John McHugh, only speaker to admit having rehearsed his speech before a mirror, told both Demo- cratic and Republican admirers of Harold K. Hadley at his testimonial dinner last evening at the Hotel Elton, he hoped to leave an in- delible mark on the minds of his listeners so that they will vote for him when he runs for mayor and sits in the mahogany chair at the Grand street palace, a job which pays the measly sum of $7,5OO a year, and "all you can grab".
 When I'm in that chair" added McHugh, T can watch you squirm when. I make the wrong appoint mentS to boards and positions" Concluding he told the honored guest that it was possible that two could live as cheaply as one, on Cracker Hill, but did not advise him to move across the railroad tracks where he resides.

 Clayton Jones, for whom the honored guest manages the Arch Preserver Shoe store, asserted it was deep pleasure to be able to sit in at such fine gathering in tri- bute to such a fine young man. He praised MT. Hadley as worthy and trusted employe and added if he is as trustworthy as a husband as he is as an employe, nothing but joy will crown his matrimonial venture.
 One Mistake!

(Introducing Miss Lucia Baker. Seamstress) You cant go wrong if you engage Lucia Baker In our town she's rated the best dressmaker, And if you have little dress to be made She'll select the style and just the shade As a seamstress she rates very high, The very best materials is sure to buy. She'll come to your house for a week of sewing, Alters and while the children are growing. She's usually booked up for weeks in advance, Has all she do before each big dance. She do anything from hemstitching to heading, And how needle flies for each and every wedding, Miss Lucia copy smart French styles She balks at nothing and always smiles. When our first town girl bought ready made dress It was shock to all as you can guess. But that didn't bother seamstreSs heap. And we still wonder when she gets time to sleep. We all say we wouldn't part with our dressmaker Ready mades good enough but prefer Lucia Baker
