Of Phoenix

Ave atque vale"-hail and fare
well-was spoken last evening by the
city of Phoenix and the state of Ari-
zona to the Rev. William Scarlett,
dean of Trinity cathedral. Ave
atque vale'-a tribute of apprecia-
ton and a benediction for the future
measured for him last evening the
almost measureless affection of his
people for him. and brought to him in
no uncertain terms their acknowl-
edgement of his worth to them and
to the community at large.
Dean William Scarlet - plain
'Will" Searlett to the men who have
opposed him on the tennis court or
have met with him around the con-
ference table when clear brains and
steady purposes We're needed-was
greeted by his friends last evening
at the Womans club in valedic-
tory dinner such as is given TO but
few men.
Representatives of every line of
endeavor and of every shade of po-
litical and religious thought gathered
at the banquet board last evening to
give him the last token of their APP
probation. Members of the cathedral
parish who had stood shoulder to
shoulder with him in facing the prob
lens of the institution; mothers who
had seen their children absorb under
his tutelage the best and highest
ideals Of personal conduct; civic
workers who had found in him
tower of strength and an inexhaust-
ible reservoir of energy when the
interests of the community were to
be advanced: adherents of varying
faiths who had found in his words
the broadest expression of true
brotherhood-thes were the diners
who rose repeatedly in ovation to him
last evening and in whose hearts
there will be always a nook reserved
for him.
More Than 200 At Dinner
More than 200 friends-for friends
they were rather than guests-at-
tended the dinner, which is the last
formal meeting at which the dean
viii appear before his departure for
st. Louis on Saturday evening. He
leaves as dean of Trinity cathedral to
become the rector of Christ church in
the great city of the Mississippi val
ley-a promotion which is taken by
every one who knows him in Arizona
as only a fitting recognition of the
success of his endeavor in this part
of the world and an earnest of greater
responsibilities which must come TO
him in the future.
The dinner last evening was one of
the finest affairs ever held at the
Womans club The decorations were
under the charge of a committee con-
sisting of Mrs. Ernest w Lewis. Mrs.
e. ]. Bennitt, Mrs. Dwight B. Heard
and Mrs. w. G. Hartranft, and were
arranged with the same care and
artistry that distinguished the ap-
pointments for the anniversary dim
ner given to Bishop J. w Atwood a
year ago. Roses, sweet peas and car
nations graced the tables, while from
the bracket lamps along the walls
hung twining festoons of roses The
stage of the auditorium, in which the
dinner was held, was banked with
potted plants, and it was from this
setting that the vocal numbers were.
given by the choir Of the cathedral.
Bishop Atwood POSTMASTER
The toastmaster Of the dinner was
the bishop under whom Dean Scarlet
has worked for more than a decade,
the Right Rev. julius w. Atwood,
head of the diocese of Arizona. His
opening address, as well as all his in
troductory remarks, sparkled with wit
and fun, and from the moment the
program opened it was apparent that
the dinner was to be such as friends
desire in wishing well to one who has
entered upon a broader sphere of ac-
tivity and who are exerting them
selves to let him know the kindliness
for him that is in their souls
The dinner was opened With
blessing by the Rev. Bertrand II.
Cocks, after which, as the diners took
their places, the cathedral quartette
sang the first of a series of selections
from '@The Morning of the Year" by
Charles Wakefield Cadman. These
selections made UP the entire musical
program which was a beautiful fea-
lure of the evening. The members
81 the quartette were Mrs. Lotta
FahIen George soprano; Mrs, w,
