After something more than an
hour had been spent in card playing,
Mr.. f. NJ. Waite requested the men,
bers to form circle in the parlors,
as he had been requested to perform
some presentation ceremony, and to
make a few remarks on the first
meeting of the club. After all had
been seated Mr.. w., commenced by
saying that "the weekly meetings
of the club had in the past given
him great pleasure, and that he
hoped our future gatherings would
be as pleas lntly conducted
HE was happy to know that after
several months of separation we
were together again, with no link
in our circle broken by mishap or
misfortune and added"
"But what gives me still greater
pleasure tonight is the fact that we
meet as guests of our esteemed and
generous host and hostess in their
new and beautiful home. And L
know, said he, that | voice the SEN
timents of the club when | say
that | trust this beautiful home
which they have built with 80
much pleasure and care, Will prove
to them q home of content.
ment, of happiness, health and
prosperity in all the years that
may be left them"
The vigorous and continued clap
ping of hands showed how earnestly
the sentiment was endorsed. Mr..
Waite, then, in humorous way,
presented some burlesque gifts pre-
pared for the occasion, to Mrs. j. q.
Wright in honor of her birthday.
The appearance Of these, with their
ludiciOus notices, brought down
the house in peals of laughter. The
last one, a casaba-mellOn, being in
scribed, "To Mrs. j. G. Wright,
from her patient and long-suffering
husband" Inasmuch as Mr..
Wright was wholly ignorant of the
donation, the effect can be imagined.
The rules of this club prohibit the
serving of lunch, but burlesque
collation. was distributed which with
the souvenir napkins created great
deal Of amusement. The club de-
parted to their homes voting unani-
mously the evening as one of the
many to be pleasantly remembered.
