One of the pleasantest novelties in the
way OF social events during the week was
the dinner given to the Thirteen club Fri
day evening at the residence Of Mr.. nnd
Mrs. c. w. Mcdonald. 6l9 South Tenth
street. The dinner was given by Lieutenant
Charles Mcdonald, assisted by Cliff Fields
The club is composed of thirteen bright
| fate-defyng young men, ana the effort is
made at all social events brought about by
the club to do violence to as many popular
supersttions as possible. The dinner was
given on the thirteenth day of the month
and on Friday. There were covers laid for
just thirteen guests. The turkey that
adorned the center of the banquet table
weighed just thirteen pounds. The number
thirteen was in evidence in all of the fur
nishings and decorations about the room
wherever and in whatever manner bright
ingenuity could suggest. The dinner was
served in thirteen courses, and at the end
cigar boxes containing just thirteen cigars
were passed around, which were smoked
while the young men fumbled with the little
piles containing thirteen kinds of nuts and
confections surrounded by thirteen tooth
picks. While the young men were in the
midst OF their banquet the house was in
vaded by the members of jolly society of
young girls known as the c. b. C. BIS and
| the event given an additional social feature.
| ne members OF the Z. Is. CluD present were.
Misses Genevieve Wickham Zoe Hill, Babe
| Troutman, Madge Hollenbeck Maud Bescy
Mary Waite. Cora Albright and Miss AL
bright. The members of the Thirteen club
besides their hosts were: Louis Squire
Frank Pinney, Frank Zurmuehlen, Tuck Fol-
som, Thad Edwards Herbert and VIII
Pardy. Bob Wallace. Fred Murphy, Earl
Beardsley and Roy Besley.
Many novel election bets have been paid
since the fatal Tuesday, but none have
| brought more pleasure to all concerned than
the one that Mrs Il. r. Mathis paid on
Tuesday evening. Mrs. Mathis was an ar
dent Bryan supporter, and made a wager of
an oyster supper with Peter Smith tina:
the silverite would carry the election. The
supper was to include the members of both
families, sixteen persons in all. Mr.. Mathis
is passenger engineer on the Union Pa
cihc, and naturally took a deep interest in
the outcome Of the wager, and still deeper
when the time came for paying it. Their
cottage home at 1l05 Fifth avenue never
contained a merrer or happier gathering.
The supper was not confined to oysters
but partOok of the nature of banquet.
Among the invited guests were Miss Nellie
Bell and Mr.. Louie Chambers of Omaha.
