North End" Tuesday Evening ETC.,
but now, having settled down to the even
tenor of its way, the title, T. A. NJ. T. A. NJ.
has been chosen, and henceforth the world
will recognize it as the proper and only one.
The meaning of these enphonious sounds
they cannot be called words-which are
equally liable to be taken from the soft
Italian or the Nederlander's tongue, sig
Nifty what is to be kept secret by the club.
Mrs. j. ID. Hutchings is the right hostess,
indeed, for her elegant new home, and she
left nothing undone to make her guests
comfortable. The large, elegantly fur
nished parlor, the cheerful, glowing fire
places, merry company and an accom-
plished, affable hostess-what more could
be wished for? The players were tonight
unusually gay, the laughter louder and en-
jcyment at its height. Besides, the sup
per was elaborate, and board more festive
to be found would be difficult. Misses
Matte Fabrique, Minnie Skinner, Ada
McVicker, Mamie Meade, Talbert, Millie
Morrison Kate Murdoch, Mr.. and Mrs. ID.
V. Walker, and Messrs. Charles Miller,
Harry Gordon, Miller, j. l.. Meade, Will
son, G. w. Clement, jr, composed the
company.
