The Good Templars, because their lodge membership is increasing fast.

The gossips, because several weddings are on the tapis.

The JOURNAL editor, because a committee of women are to call on him today.

The young ladies, because the ice cream season and its pleasures are at hand.

The carpenters and builders, because Tower is on a genuine boom.
