in good earnest. Quite discussion was
hel about electing new officers, but as
the present president, seemed quite de-
termined to hold the Office for life, it
was abandoned. A solo was rendered
j IN a style befitting the occasion by the
president Next in order was a fine loaf
of wedding cake furnished by the vice
president, to which all did ample justice
A report from the treasurer showed all
expenditures and receipts and also how

PRESIDENT, while the president presented
each member with souvenir of this
delightful occasion. One of the customs
of this society is TO celebrate the we'd

sometimes the entertainment is quite
unique. We understand a convention is
among the things contemplated by this
society in the future. -
