waved tresies.
"I never was so Insulted In my life," she
remarked, as I turned to walk down Chestnut
atrect with her for tho sake of basking In tho
reflected glpw of prosperity.
"You knoW wo are economizing dreadfully.
H'a tho thing to do of courae on account of
the war and tho Belgians and larirt and all
that sort of thing. So Just now I went to one
of those funny, single-price stores nnd an
adorable clerk walled on me with the most
wonderful eyes. I ordered oceans of things-
they were so attractive I mean cheap. And
what do you think he asked me? Whether I
would carry them home nnd that he would fur
nish a bosket' And when I gave him a
haughty look and told him to send them, he
actually had tho mrvo to ask me If there
would be anybody there to receive them or If
I was going home directly myself. I Just drew
myself up (sho Is Just five feet one) and
stalked out of tho shop!"

The many friends of "Jimmy" Spear, the
popular and wealthy club man who suddenly
decided to get married last week, are chuckling
over his sudden "reversal of form" a they
describe his second venture upon the uncertain
waves of the sea of matrlmoney. Ever since
his first Odyssey was officially declared oft
Jimmy has been tho most militant of
bachelors nnd tho despair of many match
muklng mammas. Nor was he nt nil reticent
In nlring his views on the subject, his favorite
remark, when discussing the relative merits
of travelling single or double being, "Never
again."
But he succumbed to tho wiles of Cupid at
last, much to tho astonishment of all who knew
him Ho la a fine shot and Interested In all
sorts of sports. Ho took up aviation for a
tltno and went "so far as to become Interested
In a company which took a Hying machine
down to Florida ti year or so ago to bo ex
hibited nt Palm Beach and other resorta. He
bus long held the record around Philadelphia
as to the number of motorcar accidents in
which he has been Involved. Yet, dosplto
some extremely close shaves ho lias always
creaped serious Injury.
Another hobby this enterprising young club
man took up was the raising of wild turkeys
at his handsome country placo near Walllng
ford. I believe, however, that the birds per
versely wouldn't remain wild. It appears that
tho progeny, brought up under strictly homo
Influences, gradually became so tame and ordor
ly that they were scarcely distinguishable from
the common or barnyard variety. As an ex
periment It might bo Interesting to see If they
could bo kept wild by permitting them to read
Bernard Shaw cr some of tho other experts on
war. Jimmy's Walllngford house parties havo
been famous for years and overy one Is wonder
ing whether tho now chatelaine will continue
her husband's former custom of holding open
house
Andrew Gray, the well-known Wilmington
lawyer, wit and society man, has been In town
for tho last few days. He Is a member of the
Philadelphia Club and other local organizations,
and is one of tho most popular men about town.
He Is the son of Judge Cray, of Wilmington,
and the story goes that his vory first case be
came tho basis of the brilliant and lucrative
practlco ho has since acquired. When only a
lad of 13 or M ho appeared in the courts against
one of the larger railroads and found himself
opposed by one of the best-known lights of
the legal profession of the country. Mr. Gray's
argumont was so clear and concise, however,
that he won his suit.
His famous father on hearing of It remarked:
"Andrew, I guess you will never be hard up
for money after that." A prediction which
time has since proved to be perfectly correct.
More and more is the city's social life feeling
the effect of the war and, from what I hear,
the leading social clubs are by no means the
least Immune from the general upheaval.
A prominent clubman and "bon vlveur" tells
mo that the loss In memberships by resigna
tions Is only a part of their troubles. With
tears In his eyes ho avers that the prices of
foreign wlneB and liqueurs have gone up so
frightfully that in several Instances the house

"fri
Committees o eefiti hi ths most FKBrttttwti
organisations ha. iwused A now tut ftrMH
ding tli sals of a botllo of any Imtwrit
liquid refreshment unless It Is eortramtd tlpSM
the premises. Id othsr Words, A member oh
not MTfuifB a. llltls plcnlo "al fresco" tni have
his motor hamper stocked with Cllcqnol at bi
ctnb. II will henceforth bo forced a maJf tI
purchases direct from a. dealer. Ono wondara
If "Bob' Drayton, "Johnny" Qroome or Ctar
nce Lewis had anything to do with tb In
troduction of tills new ukase.
Nor can ths festive football enthusiast ot
tain a flask of his favorite Scotch from tit
club bar-keep to help lift tho lemperahi fet
tho cockles of his heart a he kits upon the
grandstand thesa cool Autumnal days dispels
Inc college yells. Ho may, however, fall bock
upon ryo which bears the patriotic legertd,
"Made In America."
But not alone In this Is the war responsible
for alterations in club life. Whero members
were wont to calher about ths llttlo green
tables In the card rooms Very ndtlgeabt
changes have occurred in the stakes they play
for. No longer does ono hear ot flfty-cent rind
dotlar auction with sums ranging Into tho
thousands changing hands. Nowadays tha
limit Is more apt to be down to ten cents,
wlillo flve-cent bridge Is even quits general
among men who aro reputed to bo extremely
wealthy. As for poker, I am told that 14-cent
and even penny ante has replaced tho ordinary
3 and 60-cent games which used to 'bo tho
customary thing among tho city's "beau
monde."
Thcro Is no use calling up a Btoclc broker
at his otllco these days. Tou will almost in
variably find him at his club or out playing
golf. The head of one largo Arm tells ma tin
first ?2o he lias mado In a month was by play
ing two of Ms former customers' best ball. "I
go down to tho ofllco at 10 o'clock," ho says,
"open my mull, which consists entirely of bills,
play a game of sniff with the cashier and am
through for the day at noon."
e e
Of course you have heard about Percy. Ho
no longer bothers to nttend the Slock. Ex
change, but has gone In for making n dally
"book" on the horse races. Ills friends, with
sporting proclivities, have deserted the frateV- '
nlty of regular "bookies," who may be ob-jg
served any day hanging around Broad and
Chestnut streets, nnd have helped to devetop
for him quite a thriving business, much to the :
chngrln of his professional brethren.
"It 'certainly is hard to keep a Good man
down," as Jonah remarked to the- whale.
,
I was astonished tho other day to hear the
remark made that tho Clover Club dinners
were becoming dull. There is no one, It wa3
asserted, who could take tho place of tho Uto
General Bingham. Tho heckling ot tho speak
ers at this, the country's most famous dining
organization, has been a time-honored custom,
but cleverness and witty repartee which U onco
brought forth, acordlng to my Informant, la
not so much In evidence these days. But then
perhaps tho gentleman who was criticising may
bi- a trllle moro conservative than he onco
was.
I understand that at the dinner In honor ot
Senator I'cnroso's recent victory nt tho polls
tho well-loved president of the club, William
Tllden, was subjected to a, few Jabs of fun.
It appears that ho was launching into a eulogy
in which ho was employing many lengthy and
obbcuro words. A well-known banket called
across the tablo: "Billy, who was it elected
tho ticket? Tho common people. I'm ono of
'cm. Come down out of tho clouds and let us
know what you're talking about!"
