OF the Elegant Toilets
Last evening at Odd Fellows Hall the in
Ltial meeting of the Friday Night Club took
place. Expectation regarding the first meet
ing had been running high, as it was gener-
: ally known that its formation had not been
unaccompanied by difficulty, although the
latter. was now a matter OF the past. The
sensible and practical members OF the new
club recognized the necessity OF union ana
wisely entrusted the management 10 the
most capable pair of hands available.
Gradually the mountains of difficulty
melted away. and last night there was no
. cloud discernible at the brilliant scene in
Odd Fellows Hall. Ii was not the elabor-
ate character of the decorations that con-
s;ituted the.ehief charm. for, following latest
Eastern fashions. the establishment was on
the Simplest scale compatible with pictur-
-esQueness. lovely chrysanthemums in
: clusters, allernated. with palms, on the
= stage border, backed by curving tri-colOr
steamers and blue p0rtieres. Crushed
strawberry draperieS hung around the gal
lery panels, while lanterns and more
.sireamers swayed gently in mid-air. The
doors were slightly masked with blue and
pink folds. studded with large golden stars.
