She had} a “swell” wedding and started on her honeymoon} in-one of these twelve-cylinder cars that cost| enough to start an old-time country bank. | “A function like this,” said her pa, who’s in} his fifties, “takes us old-timers back to the days} when we were courting ma. | “In those days, I got to work at 7 in the morn- ing and didn’t quit until 6, so it required a lot of} hustling’ to “get to my future father-in-law’s house before dark, in time to play a few games of: croquet. Iwas a sport, so I took along a bag of! popcorn. \ ow > 5.00! - 6.00} “Jf it happened to be a hot summer night, wel took:a trolley. ride. .The street.car was small and it rocked'‘a ‘Jot. “It was open at the sides, with| seats runiing elear-across, and the conductor came along the running-board to collect fares. “Later on, as I got more prosperous, I followed the fashions and bought a piano-box buggy with red side-bars. If you drove one horse, you were in style, but if you could afford a spanking team you were a real sport. That was the Packard car; of its day. | “Ma’s skirts’ dragged on the ‘ground in her courting days. She had’a wasp-waist and leg-of- mutton sleeves and:a ‘jaunty little hat ‘the size of a cantaloupe. : | “We didn’t have movies, A star entertainment was an ice cream social at the church. By special arrangement, old-time ballads were sung, illus-; trated with colored slides. “T remember that I proposed to ma after danc-; ing ‘The Blue Danube’ waltz. “The real thing in honeymoons in those days was to take a wedding trip to Niagara Falls. If! you had the car fare and it were 1898, you honey- mooned at the World’s Fair in Chicago and mar- veled at the first moving picture and the first phonograph, with Tom Edison going around pre- dicting great improvements. { “We visited ma’s Aunt Cora in Chicago and I eee overhearing her say to the neighbors that a ‘married well and got a good provider.’ i “One morning ma and Aunt Cora wanted to do ome shopping, so I slipped out to the fair grounds nd saw The Streets of Cario in the Midway. “That was tame compared with the stuff that’s pulled off now, but it was the height of daring for! ‘an old-timer. ‘ . L “And, you know, that exhibition on the Midway ‘was a turning-point in American life. It marked he breaking away from the Puritan ideas, and jwas the forerunner of all this modern jazz, sensu- ‘ous dancing and knee-length skirts. { “The young folks‘of today think that’ the court: ing couples of 20, 30 and 40 years ago had a tame ftime.

A ROTARY CLUB LUNCHEON Tt has fallen my lot to address audiences of pretty nearly every kind in America; and if I were asked to name those types which seemed most strikingly to reflect. the life and character of the country I should be disposed to cite five examples. (1) an assembly of students in one of the large co-edueational uni- versities; (2) a gathering of polygot work people, the new Americans, in almost any-industrial: city ; (3) a Sunday evening church forum; (4) a chautau- qua lecture crowd in a small town; (5) a Rotary club luncheon. And, certainly, no one knowing all these would want to say that the fifth was not, in a very. particular sense, an expression of, the national mind and habit—or of what, in the jargon of the moment, is called ‘100 per cent Americanism.’’ No English speaker, at any rate, who has enjoyed the experience is in danger of forgetting it. $ As the brethren assemble there is a crescendo of uproarious fellowship; much thwacking of shoulders and bandying of Christian names—the most high- brow parson or lawyer is‘Jack or Bill when once he has joined the circle. The Rotarians are mutual boosters; you are not unlikely to find the tables set out with specimens of a new product in the ‘‘ putting over’? of which some member is interested. As the meal begins the chairman sounds the note of hearti-| ness. As it proceeds the visiting Rotarians are in- dividually welcomed, with an appropriate .senti- ment; and in response each man rises to say a word about himself, his business, or his city—usually tak-| ing oceasion to add that he’s all right, and so are they; that business is looking good, and altogether | | the world is a “‘bully’’ place. Without a song leader the affair would be in- complete. At every pause, in the proceedings he will start a chorus, and by the time the speaker is ealled upon the Rotarians are keyed up for twenty mnutes of informative or hortatory eloquence, whieh | will be all the more successful if devoted to some} aspect of the religion of business. The Rotary club| is quite a momentous variant of the last century’s; revivalism.
