A. .Trocewslen of Mutten.
The soup passed off without any partic
ular comment : Clever dinner salways be
gin quietly ; the mereeau dclicieux was
tcceived with curiosity and swallowed
with gusto. After the appetite had been
thkled with the 7iersd' aarcret, Dr. Bedlee
called the atteutieu of the president and
hei aided the approach of Vice President
Balch, who enteied bearing the gridirer,
and Baby Donaldsen, who carried the
loving cup. They marched te the head of
the table and ia a few humorous words
presented their honored burdens te the
president. The gridiien was placed en
the table in front of the chair,
but the cup iv as icscued from
the hands of the Baby by the president
who, standing, drank te the health of the
guests of the club. The cup then passed
from hand te hand, the guess driukiuff
standing and the membeis sitting. Each
guest was cheered as he lifted the cup te
his mouth. With the saddle of mutton
came another of the peculiar ceremonies
of the club. A stalwart waiter enteied
beating a ram's head with ponderous
horns en a salver. He slowly advanced te
the president, foil iwed by a de.-'n w.meis
holding alett dishes crowned with mag
nificent haunches of Southdown. During
llie precession of mutton the club cheeied
vociteieuslv and sang tbuir tt ne honeied

filing. .

of the club, with a magihecut el 1 watch

'clever' makes me dieam of happy hours
of childhood's lesy cheeks et dimpled
babes of wholesome, loving wives et
honest men, of spiings, aud bioeks, and
vietcts, and all theie is of stainless joy in
peaceful human life. A wendeilul word

tiieie remains a warm, deceitful bud that
sweetens breath and keeps tlie peace in
countless homes whose masters frequent
clubs. After all, Bettem was right :
'Geed hay, sweet hay, hath no fellow.' "
Short speeches, songs and choruses fol
lowed each ether in rapid succession.
Signer Salvini expressed his sentiments
in Italian ; Colonel Bunn aired his tonsils
with a recitatieu : J. L. Carncross sang
one of his famous ballads. Geerge H.
Boker, who was addressed by t'.ie presi
dent as the representative dramatist of
Philadelphia, replied in a happy manner.
The remainder of the evening was passed
ia the jovial manner usual with the
Clever reunion, and it was a late hour
before the last man left the festive beard.

Silk novelties Innumerable
and indescribable. Everything
that ladies or dressmakers have
occasion for in matching, deco
rating, combining. What we
are remarkable for, mere than
for anything else in silks, is va
riety ; or, at least, we are re
puted se. Yeu hear it said by
everybedy: "If you want te
match anything, or find a rare
silk, even an unexpectable one,
go te Wanamaker's."
The ether peculiarity that
everybody expects te find here
is less pleasant te speak of;
lower prices. We put it second,
because there are people who
don't credit us widi lower
prices. Still, we imagine that
if one should assert the con
trary, almost everybody in Phil
adelphia would believe it.
Oftener we speak of ether
aspects of our trade ; aspects
less obvious or less recognized.
It is well occasionally te give
old news.
