The Fortnightly Club OF Arkansas City.
That the social side of life is not for
gotten by the Fortnightly of Arkansas
City is shown by the elegant banquet the

and gentlemen friends. Plates were laid
for sixty-five and every place was filed.
The club rooms were beautifully deco
rated with the stars and stripes. as well
as with the club colors. Palms and bios
soming plants were everywhere, whilst
candles and cut flowers gave added
beauty to the tables, which groaned IN
der the load of good things.

the advantage of handsome stage settings

admits Of almost endless display in these
lines. while the musical accomplishments

scope for the introduction of superb spec

is laid on the chorus, which in voice and
beauty is said to compare more than IA
vorably with that dashing contigent
known as the New York Casino Girl. An
unusual cast mas been selected 10 inter

prominent being Josie Dewitt (she of the

While only about two years old. il has
a membership of thirty-two, publishes a
year book, and is talking of a club mouse
when its membership, which is unlimited,
becomes too large for the homes.
Some of the members live in the coun-

tested by their presence and regular at

member both Of the district and state

Of decisions of the Supreme Court that
such is all the authority required, with

when the railroad men tore UP the side
