receipts will amount TO about $500, and are
highly satisfactory. This money will, of course,
be turned over to the church fund to help

for the excellent way in which they decorated
the club house for the euchre party given last
Wednesday evening. These progressive euchre
parties have become very popular with the
members of the club, and arrangements will
soon be made for another to be given shortly.
There is one drawback to these parties and
receptions and that the very small amount of
space they are forced to content themselves
with. There is scarcely any room in which to
