St. THE BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE. NEW YORK, THURSDAY, APRIL 8, 1915. Brooklyn Society There was gypsy encampment on the Heights last night in a most astonishing place, the Woman's Club on Pierrepont street. Romany Chis and Chals were there in great numbers, and of a quality that would have much interested the late George Borrow.

They were a strange race of gypsies, for instead of horses and carts they all used limousines. The officer on the beat did not quite understand it until, as one of the prettiest gypsies of all alighted from her car and scurried inside, he was told, "She's the girl that's giving the party." For a "party" it was. a costume dance, with only one sort of costume allowed, given by Miss Marion Peterson of 746 St. Mark's avenue, Mr. and Jonathan Peterson's daughter.

Miss Peterson gave this gypsy dance at the Brooklyn Woman's for Miss Elizabeth Simonds of Charleston, who is visiting her and has been seen at many entertainments. The affair was a complete novelty, a great success, and in their gypsy clothes the Brooklyn girls looked prettier than ever. There was a professional fortune teller (a real gypsy) and a gypsy exhibition dance. Gypsy decorations abounded and there was plenty of "local color." The balcony overlooking the ballroom was turned into a forest made a perfect gypsy scene. A costumed orchestra played.

Very nearly a hundred young men and girls were present, among them: Miss Theda Kenyon, Miss Agnes Bigelow, Miss Thyrza Spadone, Walter Marvin, Seneca D. Eldredge, Miss Helen Clarke, Miss Amy Warren. Herman Sartorius, Miss Mildred Kelsey, Franklin Birdsall, Roger Whittlesey, Edward de Selding, Edward Reichert of Manhattan, Horatio King Gray, Edward Vollmer, William Vollmer. Esther Smith, Miss Eleanor Wild, Miss Helen Kene, Dorothy Hamilton, Henry Bristol, Miss Helen Hinman, Miss Edith Shaw, Mervin Wilson, Chester Palmer. Miss Eleanor Evans.

Gay Evening Kitchen Shower For Miss Catherine Stafford. Peterson's Gypsy Dance Miss Elizabeth Simonds.

Miss Carolyn Stafford gave last night at her home, 490 Mansfield place, an evening kitchen "shower" (an unusual event, for showers are practically always purely feminine and take place in the afternoon) in honor of her cousin, Miss Catherine Elizabeth (Miss Bessie) Stafford, who is to be an April bride, marrying Howard H. Snyder. "shower," with all the advantages of a shower, proved the jolliest of dancing parties, and its real feature did not "come on" until midnight. Then dining room of Miss Stafford's home, that had been mysteriously closed, was thrown open. and bridegroom and bride had to march in to the music of a wedding march.

They found a supper table with decorations of a large Kewpie bride and bridegroom in a bower of roses, bride and Killarney roses everywhere. But. otherwise, the dining room looked like Miss Stafford's kitchen that is to be when she becomes Mrs. Snyder. It was filled with kitchen utensils of every sort and nature, enough to supply at least sevcritical brides.

eral, very, guests hurled confetti and streamers at the future Mr. and Mrs. Snyder, and the shower's second half was even a better than the first. Easter lilies and daisies decorated one of the drawing rooms and American Beauties and pussy willow the other. The dance orders were white leather card cases.

The bride to be wore a gown of white satin with a blue velvet bodice. She carried pink sweet peas and forget-me-nots. The hostess, Miss Carolyn Stafford, was in yellow crepe de chine with black velvet, with violets. The company of the evening comprised: and Mrs. Willis E.

The Brooklyn Eagle, which has done more for the good of Brooklyn than any newspaper or Individual, does not intend to let the proposition to eliminate county lines go through with a rush. It is against such a scheme and its readers have been warned of the contemplated centralization of all city, borough and county departments in Manhattan. The Eagle, on Tuesday, said: "Nobody worries much over the idea of abolishing the coroners, though there are two sides even to that ques tion.

The county doesn't need coroners to maintain its dignity. They are filling legislatively created places. It is for the wisdom of the lawmakers to determine whether the places ought to exist. Brooklyn, we are sure, is ready to stand as a unit against centralization by the minimizing or the wiping out of the counties as civil divisions. She has resented much of the centralizing of the city government.

She wants the borough presidents to have more power, and not less. She has reasons and can give them for the faith that is in her. The Constitutional Convention will have enough issues on its hands without any attacking of the counties. Time and experience are against the plan attributed to the Mayor. The letting of well enough alone is one of the highest duties of those who are to remake the fundamental law of the Empire Democrat Herold, Tompkinsville, S.

Another effort to close various streets in South Brooklyn to traffic for the use of children at certain hours of the day and for the establishment of a playground near the Federal League ball grounds was begun last night with a report to the South Brooklyn Board of Trade by Max Arens, chairman of the Parks and Playgrounds Committee. J. William Haviland Jr.

presided. Mr. Arens told the members that the alarming number of children injured in the streets of South Brooklyn calls for another desperate effort to close a few streets for play. He said the Board of Trade can pick out streets this purpose near vacant lots or factory buildings. In order to have a playground, on the extensive lot bounded by Fifth avenue, Third street, Fourth avenue and Fifth street, which now stands idle, Mr.

Arens said he would see Controller Pendergast and suggest to him to free the owner of this property from paying any taxes on the lot, on condition that it be given over for the use of children. He. suggested that the plot may be called Battleground Park, to commemorate famous battle on that ground in the Revolutionary War. Arrangements for the entertainment for the benefit of a better Prospect Park Zoo, which will take place on April 29 and 30 and May 1, have already been completed, reported County Clerk Charles S. Devoy.

He said $1,200 has already been collected for the affair. The board decided to purchase twenty-eight boxes at Prospect Hall for one of the nights when all its members will be there. Last night, also, the members heard two women speak in favor of woman's suffrage. They were Mrs. A.

Albany, April 8-For two days the Kings County Senators have successfully kept secret a row on the floor of the Senate that occurred Tuesday between one of their number, Alvah W.

Burlingame and his county executive chairman, Commissioner Jacob A. Livingston. Here is the secret: Tuesday afternoon, while nearly everybody was SO absorbed watching the proceedings of the Constitutional Convention that they almost forgot the Senate was in session, the Cromwell I bill to reduce the Board of Education in New York from 46 to 023 members, was called up for debate. Burlingame was in the midst of a fight against it when he looked around and saw Livingston out on the floor of the Senate talking to Senators. Aroused by the suspicion that Livingston, who has recently shown signs of favoring this measure, was stealing votes from him.

Burlingame became all attention. Livingston was engaged in a conversation with Senator Jones of Chenango. "Stop that," and get off the floor of the burst out Burlingame. Livingston, at whom the remark was directed. didn't budge.

"You have no right to be on the floor during debate. Get off or I'll call the attention of the Sergeant at Arms," threatened. Burlingame in a loud tone, now thoroughly roused by the incident. Livingston stopped and started for the gate: "I got a vote anyway," he said. CLEARY IN BROOKLYN? Former Town Clerk of Haverstraw Faces New Proceedings.

SOCIETY MINSTRELS DAZZLE BAY RIDGE Lively Show Wins Big at Bay Ridge Club-Many Song Hits. In a new series of songs, dances and jokes and a collection of costumes that was dazzling, to say the least, the Society Minstrels of Bay Ridge opened their fifth season at the Ridge Club, Ridge last boulevard and Seventy Tambourines second street, evening.

were the feature of the opening chorus, in which were sung a medley of popular songs. The girls were dressed in white satin Colonial gowns and the boys in satin and velvet suits of the same period. Francis W. Drewes, the interlocutor, sitting in the center, surrounded by his court, was a blaze of light in yellow satin and gold. After this first scene the "ends," Grace Dowling, Virginia Thomas, Stacey Wood and Arthur Eade, marched in, black-faced, and flashing the reddest of costumes.

Fred Schneeberg started the singing with "Dancing at the Cotton Ball." Grace Dowling sang "Settle Down in a One-Horse Town," which was followed by "Kentucky Babe," by David Taylor. "Night Time Down in Dixie," was sung by Charles 0gg and then Amy Main scored a hit with "Goodby, Girls, I'm Through." Arthur Eade had one of the funniest songs of the evening and he knew how to sing it. "You Can't Play Every Instrument in the Band" was his number. Edward Hermes, the minstrels coach, who was responsible for a great part of the evening's success, sang "When Grown Up Ladies Act Like Babies" in a way that made the audience forget they were watching amateurs. Miss Emily Knemeyer sang "Mammy's Lullaby" charmingly.

Another good number was a duet by Fred Schneeberg and Elizabeth McKay, singing "When I Discovered You." Some high cake-walking featured Virginia Thomas' singing of "Oh, Tennessee, I Hear You Calling Me." Ned Walker sang "Syncopated Walk." And last but not least came Stacey Wood with "Ring Dat Dinner Bell." But that was only part one. A merry musical medley featuring Pauline Merklein and Lawrence Markey and incidentally bringing in thirty of the prettiest members of the Junior Auxiliary, made up the second part. In the minstrel parade the company wore linen dusters and Tipperary hats in Old Glory colors. Then Miss Merklein and Lawrence Markey sang "The Same Sort of Girl," with a little bit of dancing. "I'm Going Back to the Farm" was a refreshing little song, showing six girls as boys in overalls and Panama hats and six in pink gingham aprons and sunbonnets.

Flora Allison op sang Little Bit of Heaven." Graham Townsend had this part of the programme in' charge. Mrs. Augusta Shaw Garrahan was pianist for the show.

Wrong thinking on the part of the people of a "certain nation, due to the striving after false ideals in its unlverities," was one of the causes advanced in finding an explanation for the European Armageddon last night by Dr. Charles Alexander Richmond, president of Union College, at the annual institution dinner at of the the University alumni of Club, the Manhattan.

There was an attendance of one hundred, most of them Brooklynites. C. L. Mead presided as toastmaster.

"Unlem we can impress effectively the paramount importance of the greatest of all sciences, the art of men seeing good in other men and of learning to live together in harmony and to the greatest advantage for all, 'education in a sense fails.

"I try earnestly to maintain my neutrality with reference to the world catastrophe now proceeding. We have, however, a melancholy example of a great nation gone wrong in its thinking because its universities have gone wrong in their teaching and ideals. We have an illustration of science run riot and turned against man." In closing, Dr. Richmond paid 8 tribute to the splendid work achieved by Frank Bailey as treasurer of the college, who, he said, had for the first time in the history of Union conducted its finances SO that the annual deficit. that had previously characterized its balance sheet had been eliminated.
