GERMAN CLUB.

Mr.. EpIToR-The German Club had
two magnificent occasions this week.
One furnished by Mr.. and Mrs DR..
T. H. Leary and the other by Mr.. and
Mrs. H. Fl. Page. On both these we
were charmed at the display of beauty
and excellence. DIR. T. FL. Leary
lives about six miles in the country
and the distance precluded attendance,
on the part of the ladies, in full ball
dress but, because of this, the evening
reminded us of The social events of
other days, remote from ours, but
remembered as pleasant history. The
night was delightfully."- spent and hap
py hearts turned from the old mansion
at late hour filled with pleasant i'm
pressions which will last for many,
many days.
Tuesday night the Club met in
splendid array at the residence of the
last mentioned lady and gentleman, and
were permitted to present themselves
IN full dress. The ladies were lovely
beyond description and the men were
up to their usual standard of polite
excellence. Mr. and Mrs.s Page de-
lightfully entertained their company
aided by their dear little boys, than
whom, none are more to be loved and
admired.
