Dobbs Ferry to the Fore RTING-PARLORS, making a nominal charge for admission into their privacy, have been suggested ere this; but it has remained for the Dobbs Ferry Welfare League to institute a spooning-parlor—or rather cottage—in- to whose precincts the amorously in- clined may wend their way without pay- ing. There are dark corners there, with upholstered sofas and other adjuncts necessary to the peace and happiness of couples on a summer evening. One's pet place is always open, unless Billy Smith and that horrid little Jones girl have preempted it; and one may pursue the pathway of bliss undisturbed by intruding papas or small brothers. This institution is an eminently prac- tical one. We b places where one may drink in private, eat in private if one doesn’t mind the music—dance uncensored, indulge in a quict little game without interference, if we know the right thing to say to the man at the door; but till the Dobbs Ferry Welfare League leased the corner of Main and Cedar streets there has been no such beneti- cent place as a private spot devoted exclusively to the convenience of the victims of Cupid's marksmanship. Park benches have their policemen and mos quitoes; the Best Room has its Kid as anyone who has tried it will know, extremely inconvenient; we cannot all afford automo- biles. In this sad predicament, the announcement of the open ing of the Dobbs Ferry Spoon- ing Cottage comes to be wel- comed with paeans of joy. It is a recognition of the inalienable right of youth and maid to spoon when they please without Ict or hindrance, and as such is a val- uable addition to the national spirit. of independence and democracy.

Hearing an unusually loud crashing of brush in the Moon Lake woods, Wednesday after- noon, Sherm Spoor, who was getting some much needed sleep under a tree, quickly woke up and caught sight of Muley Cannon, not far off and creating a great deal of dis turbance by jumping and thrashing around with both of his feet.
