seiiernl rcliieiiriiutloii of nil the bounty

'yvltutlons were Issued thin week. They
our the embossed Inslunln of n !'
osslnR: tho encircled IcbcihI, "Tho
ichnlors, founded 1SSS." They arc ele-
vt In design and finish and are from
. ocnl house, thnt of I'rcndci'Kast.
I'lio committee consists of Messrs,
Mortimer H. KuUrr, .Tames Ulalr, Jr.,
Albert G. Hunt, Paul H. Itelln and S.
llrlnckerhorc Thornc. The patron sses
are: Mrs. James Archbald, Mrs. P. H.
Helln, Mrs. Henry H. I'.rady, .1r., Mrs.
J. UunJ. DlmmlcU, Mis. Kuwaiti U. Ful
ler, Mrs. Edmund H. .Terinyn, Mis.
Frank E. Piatt, Mrs. Nuth. 0. Holiert
pon, Mrs. AVllllam "V. Scranton, Mis.
Thomas H. Wntklns.
The b.ill will be hold on New Year's
eve, and the new armory will bo elab
orately decorated for the occasion.
Many out-of-town Rtiests will bo en
tertained In the city during holiday
week, with the ball us the grout ob
jective point. The younger set will be
largely In evidence, and tho Farming
ton girls will have many guests. Among
those who will entertain house parties
will bo Mr. and Mrs. Kverott Warren,
Mr. and Mrs, J. Henl. Dlmmlck, and
others.
Congressman and Mrs. Connell will
celebrate their golden wedding anni
versary on Friday evening, January 3,
when they will have a lariru leceptlon
at their homo on Vino street.
Tho testimonial concert niven In
honor of Mr. Charles Doorsam was
certainly a great artistic treat. The
programme will go down Into history
as one of the few amateur affairs
which know when to come to an end.
It was not too long, but just long
enough to make everybody wish there
could bo more, which is a lemarkable
thing In Scranton, where so many en
cores are demanded. To Professor J.
M. Chance is due much of the eiedlt of
the concert, for he has worked lade
fatlgably In its Interests, both as man
ager of tho arrangements and leader
of the splendid chorus from "Carmen."
Mr. AVentzel again distinguished him
self In the Toreador song. One missed
the exceptional dramatic action which
rendered his work so effective in cos
tume, but he sang, it seemed, even
better than in the Opera Carnival.
Such ii voice is truly a Joy forever.
Mrs. James P. Dickson delightfully
entertained a company of friends yes
terday ut "Urao Side, her beautiful
country place in Dalton. The guest of
honor was Mrs. Harry Howman Rey
nolds of this city. The Scranton party
left on the I o'clock train, returning at
G o'clock and as no one ever cares to
miss an opportunity to visit the grac
ious lady who was hostess on this oc
casion, the guests enjoyed every min
ute of the happy afternoon. Mrs. X. Y.
Ijpet and Mrs. T. C. von Sturch won
high scores. Among those present
were: Mrs. YV. W. Scranton, Mis. J.
Benjamin Dlmmlek, Mrs. L. S. Oakford,
Mrs. T. II. Watkins, Mrs. X. V. l.eet,
Mrs. William Matthews, Mrs. K. R.

The many friends of Miss lCsther
Rowland are rejoiced over tho con
tinued absence of any symptoms which
Indicate an unfavorable result from
the dreadful Injuiles which she suf
fered a Tew weeks ago. Crave doubts
were entertained regarding the preser
vation of one root, but It Is hoped that
such danger Is now passed. Should
she recover entirely It will seem but a
miracle, Tor It will be remembered thnt
she was frightfully lacerated and
crushed beneath a street car.
Miss Rowland Is so dearly beloved
by a very large circle of young people
with whom she has come into close
contact during her work in the Young
Women's Christian Association, that
the outcome of her accident Is awaited
with anxiety by an unusual number.
After her resignation as usslstant sec
retary or the South Side branch, a pe
tition signed by the members was pre
sented urging n reconsideration. It Is
to he hoped that she will be able to
re-enter the work In which sh'e was so
ofllelent, with unimpaired activity.
Those who have been privileged from
time to time to visit Miss Cordelia
Freeman's studio In the Council build
ing always regard these visits as oc
casions of great pleasure. It Is a
beautiful room most artistically fitted
up and bearing on every side the in
signia of delicate and cultivated taste.
Miss Freeman is an art connoisseur
and has collected many pictures of
rare merit. These, witli tho curios and
treasures which she has assembled in
her pretty studio, make the general
cfrect exceptionally charming.
The presence of Mr. Russell at her
muslcnle last week was appreciated
by those who heard his 'cello playing.
He is a protege of Francis Fisher Pow
ers and has promise of a career.
Mrs. Hdward Xettleton has been fet
ed much since her coming to this city,
and few brides receive a warmer wel
come. The second and last of her re
ceptions was held on AVednesdny at her
pretty home in Green Ridge. Mrs.
Xettleton, .Miss Hill and Miss Anne
Watson assisted during the afternoon.
Mrs. Frank McClowan entertained
delightfully at cards on Thursday in
honor of Mrs. Edward Xettleton and
Mrs. Corbett of Ringhamton.
Miss Elizabeth Cook, who has been
the guest of Mrs. T. F. Penman for the
past three weeks, will return to her
winter home In Florida next week.
Miss Cook has renewed acquaintance
with many friends during this visit

woman whose busy brain would work
on Sundays at something reasoned
that if the minister insisted on brliiR
liiK a death bed .soeno Into the church,
she didn't care to see It or hear about
it, so she constructed that memorable
bridesmaid frock. You've seen It.
Such 11 dear us It was and so was tlio

Then we carry alone our troubles a
weary load and the sermon serves
nicely for an oblljrato to the doleful
monotone which drones through our
heavy brain. Wo turn them over and

way that not uvea a .Methodist does

ugly and nulling with hateful claw

In a bit of the sunshine of forgetful
uess ami happy thoughts, what a
change could be wi ought,
Hut instead of this we dress up our
puny, tiresome little wretch of a
grudge and coax him along to church
and nurse him tendcily while the or
gau slugs lu triumph and the minister
prays, "Forgive us our trespabsea as
we forgive them that trespass against
us" and the perhon for whom we
cheiisli the grudge doesn't euro a bit.
All this Is wandering far afield from
the subject. What was the subject?
t)h, yes, strikes ami boycotts, et cetera,
but wo are so tired of them. Let's talk
about something else; there is Chi 1st
mutt, for Instance. Kverybody Is com
plaining that it is coining so sgon this
year. Why do the years grow so short
from Christmas to Christmas? They
used to be so long and drag so slowly
over the twelvemonth. We used to
wish them to hasten, because It seemed
that the Vuletlde was so late. Now
we never are "caught up." There is
always something unfinished, alwnys
somebody forgotten, always something
we meant to do, that Is not done. Once
we hud time to sit by the lire and be
glad that the happiest birthday in all
the world was drawing near. Then we
looked out at the snowdrifts and shiv
ered a little to think of those who could
not sit by a big fire and be happy, and
the days seemed long and sweet.
Now wo never hit by the tiro and
muse one little minute, for weeks be
fore Christmas. We tear madly about,
trying to find and do Impossible things
for people with Impossible tastes, and
we are never ready for Christmas,
never. It must bo tho difference in the
weather. Once there was snow for
weeks before Christmas. Then It was
good to sit by the lire and bo glad that
ono could stay Indoors and have all the
time there was. Now then- is no snow,
and we rush about lu the sprlng-llko
air, and procrastinate and make-believe
that Christmas Isn't coming, until wo
tread 011 Its very toes and biiuiP our
stupid noses ag.ilust the sharp-edged
spruce trees and the holly, It Is all the
fault of the weatherman.
