Tho rirpsrnt week hns retained some
of the holiday palety hut ltn close hIk
rials n lonn stretrh of deadly dullno'
which will inohably linger In unbroken
monotony until Just before Lent, when
another tush of festivities will be
cxpetleneed.
Next week will bo IniRely devoted
to the excltlliff whirl of rooklntf hchool,
readlncs and lectures. The Hist named
dissipation Is nttt acting much Interest.
The lessons are practical withal. "No
end of fun," say all the participant's.
who with dainty aprons, caps and
nnowy cuffs deotu two hours each
week to making uctual dishes of ap
petizing aroma and flavor. Next week
will be devoted to eggs and there
promises to be a sharper corner on the
market than ha heretofore been ex
perienced, doleful as are ithe average
Jiousowlve's dally struggles with the
egg problem, at this season. It Is the
most iinnecountable mystery why
farmers persist In raising hay Instead
of hens.
The readings of Mrs. ItutH McKnory
Stuart will be the feature of next
week. The beautiful southern woman
with her raro gift of voice and man
ner will furnish a unique evening's
entertainment, in a feminine way her
work Is a tpo of Colonel Carter. The
Boft southern dialect, the nuaint rural
conceits, the rich humor, for Mrs.
Btuait Is no apostle of gloom will
charm a Scranton audience as seldom
one has 'been charmed by a literal y
entertainment.
"Who will ever forget "The Various
Tempers of lirandmother Gregg," or
"A Slender Komunco." or "Deacon Hat
field, of Slmpklnsvllle" fame, or "Son
ny" u ml the quaint exquisite pastoral
coloring which surrounds his father?
The bicycle club Is likely to be
filled to overllowlng Monday evening.
The proceeds of the aftalr will be to
aid the Young Ladles' society of the
First Presbytcilan church.
vMis. Stuart will lead selections from
"Sonny," "In Slmpklnsvillc" and plan
tation verses.
Friday nlcht an event of great im
portance will ho cluonlcled in tho pnn
onatlon of "The Pride of Jennlco," by
James K. Hackett and the appearance
of Miss Uertha Galland, tho new star
whoso brilliance Is d.i77llng the critics.
This beautiful girl who was born In
Scranton and who is always regarded
with jiiidc and admiration by her for
mer townspeople, will hao an ovation
on this occasion. It Is also understood
that a reception is to be arranged for
htr and Mr. Hackett fit the conclusion
of the play. She will be given a royal
greeting, of that there, la no sort of
doubt. Theatre parties unnumbered,
are being planned and it w 111 be a gala
night for this city.
Colonel I. M. Boles has added a
number of new treasures to th store
of curios and articles of rare hlstorl
Bfra1 or peisonal value which are seen
on every hand la the beautiful home.
One of his latest acquisitions Is a
moose head, one of the most enormous
on record, the animal having weighed,
more than 2.60) pounds. The antlers
are magnificent, spreading far across
the room and occupying tho place of
lionor above the massive lire plac..
A beautiful c.ulbou heid from Alaska
Is another new possession which is
ttoubling Colonel and Mis. Holes to lo
cate favorably,
A relic of their recent trip to Mexico
Is a charming water color Interior of
the room In Santa Fe where Geneinl
Lew Wallace wrote much of lien Hur.
A delightful entertainment was given
last night at the Home for the Friend
less by Misses Beatrice and Trystlne
Morris. John Morris and Mr. and Mrs.
Will Watklns, of Peckvllle. Theie were
many songs and charming recitations
nd to say that the old ladles and
children and all concerned enjoyed ths
occasion is to cxpics their sentiments
but mildly.
Miss Llnborg, who has been tho
guest of Miss Hunt since bofoie tho
holidays, returned to her home in
Trenton on Monday. Miss LInbeig 's
one of the favorite visitors to this cltv
and her depaiture Is uluas attended
with great regiet by the social ele
ment. Another fair visitor who will
leave early next week is Miss Wilder,
who has been the guest of Miss Welles.
The latter will go to Rochester for a
fortnight's stay with Miss Wilder.
Mr. J. J. Albright, whose munificent
gift to the city of Buffalo Is now the
tonic of the nhllanthronln unrM ,-
warm place in the hearts of Scranton
people from the little children up. Had
It not been for his generosity and that
of his brother and sisters we should
probably have had no public library
for the next half century. Messis

ACTRESS' GOOD MEMORY.
Woman of the Stage Said to Be Per
fect in 220 Roles.
From tho San Francisco Call.
Miss Mary Nunnery, who is known
us an actress all over the coast, has
without doubt one of the most phen
omenally quick and retentive memo
lies possessed by any member of her
purtlculurly exacting profession, not
withstanding the generally received
opinion that theatrical people are, as
a rule, particularly blessed In the mat
ter of memories. It Is in reality by
no means a fuct, for some of the moat
brilliant stars In the dramatic firma
ment find It Impossible to Include more
than a dozen roles In their repertoires,
nnd even these ure obliged to restudv
If any appreciable length of time In
tervenes between the dates of their
presentation. Many of our most brll
llently Intellectual actora and actresses
ilnd that after yenis of severe study
their nblllty to commit their lines to
memory easily nnd well becomes much
diminished, sometimes to nn extent
which Is annoylngly inconvenient, this
being again, of course, tho remit of too
assiduous application. Tho case of
Miss Nannary, theieforc, is so unus
ual as to be almost, If not quite, with
out a parallel. While tho enotetn lead
ing lady considers herself ns well
equipped If siiu has a lepeitolre em
bracing fifty parts, our clever western
actiess Is excellently able to perfotm
a different rolo nearly every night In
the year, should she so choose, and
do so, too, without having recourse to
restu'dy. Miss Nnnnary at the present
time Is thoioughly familiar with "20
dlffeient plnvs, nnd Is letter pcifect In
her own part theiein. Her mind seems
to be of pecullaily Impressible and re
tentive quality, for anything that nil"
has once learned lemutns In her men
tal grasp from that time forth. It
has been said of this ehaimlng lady
that she has a "bllllon-vvnrd bialn"
and. teckonlng billions In the Amerl
an fashion, she doubtless can claim
this distinction.
Not only does Miss Nunnary remem
ber what she once learns, but sho
learns with unbelievable rapidity, as
It has been pi oven that the can com
mit, und coirectly, fifty "sides" of sev-enly-llvo
words each In the astonish
ingly brief space of fifty minutes. Such
sui prising feat tn this oven she does
not perfotm over-fiequently, but that
she is callable of so doing Is suscept
ible of dcmonstiation at any time.
i HER POINT OF VIEW Si
TIJ' w"p ' ll liroft-'sslonal man
I has to do so many things so
chilly which she would hasten
to avoid otheiwlse," said the young
woman at the conceit. "She must
entertain In order to keep in the swim
nnd secure the inteiest of her hus
band's clients or patients or pailshlon
eis. She must make no distinction be
tween HMi, iiesh or fowl and If she
attempts to divide the sheep fiom the
goats then will she legiet the day sho
was boin. If she doesn't make a dis
tinction she will regiet It also," add
ed the speaker telle, tively.
"Heio you ate: If you ask Mrs. A.
to a luncheon with Mis. B., the latter
will be Indignant at thus being bi ought
into contact with somebody she cin
sldcrs out of her class. If you don't
ask Mis. A. then sho will be furious
and you lose the new lug for the pi--lor
whleh her patronage was going to
buy. Whichever vou do jmi'll be sine
to iuo It. It's veiy hard to be a social
stiuggler when sou depend mi t.ij
practice of a husband In a piofestoii.
Tho wife of a lawyer, a doctor, a
pi e-ac her, 11 polltcian, or any piofes
slonal man Is looking for tioublc wh.-n
she starts out to be a social suct-ss,
whether she tiles to break Into so.ioty
with nn ae or goes about it in tho
most tactful way In the woild."
Now theio's a deal of nonsense In
that theory. If you like the advice a
certain lawyer gives, you will scaicelv
keep tab on the teas nnd dlnneis to
which his wife has or hasn't invited
ou. If you find a physician competent
and entirely satisfactory you will not
spito yourself by tef using to consult
him because his wife neglected to In
vite jou to preside at the table at one
of her leceptlons or because she hap
pened to omit you at a small gatheilng
of her most Intimate friends. You niv
decidedly moio likely to feel offended
If she endeavois to classify you ac
coidlng to her rating Instead of vour
own.
It Is a metty dlftlcult matter to
classify people until they aie dead, par-
ticuiaiiy women. They will not "stay
put." Invariably some of them will
wiggle out of the pigeon hole you've
labeled for their occupancy. You can't
stick pins thiough them und catalogue
them as you would bugs und buttcr
llles and If you must know people of
widely different giaJi? and yean. 3
entertain them In se-etlous rT is always
well to not do it In the same year.
Suppose a prominent coal operator
comes home and announces to his
wife: "My dear, Mr. Michaelovltch It-

morning, be sure you nk Mrs. Bo"v

nnd So to your luncheon. We sent a,
caso of beer to their house today."
How' ridiculous It ull would seem.
Women's soclat nftnlrs should bo
eliminated fiont the business Ride of
'life an far as possible. Tho wlfo of a
professional or nny other man should
not fuel obliged to follow tho old fash
ioned creed of endea voting to add a
few dollars to tho annual Income by
means of spending a great mnny dol
lars on n social function to please her
husband's patrons. Just nn soon as
cute! tnlnlng means the invitation of
people whom one doesn't drslro ns
fi lends, Just then alt pleasure Is at an
end. Almost any woman would prefer
to be omitted fiom nn Invitation list
unless she herself Is personally desired,
not from any business or political rea
son, and for nothing rlso but her own
personality. To be sur she likes to
meet congenial people where she is en
tertained, but most of nil Ehe enjoys
the consciousness of knowing that shn
Is there became her hostess really
wanted her. This Idea of Inviting poo
pie to one's homo except In tho most
formal way beciuse ono feels under,
social obligations Is n custom that
should be abandoned. One never need
be under obligations to undcsiiubld
acquaintances. It is nn easy matter
to send 1 egrets where Intimacy is not
considered pleuFjnt to cultivate. The
large reception or tea will meet all fan
cied requirements after that, and tlu
clangor of bringing ineongenl.il pcoplo
together at close range will bo ob
viated. The wife who feels It neccsary to
enteitaln meie acquaintances becauso
her husband's business may be Influ
enced will do well to wait until ho has
amassed such a fortune that she will
have no need for sucn considerations
in making up her list, or else to uso
her common sense and ask the people
she wants tegatdles of Influences. It
Is often a lire thirg for us to icincm
ber thnt other people have common
sense also and that they arc not nearl
ns often chagrined as wo believe be
cause of the omission of our distin
guished notice of their humble selves
socially. The c ode of "invite and yo
shall be Invited" Is one that at times
has a sort of boomerang effect, and
I cue that at any late 3 given entirely
I too much teveicnce. It Is such a com-
j fort to know people and there am
' mnnv of them In Scranton who hiv
small icgatd for tho loaves and fishes
'and who do not llml It necessary to
either grovel or snub In tlnir social
'Mreoi, but who bilng Into their cir
