harrisburg Rotary Club's
Ladies' Night Dinner and
Dance BriJiant Affair
More than 200 members of the Har
risburg Rotary Club, their wives,
members of their families and friends
were present at the "ladies' night"
banquet and dance in the Masonic
Hall last evening. Thero was some
thing doing from the very beginning,
when the diners sang "Rotary," writ
ten to the tune of "America" by Mrs.
Anna H. Wood, of this city.
Rotarians and thetr guests had
many good laughs, too, during the
serving of the various courses because
the menu cards were designed to con
ceal rather than to reveal the nature
of the course to be served. "Spineless
sea fruit in birthday clothes," as an
example, were oysters on the half
shell; "dafflea" were nuts and "snow
bound" was Ice cream.
But the elaborate banquet was not
all that was In store for the ladles.
Each member of the Rotary Club
made some contribution to make
"ladies' night" an event to be remem
bered. Some confined their contri
butions to money and through this
gifts of gold hatpins were provided for
every lady in attendance. The hatpins
were decorated with an embossed
wheel, the symbol of Rotary.
Other members of the organization
offered gifts representative of their
business, while still others contributed
souvenirs to the extent of a market
basketful for each guest and the late
cars home looked ss though they were
the rear guard of a Christmas Eve
rush.
Each of the Rolarian ladies in at
tendance was given a numbered ticket
during the evening and at the con
clusion of the dinner drawings were
made and the fair guests were pre
sented with still other gifts, ranging
from a five-pound box of candy to a
mahogany desk. Insurance policies,
dinners attheCommonwealth, weather
strips, ice cream, candy, lawn mowers
and traveling bags were also among
the gifts received.
Speeches and Fun
Short talks by Mrs. Anna H. Wood,
William S. Esslck, a well-known Har
risburg Rotarian, and Glenn C. Mead,
of Philadelphia, a former president
of the International Association of
Rotary Clubs, were given when coffee
was served. Toastmaster John S.
Mu°ser, president of the Harrisburg
Rotary Club, introduced the speakers
after he had asked four questions, re
plied to by fellow-Rotarlans with a
vigor that brought smiles to .the faces
of the fair guests.
"Who has the highest ideals of our
country?" Mr. Musser asked.
"The ladies," came In an emphatic
chorus.
"Who is it that helped you burst
forth and succeed in business?"
"Your lady."
"Who is it that throws an even
mantle of white over our faults and
shortcomings?"
"Our ladies."
"And who are they that blend all
the beauties of our homes into soft
harmony, colors and comfort?" again
asked the toastmaster.
"Our Rotary ladles," came the re
sponding roar.
A Clever Toast
President Musser then called on
Mrs. Wood for a toast to "He." In
responding she said:
"In speaking to you this evening I
feel a great sympathy for the little
schoolgirl who was told to make an
address on parents' day. All went well
until she got upon the platform, when
she opened her mouth several times,
but not a sound came. 'Why, Mary,'
said the teacher. *Why don't you sav
what you are expected to say?' 'I
can't. I've swallowed my speech.'
"About two years ago the secretary
of the Harrisburg Rotary Club sent
out a circular letter to the wives of
the members asking our opinion of
Rotary and for any suggestions we
would like to make.
"I remember In answering him I
said the only suggestion I could maku
would be that they have 'ladles' night'
a. little oftener so we could have sonu.
of the good times we hear so much
about. It has taken two years for
i hat advice to be acted upon, but I
want to say in the name of every lady
here to-night that from the nature of
the entertainment you are giving us
we are only too glad that we possessed
our souls in patience.
"I honestly believe that every woman
here could; at a moment's notice, pick
out from the Harrisburg Rotary Club
one man who is the best, all-round
good fellow living in Harrisburg to
day. The only trouble is, there would
undoubtedly be about 200 different
men selected!
"I am proud to have my husband a
Rotarian, proud to have him so closely
alilliulcd with a body of men who, in
the best sense of the word, are princes
among good fellows!
"After all. it Is we women who
really profit most by Rotarianism and
it behooves us to stand back of such a
club, and now I propose a toast to our
Rotarians:
"Here's to our men! God bless them!
May the spirit of Rotary possess
them!
In helping each other, each man is a
brother;
So here's to our boys and God bless
them!"
That the men liked the charming
little speech was very evident from
the liberal applause with which the
banquet hall resounded.
Mr. Esslck to the l>adies
Mr. Essick was called on next and
he responded to a toast "She." He
was applauded many times for his
humorous sayings and funny stories,
and was accorded an ovation when
he concluded with a serious verse to
mothers. Mr. Essick's talk follows:
"The part In the exercises of the
evening assigned to me I consider a
distinct honor.
"In the days of knight errantry
lifting the helmet signified 'I am
among friends.' The'custom still pre
vails In hat-tipping by gentlemen to
ladies, and to-night we say 'Hats off,'
we are safe among friends.
"This evening I can stay for the
finish. Usually T get smoked out be
fore time for refreshments. Most Ro
tarians smoke; some because they
like it; some to spite their wives; and
some as a religious duty—burning
idols.
"We have you ladies with us this
evening, and right glad are we to
have you. Moreover, we need you
from time to time. Men who never
mingle with good women become
crude, coarse, cruel and uncouth.
"But I do not stand for the ln
separableness of man and wife. It's
i dwarfing to both. The other day I
saw a woman get angry because she
couldn't get into the same flap of the
storm iloor at the Post Office with her
husband.
"Men who are always wltli their
wives look so lonely—and their wives
so miserable.
"And yet man and woman are tho
only animals that are happier when
tied together.
"It is my duty to tell you women
how much the members of the Har
risburg Rotary Club honor and ap
preciate you.
"I am In a fix, though; my wife
told me what 1 must say and I've
forgotten what it was, and she's here.
"In the January issue of the Philis
tine, Elbert Hubbard says that the
first Rotarian was a monkey—now
you see what you've married.
"Mohammed said, 'A man's soul is
of greater consequence than a
woman's, In the eyes of Allah.'
"Another, however, has said, 'Man
was made when Nature was an ap
prentice, but woman, after she had
bad experience.' 'Her 'prentice hon"
she tried on man, and then she made
the lassies.'
"Certain it Is, that ever since the
episode In the Eden apple orchard,
men have been In a merry chase after
women, and, like Adam, blaming all
wrongs on them.
"Adam may have been a No. 1 man,
but when he whimpered his blame
on Eve he lost his right to respect
from either sex. I'm sorry that some
fellows pattern after him.
"Men talk about a woman's sphere
as though it had a limit—
"There's not a place in earth or
heaven;
[There's not. a task to mankind given;
There's not a blessing or a woe;
There's not a whisper, yes or no;
There's not a life, or death, or birth;
There's not a feather's weight of
worth;
Without a woman in It"
"Men have taxed ingenuity to the
limit in offering toasts to women—
" "Women—fair as the moon, clear as
the sun, and terrible as an army
with banners.
Thou source of all our joy and all
our woe,
Thou found'st us poor and kept us
so.
Perfect woman, nobly planned
To warn, to comfort and com
mand.'
"I like a toast once given by Gen
eral Otis:
" 'Here's to woman
Not above you,
Not below you,
Ever with you,
Because we love you.'
"Solomon, too, Is eloquent In the
praise of woman—
" 'Strength and honor are her cloth
ing—
In her tongue is the law of kindness:
She openeth her mouth with wisdom;
THE WOMAN'S VI j
THERE arc numberless men's clubs and organizations which are of benefit to their wives after the death of the
members. The Rotary Club differs from these in th > fact tluit it brings material aid to all those of the house
hold during the member's aetlve career. Three-fourths of the family income passes through the liands of the
mother or housekeeper. As Rotary helps business, business Increases the income and the housekeeper's hands are
more fully occupied. Hence, the wife is as greatly benefited by this club as her husband who is enrolled upon Its
roster.
With tliis fact in mind, the ladies' Nights given by the various Rotary clubs throughout the world are events
especially appreciated by the guests. Here the women meet and learn to know and understand better the men who
play so large a part in the life of their households.
Sympathy Is a powerful lever. Conscious of the co-op-ration of tlui wives of their brother inendiere, Rotarians
at such times let themselves drop into that easy masculine joviality and good fellowship which marks the dividing
line between men's and women's clubs.
The Harrisburg Rotary Club In the three years of Its life lias made rapid strides. As Glenn C. Mead or Phila
delphia. ex-president of the National Association of Rotary Clubs, said at the Masonic Temple last night the "Harris
burg boys are as wide awake and have accomplished as iiucli as any of tlie Rotarians In the country." Thev In
vlted their women relatives and friends to come partake or an excellent menu followed by dancing and entertainment
Then they sent them home laden down with gifts and souvenirs. Could any other men's club be more liosnltable
and generous?
The American man is alive to the advantage of advertising. It lins liecome a science and an art with film
Ilimitless opportunity for the expression of this art Is given by Rotarianism.
Again, a woman sees the deeper, the religious side to organization of this kind. The "Brotherhood of Man"
Is demonstrated in a modern, but none the less positive m inner. It forms a path to lead the steps of the dearest
and best in the right direction. This would be reason enough, alone, for women to approve of Rotarianism.
ANNA H. WOOD, Wife of Rotor lan Charles J. Wood, Jr.
The heart of her husband doth safely
trust in her.'
"Then the sage mentions something
about—
" 'Rising while it is yet night to give
meat to her household' (getting
breakfast)
Working willingly with her hands,
Making fine linen and selling It.'
"Women must be given credit for
most of the goodness in this dear old
world and she Is also chargeable with
some of the evil.
"Where good women do not rule,
there is ruin.
"Men are what you make them.
"Wink at our faults and follies and
we'll falter and fall.
"Insist that our life standards be
high, true and noble and we'll live up
to them.
"Shall you have your rights? Yea,
verily, as sure as sunshine.
"What are your rights?
"The privilege to choose for your
self without masculine intervention.
"How much do we trust you?"
"Well here's my bunch of keys, to
my body, my soul and spirit, my suc
cess In life, my honor among men, my
hope of heaven. Open every door,
look within and cast out what your
fair eyes count wrong in me and I
shall be clean.
"The toast 'She' includes all classes
of women, sweethearts, sisters,
daughters, wives and mothers.
"Some may never have known the
love of wife, sister, daughter or sweet
heart, but mother love is dear to every
one.
"Once in my life time I heard a
mother denounced most bitterly—
'twas In a rescue mission. A woman
had made an address and tried to
turn the thoughts of a crowd of out
cast men back to home and mother.
Of a sudden a burly man Interrupted
and cried appealingly—
" 'Don't mention mother to me,
'twas she who taunted me for refus
ing wine. I drank it and It ruined
me. My mother was my worst
enemy.'
"Such mothers, fortunately, are
few.
"Women friends, permit me then
this toast:
" 'We've drunk to fame and fortune
boys,
We've drunk to one another.
We've drunk to all our loved ones
boys,
Let's not forget our mother.
We'll throw away the wine boys,
And all fill up with water
We want nature's pure nectar boys
When we are toasting mother.
Here's to the love she gives us boys,
Here's to memories of her.
I'll give the toast, drink hearty, boys,
Here's'MayGod bless all mothers.' "
Mr. Mead's Address
Mr. Mead, of Philadelphia, follow
ing his introduction by President Mus
ser, told of the beginning of the Ro
tary movement In Chicago when a
number of businessmen got together
for social talks. The men met at each
others' offices and In this way the
name "Rotary" was affixed. From
Chicago, the idea was carried to the
Pacific coast and thence all over the
country and into many other parts of
the world. He told of the great bene
fits to be derived from the meetings
of Rotarians in which the men get
together and discuss business condi
tions and work for the welfare of the
community. He commended the ob
servance of "ladles" night" and said
that, although his club In Philadel
phia had not as yet honored the ladles,
plans are now being made for an
event similar to the one held last
evening. •
Governor Tener was also slated for
a short address, but he was unable to
be present. He attended the funeral
of ex-Governor Beaver yesterday and
did not arrive In Harrisburg until too
late to attend the affair.
At the conclusion of the toasts, two
magicians, Rotarians from Pittsburgh,
Dekorste and Anderson, entertained
the crowd for a half hour.
One of the features of the evening
quite interesting to the guests was the

roll call of members. Rotarians were
not given their true middle names,
but In place was substituted the busi
ness in which each was engaged.
The Masonic Hall never before pre
sented a prettier appearance than it
did last evening. The walls were hung
with festoons of . flags and bunting.
Potted plants and cut flowers added
greatly to the attractiveness of the
scene. During the banquet and for
the dancing which followed late in
the evening, Updegrove's Orchestra
furnished music.
Much Praise For Secretary
The arrangements for the elaborate
affair las tevenlng were worked out by
the secretary of the club, Howard C.
Fry, and he has been receiving the
congratulations of his fellow members
all of to-day. Never In the history of
the organization has such a success
ful event been held. Mr. Fry," of
course, had the hearty co-operation
of President Musser, the entertain
ment committee and of every mem
ber of the Rotary Club, for they all
aided in making the event a memor
able one.
The prizes won by the Rotarian la
dles' eighty-three in number, were
ready for delivery last night as soon
as the winners' names were known.
However, not all of them were taken
away because of their size. These
may be procured by the Rotarian
ladles presenting their cards to the
place of business by which the gift
was donated.

HYIII WILL MIKE
SPEECH ON BOOM
He Will Have Something to Say
About a Former Mayor of
Harrisburg
Indications that Intense factional
bitterness is to mark the campaign
for the Democratic nomination for
Governor were supplied yesterday In
sharp clashes between friends of City
Solicitor Michael J. Ryan and Repre
sentative A. Mitchell Palmer, says the
Philadelphia Ledger to-day. Charges
that Mr. Ryan's candidacy was a
movement of the Old Guard for the
capture of the State committee for
trading post purposes were made by
reorganizers, while members of the
State committee were accused of send
ing over the State defamatory litera
ture against Philadelphia's City So
licitor.
While the dates for Mr. Ryan's tour
of the State have not been decided
upon, the first speech will be delivered
in the Academy of Music in Philadel
phia. The City Solicitor's followers
intimate that it Will be a vitriolic at
tack upon the reorganizers, with
Vance C. McCormick as the special
target, because of his declaration that
the Ryan campaign "bears all the
earmarks of a Penrose bltpartisan
scheme to weaken and embarrass the
Democratic party in the State."
This intimation of a deal Mr. Ryan
characterized as "sewer politics," to
which, he said lje would not make a
reply.
"I will meet all the charges of my
opponents when I make my speeches
to the people," was all he would, say
on the subject.
Intense activity marks the work at
the Ryan State committee headquar
ters. Conferences are numerous and
literature is being sent away to all
parts of the State.
There already is a wide breach be
tween the Democratic State committee
and the Ryan State committee. The
Philadelphia telephone wires were
surcharged yesterday with a heated
conversation between the two head
quarters, in which the short and ugly
word was passed.

My Meals Don't
Hurt a Bit
A Little Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab-J
let Will Aid Your Exhausted
Stomach to Digest Any Meal
Isn't it a real joy to see children
eat? There Is almost a ridiculous hu
mor about It. The same joy that at
child feels at meal time should be ex
perienced by "grown ups" and would
be If they would only do as children
do.
The work, worries and woes of adult
life exhaust the digestive apparatus
and nature very often Is not allowed
time or opportunity to renew or re
pair the exhausted organs and
ploted digestive juices.
WclT \\ luita You Think o' a Big Feed
Without Pain?"
A Stuart's tablet goes Into the stom
ach like food. it contains nothing
but natural digestive elements and
when at work in a weak stomach It
aids the worn-out gastric glands, sup
plies the right mixture of stomach
juices and under the action of the
stomach It thoroughly permeates all
the food. Thus when the stomach
work is done the meal goes into the
small Intestines in better shape to be
assimilated by the system.
One element of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets is so strong and efficient that
one grain of it will digest 3,000 gralna
of mixed food such as meats, vege
tables, grains, fluids, etc.
The simple habit of eating a Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablet after each meal will
readjust your digestion in a very short
time so that you will no longer need
assistance.
