AT THE GYMAL DOLED

Thirty couples attended the second
Of a series Of dancing parties for
"unmarrieds only" at the Gymal
Doled Club rooms, Saturday evening,
April End. The affair was arranged
by several of the more adventurous
spirits with Sol Gottlieb and Dave
Goldberg at the head. The hall was
beautifully decorated with tables and
shaded lights along the sides all con-
ducive to sociability and romance. No
chaperons were officially present, al
though several "marrieds" were seen
to peep in surreptitiously from time
to time, casting envious glances at
the gayly swaying forms of the dane
GERS. Whether it was because Of the
music which put life into the most
tired limbs, or whether it was regret
at so recklessly forsaking the joyous
days of their bachelorhood, or per-
haps both, is difficult to tell, but
those on the outside sure gave evil
dence that they knew they were miss
ing a great time. And yet, strange
to say, several of those present at
the first of the parties were notice
ably among the missing, having for
feited the right Of admission by join
ing the ranks of the benedicts. Sup
per was served at twelve, and dane
ing continued until two, all leaving
with one thought uppermost-who
will be the next to be eliminated from
the list of those eligible for the third
Of the series, which is promised for
sometime soon?
The much awaited Gymal Dolodian
under it's new management made its
appearance Monday, and more than
fulfilled expectations. Frank Eisen-
berg has succeeded in this first issue
in getting out publication which
meets the needs of the Gymal Doled
for an organ to carry the spirit of
relationship, and help in welding
the four hundred members into one
happy family, for their own gain and
that of the community in which the
club is destined to play so important

A number of years ago, newspaper
front page publicity was being be-
evidently paying out hard earned
money for little one colin ad on one
of the inner pages of the program
sheets printed by the Capitol theater
of New York.
This person is none other than-the
well known Evelyn NesDit Thaw, who
in her day provided several highly i'm
teresting chapters of reading matter
for those who are now following up
the latest developments in the careers
of TIE Joyces and the Stillmans.
AS Evelyn Nesbit, she is running
coffee shop in West Fifty-second
street and so gossip says. lives upstairs
over the shop in order to serve her
coffee and pies to early risers. The
little ad in the theater program is
illustrated by cut of the fair Evelyn,
which was evidently made in her pal
mier days when decollete gowns were
an everyday affair. The one in the
cut would probably be barred by the
Kansas censorS as it gives the pur-
veyor of coffee and pies the look of
what we out in Kansas would call a
wild, wild woman"

infiamed or unbalanced person to get
a gun in a hurry and to take human
life. 1t will be necessary then for
every person who buys a gun to go
before a judge or some other desig-

ment and his character before he can
arm himself. Such a law will not
interfere with the right Of self-defense
or the right to bear arms gllaran-
teed by the Constitution. There is no
fundamental right to bear arms for
criminal purposes. That is all that is
checked by a pistol-buying regulation.
AS long as this matter is simply de-
bated and considered as a possibility
the murders will continue and the
grand jury will be kept busy and the
courts will be congested with crime
cases. If the Board of Trade can now
bring this matter to a focus in Con
