yesterday; at its meetings about 100 clubs
were represented Miss Wheelock is an

THE players were arranged at four
| teen tables in two sections each, each set
of partners having an opportunity to try
| their skill against every other pair in
| the opposing team. Two hands were
played at each table to start with, and
none of the ployers had to move, whether
arranged north or south or east or west,
| until fourteen hands were got through
with. Then they changed about, and an
other set of fourteen hands completed the
| match"

| of the Alabama Cadet corps, and thus
in a measure expressing their filial love,

the hayward and erring and words of
encouragement and incentive to all, have
