The society columns of thU paper are
necessarily sadly cut down, as a glance
at this page will reveal, by the Incur
sion of the business world of Scranton.
In the advertising space the nwn of
Scranton have found a way to put
themselves strongly In evidence In the
Woman's Paper. Therefore the long
list of fashionable weddings to come,
reported engagements, and splendid re
ceptions with which we had thought to
fill the social columns have gone glim
mering with the dreams of things that
were," and were not. We must per
force echo the poet Holmes' lament of
long ago:
Where, oh where are the visions of
morning
Fresh us the dews of our prime?
Gone, like th t.nianU that quit with
out warring.
Down the bni-k ulley of Time!
Such of them us could be caught we
herewith lay before our readers.
One Scranton woman was amusingly
reminded last evening that the tenth
anniversary of her wedding day had
arrived. A small Impromptu party of
her friends rejoiced her nvart wun
gifts. Including a 7-Inch china doll in a
resplendent woolen crorneieu gown,
two chicken whistles, a small tin trum
pet,, a tin server und vurlous ' other
small articles or that precious metal
whether the result of the Welsh or the
American tlnplata Industry, Is un
known. It Is feared that the effect
upon her husband nnd herself will be
to exalt them unduly with a sense of
wealth.
Mr. John Jermyn gave a most elabor
ate dinner last week at Hotel Jermyn

lavish scale.
Mrs. Blanche Kesler Orambs, former
ly of Honesdale, now of Seattle Wash.,
Is winning golden laurels In her west
ern home, both as cantatrlce and musi
cal composer. In Scranton we knew

a bright and pleasing song writer.
The Knights Templar ball promises
to be one of the most eluborate ever
given In the city. There will be mem
bers of thirty-live commanderles pres
ent, but only Sir Knights in full uni
form will be admitted at tho ball. The
Krothlngham will be handsomely dec
orated by Clark and the Suburban Elec
tric Light company will put up myriads
of lights among (lowers. The floral de
signs will all be emblematic of the or
der. A new departure will be the erection
of a platform for the musicians, to be
suspended from the celling. Bauer's
orchestra and band of forty pieces will
furnlBh the music. Hanlcy will be the
caterer and will serve the guests, four
hundred at a time. In a temporary
structure to be erected In the vacant
space fronting on Penn avenue. An
Innovation will be the arrangement by
which every lady on her entrance will
be handed a ticket, on which she Is
expected to write her name and a full
description of her costume. It the re
ports In the morning papers are not
satisfactory the wearers themselves
will be responsible.

fact that Mr. E. B. Sturges and Mr. J.
Ben Dlmmlck are interested In the mat
ter, insures Its success.

A CLUB DINNER,
The Mea's Matul AdmiratkM Society
Meeting , by A Moose la the Coraer.
There was another meettns; of the
Men's Mutual Admiration society In our
rooms last night. They call themselves
a club and the rooms club parlors: but
wo mice, who come of a long and aris
tocratic lineage and had earliest posses
sion of the building, smile at their van
Uy. Their meeting was of the usual kind
one for eating and drinking, for talk
ing and making noise enough to waken
the dead. While waiting for thein to
vacate the pfare beMiv siiiirtst- we
thought we would listen uwhlie to learn
whether they hud gained any wisdom
from their long association with us.
Here are a few specimen fragments:
"Never, never has It been our good for
tune before to hear so macnlllcent an
exposition of constitutional law," said
the one I will call "the philosopher." in
Imitation of his fellow members. Then
they oil hurraed till the glasses rattled
on the tables, while the talker bowed
to "the statesman." The statesman
had "graduated," so we had once heard
this same- philosopher declare, "from a
shanty in the first place and a whisky
saloon In the second" but the states
man wasn't present when that remark
was made. The statesman beamed
while the hurrahs went round. Then
"the poet" got up ond read some verses
about "the pure souled loader of a na
tion's cause, great Intellect that framed
our noble laws," and "the orator" got
up and declared the poet to be "great
er than somebody named Bacon was at
the time he was writing nil of Shake
speare's and Marlowe's and lien Jon
son's and Beaumont's and Ford and
Masslnger's works, and the poem one
Milton found later and printed as his
own." The poet modestly "deprecated"
this as "excessive praise," but hoped to
"become worthy of it all In due time."
and tho orator leaned back behind htm
and winked that's what we long ago
learned these curious being, called men.
name that singular twisting up of one
corner of tho face winked at "the law
yer" and across at the statesman; and
they both clapped their hands and
roared "hurrah!" nnd then they winked
duck at the orator. Curious creatures
Indeed these two-legged men are! All
this was only a beginning of what we
listened to from these and a dozen
more; and a tired-out set of mice you
may well believe we were before they
went oft singing to at least twenty-flve
different tunes, "We Won't Go Home
'Til Morning!" Morning It was then.
and all this time had we been kept wait
ing tor our supper. Ban I
"If I might be permitted to contribute
to the Woman's Paper, said one well
known citizen the other day, "I should
ask for only one line. In that I should
put only the two words. "Poor Women!"
Profound meditation has failed to re
veal just what especial misdeed or
shortcoming of his own sex he had In
mind that led him so to bestow pity
upon the wives and mothers, daughters
and sisters of men. Whether he was
feeling a spasm of remorse on behalf
of his sex for general or special mis
behavior to womankind, or whether
he was speaking from some misappre
hension of woman's good times in the
world must forever remain a conun
drum. If it was remorse, we forgive
him! If It was misapprehension, we
desire gently to reassure his perturbed
mind. The women of this generation
are not pining for pity. Let him be at
peace.
MANLY REGRETS.
In the mirror gating fondly
Whitest brow and deepest eyes
Smiled the pictured face In wonder
Linked with questioning surprise.
Wonder at the dazzling beauty
That the lingering look did meet
Marvel that so rarely ever
Lay such gifts at mortal feet.
But the mcm'ry came o'erfllttlng;
And In gazing grieved he.
"Woe," he sighed: "That I can't marry
All the girls In love with me!"
