size Of the class, but It is expected that
there will be thirty or forty men in 1t. A
considerable number have already declared
their readiness and eaRarne,c to taste Of the
camel's milk and honey at lie on the con-
fines of the desert. 1t is thought that some
will be found in the towns Immediately ad-
joining the city who will desire to Join the

their applications as soon as possible.

Der of delegates will be in attendance, and

held another of its house socials last Tues
day evening at the home OF the present
chief, l.. e. Lucas, 1917 Locust street.
Though the weather was very unfavorable
the fact that Mr.. Lucas is noted for his
hospitality. and that a pleasant time would
be assured, was sufficient to induce a large
number Of the members with many of their
friends to exert themselves to be present.
Various methods were adopted for the enter
tainment of the guests The Misses
Patch and Getzchmann at inter
walls presided at the piano. Miss Hattie
Getzchmann rendered several very pleasing
vocal solos. The literary selections were
assigned to Master William Clark, who very
creditably acquitted himself In the rendition
Of a few choice ~recitals and declamatlons.
Marion Snowdew. a bright little girl, not
yet In her teens, completely captivated those
present with her juvenile songs. Mr.. Clark
tested the ingenuity OF all for a short time
with a few neatly constructed enignas and
witticisms.
Some one present observed that the date
