The Capitol Square gatea, after cob
?tantly swinging for many years, bave
reclined at eaae against the fence, to one
side of the scene of their former activity,
ever *lnce Oovernor O'Ferrall. with an
appreciation of the fitness of things, or?
dered their removal las* winter
Like a drunken man against a lamp?
post, they lean on the railing In a very
dilapidated way, resting and rusting.
They are aa unsightly now ae they were
ungainly and useless when revolving in
their places.
The question is asked forty times a
day. Why are those ugly old gates left
there? Who can answer?
Female Club Goers.
The Commonwealth Club threw open
Its doors to th" fair sex yesterday. Be?
tween the hours of 1 and 4 o'clock yester?
day the handsome Commonwealth Club
?a,i< entirely leeerted by tbe sterner sex,
while the gentler Influence of :h<* fashion?
able dames and maidens of the Weet End
reigned supreme within its hospitable
walla.
From basement to garret they wander?
ed and rhatted, discussed the latest blt
of gossip, lounger! on th>* comfortable di?
vans with a* much ease and grace
as the old. st club member, and tn tn1
hidden mysteries nf the wonderful club
life of loving husbands wer.- unve'l ?1
by the prying eyes of the matrimonial
dames, and many will be the excuse that
will be shattered when hereafter belated
hubby endeavors to explain his "how
came you ?o" condl'lon.
A beautiful luncheon was served In the
handsome dining saloon on the seeond
floor. The decorations were potted palms,
ferns and roses. Beery delicacy of the
season was prepared tn the most ap?
proved manner possible, and the dainty
epicureans did full Justice to the well
laden board. From the first cold entree
to the crisp salted almonds and the black
Java dripped coffee, the feminine follow?
ers of Lu- 'illus "piled the early feast''
minus the "late carouse" Wt high spirits
Fashion waa present, bedecked In her
finest feathers. Indeed. I do not speHk
extravagantly when I say that a hand?
somer galaxy of women were never gather?
ed around any other festive b. ard than
were assembled in the <" .ninonweulth > ? -
terday. Nothing but praises were heard for
the club, and the hospitality of the en?
tertainers. With only bright memories of
the few pleasant hours the female contin?
gent of Richmond left the club.
