This, It Is hoped, will be the gicntoat
day ln,the history of the Country club.
To say that It will be a busy one Is
to express but mildly the condition of
uffnlrs at tho benutlful sylvan retreat.

I J In the Hist place, It Is the occasion
of the. iinnum meeting, which is in
Itself enough to draw thither a goodly
company of club members. Then, It
Is also the occasion of the postiioncd
tournament for tho T II. Watklns'
cup, which owing to tho descent of a
mlnnture Hood last Saturday, was not
ployed,. Dm Ing the afternoon the reg
ular scheduled match, tho "Guessers"
contest, will also be taken up. Hauor's
band will be present to inspire the
golfers and the lovely course will pre
sent the appearance of one grand lawn
feto.v. Kiom 4.30 on, the house com
mittee will seivo light refreshments,
lvrts. 13. h. Fuller, Mis. A. II. Storra.
Miss Rolln. Miss Dale. Miss Archhald
md others will have the matter In )
:hprge.
The course Is In splendid condition,
far better than was anticipated. It
s like one fair velvety lawn, idling
,n every direction and now exquisite
.beyond description In Its tender green,
wtfli the rich, deep shadows beneath
Uie trees add to the Corot-HUe effect
ver the hillside.
The "Guessers" contest, which lias
inen arranged by Captain Iirooks, Is
unique In some inspects. Instead, a.-,
Lhad been been suggested, of having
Lich contestant guess at his own score,
has been decided that one person
11 he selected upon whom the guesses
Oll be based, each golfer's guess will
be recorded and the one making the
nearest to the heore will receive the
pilze, a flist clnss golf club.
The eup offered by Ml T II. Wat
kins as a tournament prize is a hand
some specimen of the silversmith's art
and w 111 be a valued treasure to the
ltiekv vinnei.
It is deslied by the gieens' commit
tee that all plajlng be suspended from
4 until 4.30, in older that a full at
tendance may be In at the annual
meetlnu. .
"" The Counti. v club bus will run on a
forty minute schedule fiom 10 o'clock
this morning until as late as required.
The Scranton golf gill Is now spoil

in her spine by leason of much stoop

aie simply a mass of line needlework,

of Russian embroidery. The canvas

The dramatic ambition seems to bo

with undoubted talent which would bu

private Influence the renuisit"". In al
most every individual case the ablll
tins are such that the long and u-dluua
intermediary steps taken ordinarily !n
tho puccessive roles of super, villagers
chorus, guards walking ladles, e te , up
to the' pilnclpal character are meth
ods of unnecet-saiv drudgery. Lack of
education and careful tiulnliu would
scare elv be notd. so stiong and un
mistakable is the divine tlrr of genius.
Tho vast lnci easing furore for going
on the stage Is not to bn smiled at as
It becomes moie apparei.t In this com
munity. Instead of being an ambition
which, piopcily eliiceted, may lead to
some gteat advanlaeo to the one who
Indulges In splendid hopes of dnzzllng
the wot Id ot play-poors. It Is teison
Rbiy certain to untlt him for the more
useful employment for which he is
probably tar bettiT oualllied. The
famous tragedian iray bo bom but he
is .lust lis surely made, by yeaio of
patient and often tragically pathetic
effort. Most frequently he comes from
a laco of actors and has been familiar
with the stage from babyhood. Not
one in live thousand amateur btars ever
peeps above the horizon.

In what seems to be a more hovvery
path than thut In which circumstances

Because a gilt can stand In a
fliend'b parloi and thillllngly re
cite "Cm few .Shall Not Ulng To
night," Is no infallible Indication that
she possesses in that one capacity
the passpou to enduilng fame or to
even decent means of Htippoit. Be

please tan give it chaiacter sketch

in a nt Ighboi hood whcio they are
known and loved a company ot young
people can present a little farea torn
tdy so effectually as to convulse their

What Miss Lucy A. Hciser, a trained
nurse of eight years experience and a
graduate of the Homeopathic Hospital
of Minneapolis, Minn., hero says of
Talnc's celery compound vitally con
cerns every suffering woman:
"I am glad to testify to the merits of
Paine's celery compound especially as
a tonic In cases of convalescence. I
haves noticed very satisfactory results
vlth patients under my care tvhen
Paine's celery compound was pre
scribed." Tho above endorsement is corrobor
ated by the experience of Mrs. Ilasel
ton: "Wo have been using your Paine's
celery compound In the Nazarene
Home for some months, and it is with
great pleasure that I can say that our
aged people have invariably been beno
llti"d by Its use. I have been using It
myself, as has also my niece, and there
lias been a marked Improvement In our
health. I was very much run-down
after the winter's hard work, but am
ieellng very much better. I have rec
ommended It to a number of friends
outside" of tho Home, and they, too,

Mrs. Chandler, President of the So

It is a pathetic picture to see a fair
young glil. with only her little talent
and peihaeis a winsome face, become
.stage-struck and with her pretty eves
blinded by the glamor of the bright ar
tificial glow of Ihe" amateur sti-5". and
her cai.s composed by the plaudits of
her friends, who aie as indlseilmlnat
Ing and Incapable of leal judgment of
her merits as Is she herself, go forth
Into that false, alluilug, but most per
nicious atmosphere.
She Is often obstinate and self-willed,
and, even If she have wNe adviseis, is
too v aln and determineel to yield to
their wiser influence. Unlike the soci
ety girls, who may have Fung
in some charily entertainment, and
dazzled by the memory of till
enthiislastlc tribute paid as much to
their position and piestlge as to
their talents, she ha not the potent
social ties to hold her fast in the beaten
track, she has not tho traditions of
caste to stand about her as a powerful
bariler, and she has not the immediate1
natural surroundings of adulation and
gentleness and assured respect." She
has the yeatnlng for all these, and little
hope of satisfying tho Infinite hunger.
The stage affouls at least a possible
paiadlse wheio all the things she has
missed will be hers. The ambition is
Indeed one that has many eoccusi's, but
whose promise is as false as fair.
Letters havo been received fiom in
numerable girls, all of whom are en
tirely confident of their abilities to be
come either pilma donnas in grand
opeia or leading ladles In legitimate
drama. .Some uio ill-spelled, and near
ly all ate ciude In composition, but
doubtless neither spelling nor compo
sition has entered Into the heart of the
stage-struck maiden to conceive as
necessary to the repertoire of an act
ress. They Impoitunately demand in
formation as to the procedure.
4 A
They want to know whether they
slnll apply to Daly for an engage
ment or whether it would be better
to start out from Philadelphia; wheth
er comedy pas better than tragedy,
or vlco versa, whether it would be
best to spend their savings In party
gowns suitable for stage wear in bo
clety plays or whether it would bo
well to Insist that the lucky manager
furnish tho outfit; etcetera, etcetera.
There aro other letters which arc
pathetic. Hcie Is one:
