The ecclesi- astica1 orators of the grand siecle would have spoken thus from their pulpits. You know French better than we do," one of our party told them.
 archaic forms which Canadian French has retained, Senator Dandurand told us that their manner of speech is result or the jealous care with which the French people of Montreal and Quebec have defended their maternal tongue against the English.
 'The Grand Roi-or rather. the Grand Roue." he remarked did not say: TEtat, c'est moi q am the State); he said: TEtate, c'est moue,' and so our Canadian peas ants still use the forms Roue,' mouse 'parouesse,' etc.
 He exaggerates q little. The French language has remained a live thing in Canada as elsewhere and there have been evolutionary chang es; it is enough merely to go into the shop of a merchant to observe this.

Society celebrated Thanksgiving royalty. There were scores of din ners that added to the enjoyment of tLa holiday, club and home affairs at which the guest lists numbered as many as seventy, or was limited to members of the family.
 The decorations in general carried out the holid. y idea. Autumn was suggested in the fruits and autumn leaves that shaded from brilliant vel low to a golden brown. When flow CTS were used the choice was largely chrysanthemums, while a contrasting touch of color was brought out in the use of bachelor buttons. Favors were in keeping with the season.
 Quite the most pretentious affair was the dinner given at the Country club by Mrs Beeckman Lorrilard, who had as their guests Mir. and Mrs. Jack Rowlan7s, MT. and Mrs. Tom Dunbar, MT and Mrs. Celora Martin Stoddard. MT and Mrs. H. w. As bury, Mir. and Mrs. George H. Lut- gerding. Mir. and Mrs. A. G. Dull mage.

They had as guests MT and Mrs. George Sears, MT. and Mrs William Perry Spears. MT. and Mrs. Bert Clingan, Mrs. Sims
