The April meeting of Kate Waller

BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, April 10.-The London So
cial season, now nearing its close. has
been remarkable for the popularity of
dancing and for the new innovations
in dance floors and lighting effects
which the dance vogue has intro
duced into the most select private
homes of Mayfair. This is in part a
result of the competition Of the fash
ionable night clubs, which hostesses
have found they must meet in order to
keep their guest lists filled.
The glass dance floor is the most
popular novelty, and these have been
laid in the bathrooms of many fash
ionable residences. The glass is treated
so it will not be too slippery, lights
are placed underneath the glass and
the whole floor is laid on thick
white rubber cushion to give the de-
sired resiliency. Mrs. Arthur j. Stan
ton of New York is one Of the Ameri-
can kostesses to install such a floor
Another new effect is provided by
installations outside private ballroom
windows from which lights of many
colors may be used to flood the dane
ing space. Miss Mary Borden, the
novelist, has a steel floor in her ball
room which reflects light with the
brillance of a mirror. A pneumatic
dance floor is being laid at the Savoy

American capital to provide Paris
with a temple of music" The
temple is still visible, just off the

to build his temple of music for
Paris, that expert merely said,

They saw Irwin Willat and a COM

the Coquille River.
Incidentally, the desire to see this
wonder scene was so great on the
part of the 0regonians that they

an almost impossible wilderness to
satisfy their curiosity.
Actual shooting Of the scenes came
only after weeks Of preparation
under the supervision of a famous
logging expert Of the north country
The drive was staged in the vicinity
of the Baxter and Barker lumber

ABSECON "A WARD" OF ATLANTIC
CITY

by the time that Absecon is ready

ground, the ancient town will be a
larger and richer place, even though
the merger happens at comparative
ly early date. Atlantic City Press.
Think of it. Absecon get larger
and richer" so it can become "a ward"
in Atlantic City! Is it to laugh?
We wonder, however, If the Atlantic
City Press is serious, after all. Abse-
con now has two wards. Does it re-
quire more than two wards of Abse-
son to make one ward of Atlantic
City? Is this the basis of representa-
tion which the outlying cities may eX-
pect from Atlantic City? Is it really
such an attractive proposition to be-
come a ward of Atlantic City?
We find an area of over 600 acres
lying between Atlantic City and Abse-
con indicates a preference to be an
nexed to Absecon and not Atlantic
City. Doesn't this show a spirit of
getting away from Atlantic City in
stead of being joined to it?
At any rate is will be many a day
before Abseconites recover from their
laughter at the suggestion that their
town become larger and richer
place" so it can be "a ward" of Allan
tic City.

dom. Many of those converts are
among the present membership, many
joined other churches, and some have
entered the church triumphant. But
the memory and influence of that glo-
rious visitation fingers in the hearts
and lives of multitude.
Brother Parker could not but have
an affectionate attachment for Salem
Church, and that attachment was
most warmly reciprocated. 1t was,
therefore, gratifying to the congrega-
ton that upon retiring from active
work he decided with his beloved wife
and daughter, to make his home in
the midst of his former parishioners,
where his relation has been as a sort
of pastor emeritus, always ready to
answer any call to serve the people he
so truly loved and who loved him in
return.
Henry F. Parker could never have
doubted his call to the Gospel minis
try. AS many have said of him, He
was a born preacher Fluent of ut
terance to an unusual degree, vigor-
Gus in thought, with voice of rare
sympathy, and never swerving 10y
atty to the essential truths of the Cos
pei, his sermons were plainly those of
one who studied to show himself. ap-
proved unto God, a workman that
needed not to be ashamed, rightly
divining the word of truth
"To the wife and daughter so deeply
bereaved we offer our sincerest SYM
pathy, while we share with them the
glorious hope which he so confidently
and comfortingly preached of the Lar
ger, Fuller Life beyond, where we
shall renew sweet fellowships with
those loved long since and lost
awhile and where pain and sorrow
and parting are never known.
with fervent prayer we commend
them to the God of all grace who can
sanctify their sorrow to their highest
welfare, and the good of those whom
their chastened lives may touch.
