Edison is one of the principal nembers of the Woman's Club of Orange, N. J., which has just set a nw standard for the evening gown. Mrs. Edison appeared recently at a dinner given by U Illumina ting Engineers' Society to her husband on his sixtyninth birthday. J his photograph was taken at the. time, the Orange Club sent out this notice with every invitation: "The subscribers have so generally co-operated with the Social Commit tee in raising the standard of dancing that the committee turns to them again to ask their further co-operation in establishing a proper standard of dress. This request is made owing to the present extreme style of evening gowns, and also to foiestall the necessity of criticism by members of the committee." If you want to be a model man, 'Tib simple goodness knows, Just wear a lot of swagger togs, And strut around and pose. New York, May 12. Yes 'tis true the worm will turn and this summer the silk worm has turned its efforts from the fair to the sterner sex.

Currey shore, while boat races between ship? ! t crews, and boat trips along the water j 'front kept visitors currying to take in I all the Bights. The feature of the day t ,was the dress parade, at 1 A. M. by ) j battalions from the liattffcships New j Jerseys, Rhode Island, Nebraska,' and j jthe Marines. Following this each j battalion gave an exhibition drill, un- 1 til the drivers descending to the har- j j bar's bottom, and exhibitions of tor- I pedo firing and recovering drew the ', crowds again to the bay. Dancing and receptions by the wives of the naval officers attracted the younger set to the battleships Georgia and Virginia. On these great dreadnaughls the elaboiate rallrooms were decorat ed and marine and cadet bands played At four o clock, the United States torpedo boat destroyer gave an ex hibition of "man over-board,'', show ing the method of rescuing a sailor in danger of drowning. ' - A field radio set was in operation on the recreation field,, and private messages were transmitted for thu visitors. The most popular exhibi tion of all, which drew throngs to Piers 4 and 4 A, was the submerging at high noon, of the submarine L 1. As the huge grey craft slipped be neath the surface, the crowds on the thore cheered. BLUE MOXDAV (By Dr. K R. 1anSels) So many persons suffer from what may be called blue Mondays, they fel depressed and debilitated at the first of the week when they should fe?l alive and alert, ready f .r a week's work. Also there is mure sickness on Mondays than on any other day; Mon day is the doctor's busi-sst day. Has is ever occurred to these persons that the cause of the Monday depression may be found in the hearty Sunday dinner? Surely we should, after a day's rest, be quite fit on Monday morning. Yet at this tim.'. no Fmall per cent, of persons habitually find tr.emselvcB below par in every way. Spoiling a Vacation If we look into the matter vusef ui ly we will find that most persons counteract the good effect of their rest and recreation by some sort of i;.ii!,v id u?e, usually jtorm-h a'oii.e. In other words, it woo! i seem that most persons, to have a good time, must be overenting or overindulging in some nay. When oor overworked business in in goes on vaci-.tioii he selects a luiel oi resort where iiie "eats" are i. -jiidant; M he goes en a fishing trip, a bottre or two and a good supply oi tobacco in the fi'lmig outfit A-ill rob .'ie trip of much 'of the real benefit.
