Boston newspaper women are confessedly confess-edly and self confessedly bright, but all of them are not yet up to he ways and wiles of the metropolis. Several of the leading lights were in attendance at the anniversary breakfast of Sorosis Monday, a number of them coming over several days earlier to see a few of the sights of the town. Tbey were entertained entertain-ed with liberal hospitality breakfasts, luncheons, dinners, receptions and theater thea-ter parties, etc. "With characteristic Boston independence, independ-ence, however, a few of them decided to devote one evening to an outing on their own account. After much discussion discus-sion it was finally decided to dine at Delmonico's. Five of them started out from the Waldorf Wal-dorf one evening with that object in vipw. Thv ti'l"d majpsticnllv through the Filth avenue eutrance of tiie'faiuous restaurant, but were immediately confronted con-fronted by a male being with an imposing impos-ing expanse of shirt front, who calmly informed them that they could not be admitted. The blood of the Puritans was at boiling boil-ing point in a minute. What, they, the representatives of Boston's intellect, culture cul-ture and intelligence, denied admittance to a New York restaurant! It was not to be borne. Were they not welcome at Parker's, at Young's, at the Vendome and at othor shrines of Hub hospitality, and should they be denied entrance here? An explanation was demanded.

It was after the mystic hour when no woman could be admitted within with-in Del's sacred precincts without an escort, es-cort, and no exception could be made even for such distinguised guests. Meekly Meek-ly they withdrew, having acquired a new wrinkle in the way of New York's customs. Over what they said let the veil of secrecy be thrown. What they they thought may be left to the Imagination. Imagina-tion. New York Telegram. xne sum of $1,370 is rather a high price to pay for a turkey dish, yet this is the figure at which one was knocked down to a purchaser in Penn township at the sale of personal property of Levi Geiss. The dish is a rare old piece of chinaware, beautifully ornamented, and was purchased pur-chased 20 years ago at a sale by Mr. Geiss for $2.50. Each of his children expressed ex-pressed a desire to have it, and as they could reach no agreement as to who Bhould be the owner they decided to put it up at the sale of the other household effects. It was started at 10 and run np rapidly at $20 a jump until it was awarded to the youngest son Peter at $1,870. Reading (Pa.) Dispatch. |
