''- vr , , w'$33$3$33$S&y ?: Week's Social News TIIHItR mny be Country clubs that nro richer than tho Scranton Country club; that have more frllle, more luxury, more hllnrlty. There may bo those where younpr men ami women can drink more wine than In jsnod for them and can play bridge for money and play golf on Sunday, but nowhere on the face of the earth can there bo a Country club which for ex quisite loveliness of mirrounrtlnRH sur passes ours this June day. To ro to the upper Units as the shadows lengthen over tho velvet mvard and tho encircling forest seems to close In more softly dense In the twilight, and loolt across to tho fair mountains rising In a violet shy-line to tho eastward, Is to see a picture as rarely beautlfut In senti ment as n Corot. Clnlt Is languishing just now nnd ten nis seems to bo tlrst In favor, but the chief point of Interest Is the metamor phosis of tho club house. "Work Is rap Idly progressing and It Is with Im patience that tho members await the completion of tho now structure. The change Is very marked. A long, low line, classic In architecture, broken by two gables, forms the front facade. It Is attached to the present building and extends one hundred and fifty feet to the left, with a depth of about forty feet. A pillared porch finishes the entire length, and tho dark pine trees form a romantic sotting ns they cluster close to tho raves. The gallery portion will contain the bowling alleys. The first room adjoin ing the old part will be another living room, connected with the one so pleas antly fitted up at present. At the rear will be the ladles' parlor and lockers. It Is here that the porto cochcre will now bo located a far better arrange ment than tho one which has been In vogue. Some day there may be a sun parlor where tho present rather awk wardly arranged porte cochcre Is Biacpd. Tho dining roqin is to be enlarged, taking In the kitchens and butler's pantry. There will be apartments ar ranged for baths, smoking and loung ing rooms, and on the second floor five sleeping rooms for men. At the ex treme end of the new building a squash court will bo made. Altogether tho im provements will be a great satisfaction. The expense will be about $23,000. Next week will be a week of wed clins?. Several of these are of great In terest to the leading social circles of the city. There will be three handsome church weddings. The first Is that of Miss Bertha Powell and Mr. P. C.

The appearance of Miss Grace Spen cer in an orchestra concert on Monday night Is eagerly awaited by a host of friends who love to hear her beautiful voice. She will sing a superb pro gramme, and It Is not hurprlslng that the advance sale of scats has been very large. Miss Spencer has been so graci ous about aiding all charities nnd giving freely of her time nnd tnlent for tho many demands made upon her that tho community should show Its at prcciatlon on this occcaslon. The Sym phony orchestra deserves the hearty support of all music loving and public spirited citizens. Such a fine organiza tion, and Its leader, should receive more than ordinary recognition. Mrs. E.

If you are Inside nnd have nil your smnll world for frlendiv It Is hnrd to realize that anyone crth come hero and bo treated coldly, If, ho really be longs where he would find himself. I I heard of a stranger vli6cntno hero a few months ngo. She was a true gentlewoman, accustomed to tho most refined society and nt ease nmong peo ple of tho utmost distinction, for with Mich had she mingled from childhood. She was a widow, with grown sons, nnd hnd much leisure. Tho picture she drew of those early months wns almost tragic In pathos. "There were weeks," she said, a look of sad reminiscence In her eyes, "when not a person entered my homo. Sometimes I used to think I could not endure tho loneliness, the misery of It I who had been among so many who knew mo well and, I believe, loved me. Tho people passed nnd re passed tho house, but none over came In. Sometimes I used to sit by tho win dow with my watch and, looking out, count those who passed In a given space of time. It was a poor sort of amusement, you sny, but It was some thing which seemed to havo In It a per sonal touch with those who did not think of me, nor wnnt me. I recom mend It to any one who Is lonely In a strange city. You cannot know what real loneliness Is until you aro truly shut out from companionship nnd yet surrounded by a careless multitude. I don't blame tho people," she added. "Oh, no. I have many friends now. They nro very nice to me. There are so many lovely people In Scranton, and they tell mo they arc sorry wo did not meet cnrller, and accuse themselves of neglect. Indeed, It was not their fault; I realize that. They all had their own Interests In life and It needs time to take now friends Into your heart, but just tho same, I wns lonelier than over before In the big world." This city Is full of strangers. They are all around us. Some of them aro really just as respectable ns ourselves, and yet we probably go past them ns they passed by tho man who fell among thieves on that road to Jericho. There are many reasons why this Is so, and It Isn't our fault, but still, perhaps It wouldn't contaminate us If we would sometimes sov a kind word or show some little courtesy to the strangers within our gates. I shall never quite be able to forgot tho pathetic little pic ture of tho lady with her lovely, gentle face, looking out and counting the peo ple who went past her door and never stepped act oss her threshold Into the lonely home. Saucy Bess. Musical Gossip. PROF. T. nEnVE JONES has long been lecognlzed as tho best author ity on pianoforte music in this city. He has a wonderful command of expression and his technique ami execu tion have attracted far more than local fame. Mr. Jones' work ns a teacher has been unmistakably successful. He 'is a gold medal pupil of the celebrated Poter cellii School of Boston, and In many ro- V IEWS OF A WOMAN IT IS A very bad thing for a town to acquire tho strike habit. It is also a very bad thing for it when large manufactoiles, such as the steel com pany .move away. That splendid gleam in the southern sky meant more than tho mere picturesque emblazoning of clouds and tho scattering "Into lllght tho stars before them from the Held of night." It meant more than the fiery breath fiom the great fur naces like volcanoes In the gloom, for when the flames went forth nightly and tho skies reddened with the glow, the people for fifty miles knew that there was work for thousands and comfort and plenty in thousands of homes. We miss tho?o faithful fires In the dark nights. But more than this we miss the gongs. Do you over realize what a still small voice tho flro alarm hns nowadays? No more bellowing and roaring like all the fleluls from tho nether world. No more rousing stran gers at midnight in a terror at the pan demonium. No more deafening roar at daybreak nor sudden fierce on slaught of sound at noon. Why, ono can sleep until tho middle of nexf. week now In placid ease! I wonder how wo like it. That Instnn taneous bursting forth of wild, un manageable noise used to bo some thing fearsome, but how very soon wo grow nccustomed tions. How very soon we forget how the old low-enved house looked on n certain corner and feel that the fine new Imposing building running up to eight stories of pompous Importance has always been there. How very soon we grow used oven to graves Instead of warm, tender hnnd-clasps nnd the beating of loving hearts and the flash of happy eyes only we never like to contemplate tho catastrophe that will occur when one day our own hand clasps loosen and our own hearts fal ter anil our own eyes darken. We teally expect to go on forever nnd It Isn't pleasant to think that tho world will over get used to having us out or It. But there are the gongs, or rather, then they were. There are only two things which seem to bo tho better off for strikes, They are tho gongs nnd the mules. The latter uro having a perfectly beautiful time just now, and the former are certainly more desir able silent than otherwise, They say that strungers find Scran ton a dltllcult place In which to make friends. I have never thought this view correct, but perhaps the hospitality und friendliness of a few years ago nro undergoing a cliunge not pleasant to VLife -die? - &3HffiHHHH9 T. REEVE JONES.
