One OF the most unique as well as pleasant
social events OF the week was the annual
dinner given by the Sisters Of st. Bernards
hospital to the medical staff of the institu-
ton and a large number OF other physicians
of the city. There have been previous din
ners given to the medical men by the man
ayers Of the institution. but none that APP
preached this in the extent OF the prepara-
lions and the number of invited guests. 1t
is only within the last two years that the
dinners have partaken Of the character oil
annual gatherings and have become events
to which the physicians Of the city look Tor
ward with much pleasure. The fact that
only two Of the physicians who had been in
vited we're obliged to send regrets Is a good
indication that each made ample prepare
ton to attend and did not permit any or
binary emergency to interfere with his plans.
Although the dinner lasted from 5 O'Clock
until 8, and there was no time lost in
s~peechmaking, the physicians were In no
danger OF forgetting themselves, for there
were a number of the clergy present to look
after their spiritual welfare. The tables were
spread in the large dining room of the in
stitution. The room Is one Of the finest
apartments in the new building and its
beauty was largely increased by the tasty
decorations. Roses and carnations were the
chief flowers used on the tables. Palms and
blooming plants formed handsome combina-
tons with the other decorations of the rooms.
The dining hall was brilliantly lighted. The
pleasure OF the dinner was largely increased
by its informal character. BY request there
were no speeches or toasts. The physicians
we're simply asked to confine themselves to
good fellowship and the good menu the sis
tiers had provided for them. The menu was:
Blue Points.
Celery. Consomme a la Royal,
