the season was given by Miss Helen P.
Young, of 5609 Winchester avenue, to
announce her engagement to Mr. Geo.
B. Otto, of Bound Brook, a graduate of
Rutgers College and member of- the
Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
The table was very-effectively deco
rated in pink and gold, the centerpiece
consisting of a low white Jbowl filled
with pink flowers- and pink candles.
In the middle of the bowl was a gilded
. telegraph pole from the cross pieces of
which were stretched tiny golden
wires, each one ending In another
smaller replica of the center pole.
Propped up against the poles were tel
egrams containing a row of numbers.
Master Randolph Young, dressed as a
messenger boy, passed a card to each
guest, all of which when put together
deciphered the telegram announcing
the engagement.
The guests weye: Misses Emma
. Smith, of Philadelphia; Mildred
Brooks, of Los Angeles, California;
Peggy Neal, Naomi Young, Kathleen
Neale, Miriam Claypoole, Mina Pitti
nos, Clara May. Dorothy Goudy, Cam-!
ville Godfrey, Leonore-Myers, Alberta
Williams and Elizabeth Gray, all of
, this city.

man their change of address before
i leaving the city, as much valuable mail
is delayed in this way. All the carri
ers have cards that they will gladly
„ . ---give to you to fill out. *

FORMER SHERIFF :
NOT A CANDIDATE
Frienship For Opposing Candidate
'
and Opopsition to Factional Differ
ence Cause of Action.
Former Sheriff Joseph' R. Bartlett, of
this city, will not oppose former Chief
of Police of Atlantic City Malcolm B.
Woodruff as a candidate for Sheriff at
the coming primaries. Mr. Bartlett, in
a statement issued during the week,
declares that he has been urged by
many of his friends to enter the con
test, but that he has decided to remain
out of the race because of his friend
ship for Mr. Woodruff, and in the in
terest of a united Republican party at
“the coming elections.
Mr. Bartlett's statement in full fol
lows: :.V.'.S
Realizing the time is at hand to
declare my intention as to being a
candidate for Sheriff, since many
friends have offered me their support
to that end, I have, after considera
tion, decided not to be in the running.
“X feel that friendship counts for
something, and such being the case as
regards Mr. Woodruff, I shall give my
time and efforts to make him the nom
inee. The importance of this cam
paign is of too vital interest to allow
factional differences to enter into the
contest; and a vote should not be lost
for the Organization in the Second
District or county.
"Again thanking my "friends for
their assurance of support and hoping
that we will be a united party, I am,
"Very sincerely,
"JOSEPH R. BARTLETT.”' 'i
