1t consists merely of a couple of Cuban

BACHELOR GIRLS CLUB.
This One Is Not Designed for the Encour-
agement of Ceiibacy.

The club is not designed to promote
celibacy among its members, as its
name might lead one to suppose. From
what has happened it appears that the
club has forsan object the corralling of
II of the most eligible bachelors of the
city. This circle of "a will participate

II young women recently decided, 1t is
said, that the social functions i'm the
town which they were in the habit of
attending were not quite as exclusive
as was desirable. Already nine bachel-
ors are in the fold. Half a hundred
others are pulling all the wires of social
influence they can control to get in,
though only three can succeed.
The sensational part of the affair is
the initiation which these bachelors
passed through before they Joined the
elect. Here lies the mystery. This mi
tiation was conducted with as solmen
an oath as the most sacred Masonic
rites.
