Christmas night given by the wives Of the
members of Marmaton Lodge A. r. and A. N.
that being the occasion of the annual election
and installments of officers. And here mypencil
almost refuses to work, not from lack Of lead,
but lack Of ability Of the wielder to frame
words suitable to express the amazement Of
the members on beholding their better halves
whom they left at home with their kitchen
aprons on, all present, dressed in holiday At
tire with look on their faces that plainly said
~ always told you that could keep o secret"
and we were forced to admit that they had
proved beyond doubt that they could keep q
secret for Six days counting from Monday when
the arrangements were made. But we pass to
the supper, aud here am a failure although
with knife, fork and spoon your correspon-
lent was pronounced grand success The
supper was set in the Dawson building with
two tables extending almost the entire lenght
Of the building and these were loaded down
with cakes of almost pyramidical proportions
and cakes piled upon cakes. And there was
nince pies, apple pies, berry pies and lot Of
pies that did not get to sample, and can't
!ell what kind there were. Pickles and jellies
md sauces with tea and c,fee. All. almost
'orgot to say there were turkeys, yes turkeys Q |
half dozen more or less and chickens and beef,
asst but not least fresh oysters cooked and raw,
With their several accompaniment The ladies
had each invited some of their friends and the
house was well filed. After all had eaten there
we're taken up more than seven baskets And |
now. ladies think have proven my inabiI. |
ty TO write NJ the supper in proper form
md hope yOn will pardon my effort. PENCIL.
