"nnr,itnii:,"'nnutr' 3?ut0onal w T1IIJ NUW Y13AII ball surpassed the most vivid hopes of Its pro moters. Many elements enter Into that pie-emlnently satisfactory i (suit. In the llrst place, It Is said that It mote nearly realized tho original Idea of the Bachelors, several years ago, when tho aim was to havo a danco where con ffcnlal people In tho select circles, with their holiday guests, could bo enter tained In a manner nt once Irreproaeh ublo In clcKntice and ct to tho hlirh ett degree enjoyable. It was not sup posed to l)ii so unwleldly In extent but that ncnily every one would bo ac quainted with each other, and yet would Include more than could bo well apcommodate.d In u private house. In this lespect tho ball given Tues day night at the Bicycle club was singularly well managed. About two hundred guests were present, thus at no time causing1 a crush. The floor was by far the most faultless over had at these annual dances, and the nat ural advantages of the house wcro ob vious. Tho reception rooms nt the fiont mado a radical change In the programme, as elaborately arranged as they weie. An opportunity was af forded the patronesses to greet all present, and tho result was a delight ful reception preceding tho dance, ,when people lingered In the luxurious rooms to an unprecedented extent be fore descending1 to the ball room. TIip beautiful decorations provided by Decorator G. W. Walking attracted unlimited admiration. The Oriental charm of the reception rooms con trasted with the light and delicate draperies which gave the ball room a (lower-like effect singularly lovely In Its completeness. The music has been tho subject of much compllmentaiy notice, Hnuer surpassed himself, and, as can be read ily observed from the appended list, the programme was up-to-date: 1.

Waltz, "Wedding ot the Winds" Hall Great credit was given to William llanley, Jr., who catered and whose .erlco on this occasion was notably excellent. Tho floial decorations by Clark were superb. Jlr. F. S. Godfrey, of the Jer myn, loaned some pieces of furniture from his Turkish room to add to the effectiveness of the reception rooms. Tho committee patronized home Indus tries on this occasion, as even the In vitations came from a Scranton bouse, that of Reynolds Brothers. Messrs. lllalr, Jf. B. Fuller and AV. J. Torrey ate receiving1 continual congratulations over their brilliant success. Tho Country club tea, given New Year Day at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. T. II. Watkins, on Monroe ave nue, was a great success. The affair was directed by tho entertainment and house committee, largely attended, and was most enjoyable. Mrs. J. Benjamin Dimmlck and Mrs. Henry Belln, Jr., presided at the tablo in the dining room. Mrs. W, W. Scran ton was at the lemonade table. Mrs. H. H. Brady, Jr., Mrs. C. B. Sturges, Mis. T. H. Watkins, Mrs. i:. L. pU ,lcr, assisted In entertaining tho guests. Kefreshments weie served by Misses Marjorio Warren, Eleanor Moftnt, Gertrude Coursen, Ruth Archbald, Gladys Watkins, Grace Law. Anna .Sturges, Margaretta Belln, Dorothy Warren and Edith Holland. Music was furnished by the Mandolin club. Governor and Mrs. Stone gave a New Year reception on Tuesday, which was attended by several Scianton peo ple. The careful tasto of the Gover nor's wife was never more rleerlv shown than in the dining room nr lanjjements at this time. The color scheme was the holiday hue of red. A huge centre-piece of polnsettas, with their flame-llko blos soms and green foliage, gave a most effective touch to the table, Tho llower-pleco was huge in the space It occupied, but not In height, as the biilllant design was heaped in a low mound. Candles, with shades of a similar hue, Btood at intennls at head and foot of tho table. The chief fea ture, however, was tho great bell p pendlng from tho chindclicr nnd formed entirely of jed loses tiro meteor set as thickly as possible. Abovo It were caught very wltlo led ilbbons, which fell to tho tablo coiners nnd In loops to the floor. A piotty noto of color wai a big cut-glass dish nf red cherries, most tempting In their luscious ripeness. Mrs. Htone wore a lovely gown, al most oriental In Its richness, of yellow silk In a soft, heavy weave, the over dress drooping to a point over fluffy pleating and the lower edge finished In long scallops, thickly lncrusted In gold. Tho bodice was a bewildering mingling of lace nnd gold, with tur quoise panne velvet applique. A tur quolso necklace, passing round tho neck several tlmc3 and coming1 low on the corsage, added to the charming effect. It was an exceedingly becom ing costumo for our Governor's band somo wife, In whose dark hair wore yellow roses to complete tho pictur esque ensemble. Mrs. Stone Is an Ideal hostess, whoso graolousncss to her guests causes them to linger long beyond tho conventional hours. She was a very happy lady on Tuesday afternoon, and tho gover nor's usually Immovable countenance beamed expansively. Why not? Have not he and his gentle, friendly wlto suffered unlimited abuse during the whole length of tho administration? Has anybody had a kind word for tho Governor who has stood eo flrmly by his pilnciples? Hasn't he been ma ligned and vilified for two years, and why shouldn't they be glad that tho days are drawing near when public opinion will set Its npproval on the stand ho has taken, nnd by the vic tory In Quay's long battle show to the wot Id the low, malevolent purpose of the attacks on every friend of tho man who Is soon to come Into his own again? The people who ha-e wondcied why It seems necessary for Pennsylvania to havo such tall governors have about come to the conclusion that In the present case It Is In order to afford an exceptional supply of backbone. Several members of tho younger set are attending school nt Farmlngton this year and have had guests for tho holidays. The visitors nnd their hos tesses have been entoi tallied lavishly during the mid-winter vacation. Last Saturday afternoon Miss Elizabeth Blair gave a luncheon.

HER POINT OP VIEW S TT1IAT on earth Is the ueo of Yy malting resolutions?" de manded n Scranton woman of a friend yestcrdny. That method Is good only for children under twelve. They have Illusions, bless them, which may lead them to keep such Intentions ns 'I rcsolvo to mind mamma this year,' 'I will not ask for two pieces of pie,' 'I won't tease brother,' "I will study my lessons ono hour overy night.' But for grown tips, especially women, what's tho uso? In tho first place we'd never keep 'cm In tho world. Just let ma resolvo to do any thing nnd that's a suro sign I won't do It. Just lot me eny 'Now I'm going to do thus or so next Tuesday nnd you can mnko up your mind that some member of the family will get pneu monia or we'll havo a visitation of out of town relatives or theio'lt bo a cyclone all on purpose to lnterforo with my plans. "Dear me," sho continued, "I heard a real good woman say tho other day 'I'll go to Plttston tomorrow If tho Lord will,' and I noticed that sho put that proviso In every time. Sho be longs to n church which makes n spe cial fad of that form of phraseology. It does sound very holy and sorrrehow glve3 you a tako-off-your-hat feeling, but I've wondered whether It helps her to carry out her plans with any more accuracy, or If she minds being disappointed nny less on account of It. "Of course," she went on, "I don't suppose you mind things so much when you firmly believe tho Lord In tervenes on nil occnslons, but some how I dorr't believe I'll ever get to tho point where I can really and truly feel, down deep In my heart, that an overruling Providence sends a cold In my head to prevent mo from going to a AVilkes-Barre dance, or arranges to have Sarah Kllcn, our cook, fall down the kitchen steps and sprain her ankle In order to make me postpone the thimble tea I was going to have this week. I'm more likely to attribute It to my carelessness In having on a thin T2ton Jacket that cold morning and to Sarah Dllen's fixed habit of wearing a shoe with a loosened sole. "Then," this frank young woman continued, "There's nnother thing about good resolutions. You never make the ones you should. You say to yourself, 'I resolve to iret wp an hour earlier every morning In order to do thus or so,' when you know In your Inmost soul that you won't do unythlng of the sort nnd that what you really ought to do and should firmly and unalterably determine would be to stop flirting nnd belm? snappy before breakfast. This reso lution buhlness Is nil a farce ' Doubtless It is a solemn thing to stand on the threshold ot a new cen tury and look down the long corridor out of which a hundred closed doors lead Into unseen rooms, many of which none of us will ever see. Wo wondc what they contain, these fast shut chambers and Instinctively wo draw aside tiro cil of memoiy which con ceals tho shadowy house of the past and look Into the vacant places out of which wo have stopped for the last time. Thoie Is the one which we first opened and out of whose windows we first saw the world with marveling baby lsiort. There Is that white one with the seciet mark on the lintel which let out love Into our life, and there, too, Is the one always In thought wearing the Insignia of woe which held behind Its gloom our llrst great sorrow into whoc piesence we walk ed one day when hope was bilghtest. How empty and little seem those looms nlicndy growing dim In our vision How trivial seem most of these shadowy Joys, whose ghosts lin ger Vet and wanly smile In the fnmlllar corneis, how faintly lift the outlines of even those griefs which were leal enough then. L'pletetus said once that If wo look upon prcscrrt griefs as It they had long- been past we mny better bear our woe, and somehow wo half agree with him while there ate noire present to agonize us. And thus In gazing1 down tire dim distance which Is fast vanishing we fall ugaln to wondering about tho mysteries which Ho beyend the dooi-j In the long corridor before us only one of which slips ajar In tho veiled ll;ht. Wo can fie but a little way Into the misty dawn 81031111?; In at tho cur tallied window, and the shapes arcs lantastio and strange. Closer and deeper we p.'t-r Into tire gloom. Is tlu blurred ilguro approaching us out of the Invisible the one we love or the enemy we have lied tluough tho years to escape? Is that hand, lighter than tho obscurity, stretching towaids us the gifts we havo long coveted ambi tion's fulfillment popularity gain happiness or the maikcd coin of dis appointment, loss or suffering? Is that long shapo In tho sombre corner a banquet table whose iose-red lights ixi e concealed, or a collln with the can dles at bend and foot? a a a a a ' a a a a a ut a -a a a a Great Sale of DRY GOODS The time of our annual inventory is near at hand ; in order to reduce stock, we offer the people of Scranton and vi cinity the opportunity of buying Dry Goods of good quality at the Lowest Prices ever quoted in this city.
