planning for big blowouts' New-Years Eve
1t is not easy to give a why clubman should
rejoice over the departure of old years more than
other mortals do. unless it be that that night
they have good excuse to offer their wives for

of the gala nights of the year w. f. Fuller has
announced that there will be some things worth
seeing and hearing in the Union League house on

ment Committee has arranged attractive pro-
gramme, which includes piano selections by Henry
