The Baptist sociable Tuesday night was
a very novel affair. Each person present
received a conversation card with twelve
numbers, and at the end of the pro-
gramme gentlemen placed the name OF
the most attractive fair conversationalist
in a hat. Ladies did the same with the
name of the gentleman whom they de-
cided could say the most pretty things
and who had most fetching ways. Great
was the rivalry between DR.. Hunt and
Rev. Lamkin. jealousy the opponents
watched each other, and when the rever-
end gentleman endeavored to make sure
of a vote by giving a su%gar-plum to his
partner, the doctor would follow it up
with a cough drop OF the latest manufac-
ture. Placed in a quandary the ladies de-
c'ded upon a dark horse, and a dashing
young nomber OF the rwenty-one club
was awarded the prize. Miss Beecher
was the fortunate young woman for whom
the most votes were cast. The prizes
we're two cut glass bottles OF pertumery.
