THE ST. GEORGES STANDARDIZATION STAR
| Your Saturdays edition contains an article
| which says: zone OF the most delightful stag
| parties OF the season was given on Thursday
| evening by the genial secretary of the st.
| George, MIR. G. b. BrOokes, to the members OF
the society, at his palat1al residence, on Sth
| street northwest. Champagne flowed freely,
| &C." AS my name appears IN the list OF those
| who were there, would respectfully say that /
| was not present, and, fearing that outsiders
| might infer from the remarks that st. Georges
| society was formed for cOnv1viality and good
| time generally, feel 1t my duty to state as an
| officer Of the society, that 1t was not organized
| for any such purpose; that "the members OF the
society" were not invited there as such, though
| some OF them were present.
Respectfully, F. WIDOWS.
