Christmas Suggestions
Another now design in drosslnt; table
and bureau fixings is on tho market.
These make nn Ideal gift If you want to
select something moro elaborate than the
ordinary remembrance. One stunning
service for the boudoir Is called Du Harry
I ware. It is made of u composition on a
cream uacKground, featuring raised de
lgns of garlands of (lowers. Tho utili
tarian Idea Is not lacking, either, for the
whole Bet of 13 nieces may bo placed in

c ihey sell at various prices individ
ually, but tho set costs $19,73. Tho same
tjle set In all white ivorv costs S10.75.
P An odd linger ring Is a happy thought
i mo joung man who is selecting a
filft for his tlancee. One shop showed
a stunning model in tholiewest green gold,
Tvitn tho antique finish which is so sought
after just now. The stone was a lovely
aquamarine, brilliant enough to pass for
diamond, with a pierced setting of the
fold. The whole thing was unsual, and
Wis price 2.
Another unusual and highly acceptable
J"(t for a girl is a miniature lorgnon.
This isn't the regulation lorgnon, by
any means. It 1q n vprv flninll version of
-tit, made in sections, so that it may be
iuui up nnd slipped into the handbag
It la not worn on a chain. The price
is i:s.
Hare perfumes and scents of refined

Loves to Dream o'f an Operatic Career.

Does Joo da carus' from Nnpoll'a street".
The ambition to become a grand opera
slnr tilled the Italian heart of Joe Caruio,
nsMslant wnlter nt the Hotel Stcnton,
today as he tossed the dishes nround and
wnrtlcd 11 Venetian air. That Is, he war
bled until tho head wnlter cut the flow
of note? short by ordering hint to "can
that noise."
This wni done In a friendly spirit, tho
hend waller suggesting that the patron
might desire to breakfast, ns usunl, and
that It would facilitate matters to post
pone the operatic outburst.
This was not unusual for Joe. It In
ntmopt a dally occurrence for him to
burst Into song ns ho goes about hit
tnskn. Ho hopes In this uny to get tho
necessary prnctlco which will fit him for
the rolo of nn opera Idol. Tho ambition
to grace the footlights Wbb Ingrnlned In
Joe's nature In early bohood nnd has
never left him. It's nn ensy bet of dol
lars to doughnuts, In his opinion, that
one day his star will shine In the the
atrical firmament n brightly as that ot
the other Caruso. It Is his nmbltlon to
eclipse his fnmous predecessor.
Unfortunately, Arthur F. Hecb, man
ager of the hotel, nnd his fellow waiters
do not shnro hit optimism ns to the ope
ratic career. Whllo they will readily ad
mit that Joo shows great promise of be
coming a flrst'clas efficient waiter, and
of even attaining tho pedestnl of a head
wnltcrshlp, they frankly declare that they
fall to detect rtny harmony In hi "bnrl
tonic" exhibitions. Hut, then, Manager
Heeb and tho hotel attendants nro not
opera critics, nor nro they experienced
In managing such stars as Madame Melon
nnd Scottl. So they may bo Incompetent
to Judge tif tho merits of his voice.
Joe snB that serenading Is his spe
cialty. Many times In the "old country,"
In beloved Nnpoll, he sang, accompanied
by a hand orgnn, to American tourists on
the hotel balconies. When he had noth
ing lit pnrtlcutnr to do he would stroll
down to tho sun-baked beach at Sorrento
and sing whllo the fishermen brought In
their "hauls" Joo fays thnt Americans
abroad appreciated his volco much more
than those here.

objecting only to crtnln forma of ritual

Because this nttnek, which was made
In nn open letter to Doctor Roberts, comes
from one of the lending Kplscopat cler
gmcn of the diocese of Pennsylvania
and from n man with whom tho Itev. II.
C. Stone, founder of the Fellowship, was
formerly nn nsslstnnt at St. Luko an I
Epiphany Church, It has caused much
surprise and discussion.
The non-Cplscopnl ministers nro now
waiting with much anxiety for Bishop
llhlnclnnder's decision on the Invitation to
become honorary chuplnln of tho Fellow
ship. If the lilshop accepts tho position,
prominent religious workers assert it
would virtually mean that the Episco
pal Church In Philadelphia Intends to In
dorse it. Should Ulshop Ilhlnclander de
cline the honor, they say tho club would
have to stand or fall by its own power.

83 OF G7 COUNTIES IN STATE
FOR SUFFRAGE BY 47,367
Philadelphia the Stumbling Block for
"Tho Cause"
Statistics showing the unexpectedly
largo vote that the "Woman Suffrage
Amendment received nt the polls on
November 2, have been compiled by tho
Pennsylvania Men's League for Woman
Snffrnpe. They show, according to the
League, thnt 33 out of the 67 counties
gave nn nfllrmnllve Vote with a majority
of 7,3fi". Nine other counties, combined,
gnvo only a majority of 2,537 against tho
"cause." Of the 13 western nnd north
ern tier counties, every one voted for
the amendment.
Philadelphia, according to the League,
was the stumbling block on which tho
"cause" fell, this city defeating tho
palgn and this was not enough to cover
two-thlrda of the State
The counties ot Bradford, Forrest, Mc"
Kean, Mercer, Potter and Warren vete.it
more than 2 to 1 In favor of suffrage The
total Voto of the State was 85,342 for, rtml
4(0,875 against, the causa losing by onljr
83,23.1. Of this adverse majority Phlla
dclphln contributed 4,182 votes. Tho
counties of Berks, Lancaster, Bucks,
Montgomery, Northampton, Lehigh, Leb
anon, Tork and a few other counties,
with their lnrgo population of German
descent, recorded on adverse vote of fully
80,000 Comparing tho vote for the

presidential election In 1912, It appears
thnt the women received moro Votes for
their cause than were given for Taft by
