up in the hall and standing room being
at a premium way into the ante
| chambers. Invitations had been literally
mailed to the many friends of this
prosperous order and it was early
evident to the arrangement committee
that few Of the favors Of an ''inyite"
would be left unused. Among the
prominent guests from outside places
present on this occasion was the Rev.
Father Van Hootegem, of Merrill, who
during the literary exercises gave
short, witty and pleasing little talk.
