mer several Literary meetings were
planned by the members of the club
and this was the first of the series.
As our space (mentaD is limited, we
can merely mention few of the
selections which were most admired.
The Bon "mott' of the evening.
"rhe Song of the Flower Girl, ="
rendered by Miss Lily was well
received. At one time she was on
the "brink" of failing, but being
"boyd" up by a word Of encourage
ment "swift" !" ly recovered her com.

titled, 20. frank and tell the

unable toappear "Blillicent" her re-

of New York City was admirably
portrayed Next, a stirring recita-
tion, "The Robber Lady of Edin-
borough Castle" by MAY Steele"
was encored several times. 1t is
needless to mention that the author
of this is "a scott" isch lady now
living in Port Jervis, In places, the
dialect was hard to understand Eve

faction of oil. The "Robber Lady"
was so we'll liked that several selec-
tions following did not meet with
quite as .much approval as might
have been expected. In fact, sew
eral boys began TO "Hlssam"
This naturally created a distur-
bance and the "noyes" grew so
great that one young man stood up
and tried to quiet the people At
this juncture a "pin chot' through
the air and hit the young man ON
the head, entering it at an "Angle"

shame to raise "Kane" in this fash

we all know and "Riviere" quiet

a "Clearman" nearly muddled
things up again by some of his re-
marks. We might add that Frank
popularity went up higher than a
"Kyte" after this little occurrence
Following this exciting incident was
a prosy lullaby which tended to put
some of the audience to sleep. The
"Seaman" noticing this wake

to disturb the "Slambia" of those
"Young" people who were in dream

She said "Reilly" couldn't do Sc

siasm. She refused to sing again
though as she hadn't the "Hart" tC

musical programme The guests
were then invited to plrtake of an
oyster and wine repast at thi
