O'Clock this morning the beautiful club-
house vas the scene of most enjoyable
social event, combining whist tournament
and dance. ..r .a.".-
The Whist tournament began in the par
lors of the clubhouse at $50 o'clock and
continued until 1890 o'clock. The dancing
in the auditorium began at 10 o'clock. In
the tournament the South played against
the North. the players of the North re-
mainng seated and those of the East, West
aud South playing toward them. The play
ing was very interesting and some excellent
scores we're made. While the whist playing
was going forward in the parlors the young
people had begun dancing and with the
brlliautly-lighted apartments. the music,
the beautiful costumes of the ladies, the
picturesque groupings of the whist players
ana the graceful movements OF the dane
ors EilIi the building with scenes Of rare
beauty ana interest
The supper which was served at midnight
was another incident affordng upportuni-
ties for picturesque and brilliant groupings
of the guests of the occasion.
The saloon OF Caterer Black was all too
small for so large a company and tables
we've plgeed in the halls Each of these
tables was the centre Of laughing, joyous
group OF beautiful women and gallant men,
each apparently supremely happy and ex-
erting themselves for the entertainment
and happiness of the others. 1t is possible
that no more successful social event has
marked the post Lenten season.
The promoters OF the entertainment have
scored a success In every way and are par
ticularly well pleased with the enrichment
of the treasury of the Kindergarten Asso-
citation, for whose benefit 1t was given.
They were also delighted with the efforts
| of Caterer Black in furnishing and serving
