prizs. an elegant solid oxidized silver sugar
tongs, was awarded to Mrs. McConneil; the
second prize. a solid silver bon bon tongs,
was secured by Mrs. Perkins. This, the
last meeting Of the club until after Lent,
was made more exciting from the fact that
Mrs. Chadwick, on this occasion, was to
givsa prize to the member getting the high
est score for the term, and Mrs. Cannon
q prize to the second highest. Mira. Can
non received the frat prize. a beautiful sill
yer and gold cream spoon, and Mrs. Chad
wick the second, u superb silver and gold
fish fork. After a hard fought battle the
ladies enjoyed quail on toast, Turkish
coffee. olives and a lot of fun over tho
awarding of the special prizes. which Incl
dent caused a slight carmins on the moon.
and there was some talk of applying for a
dammanus cofferdamus or something of
the kind. At least they want q recount and
think Of submitting the matter to the gov
ernor, as the clubs number ia the cAbalistic
sixteen. ~"
One lady made a score of even ninety.
and contends that she should have received
the grand prize. taking as precedent the
min members of the legislature and one
member demanding the legislative prize.
Finally the matter was compromised by de-
Gliding to snow ball the two grand prize
winners and await the finale of the daily
senatorial iasco before proceeding further
in the fight for a fair count.
The ever enjoyable Empyrean club dances
continue to hold their own. The member
ship still increases and new applications
are coming in constantly. At the meeting
two weeks ago a majority of the members
agreed TO give a domino party. but on con
sideration, it was decided that the plan
might not work 30 well as Was expected In
the beginning, consequently there was no
change on FRIDAY nipns ION inc lsaais.lon
