The E. M. B. club was most charmingly
entertained on Monday evening last by
Miss Annie Richards and Miss Lillian
Paschal at their home, No. 405 West
Granite street. The nomenclatural des-
ignation of this young ladies' club has
been an enigma incapable of solution by
the young gentlemen members of the
social set. The meetings of the club ave
been attended by a very tantalizing, pro-
voking air Of conclave secrecy on the
part of it's members. On Monday even
ing, however, the young ladies complete
ly dispelled all semblance of further dis
guise as to the wonderful object of their
weekly assembling and invited a number
of their gentlemen friends to be present
after the formal portion of their initia-
tory ceremonies had been duly disposed
of. 1t developed that the E. M. B. club
has been an embroidery club, and that
the young ladies have been most assidu-
Gus in their devotion to needlecraft, made
manifest by the exhibition Of many ar
ticles Of beautiful design for home use
and as presents to friends, as we'll as do
nations for sweet charity's sake. In
strumental and vocal selections were
rendered, after which dancing was in
dulged in. Later, delicious light refresh
ments We're served. Among those pres
ent were: Miss Maud Crippen, Miss
Dora S%uprenault, Miss Corinne DECKER

Among the social events of the week
was the card party given by Miss Red
vein on Friday night at the home of her
sister, Mrs. Bartlett. The beautiful Bart

feature of the evening. Miss Mcdonald

while Miss Peters received a beautiful
picture for the second prize. Mr.. Kennedy

The week in society has been inordi-
nately dull, which fact is no doubt partly
due to the Lenten season. Preparations
for Easter seem to be wholly absorbing
the attention of the ladies. It is expected
that the conclusion of the Easter festival
will witness a return of the social gaiety
begun last fall and continued without in
PERMISSION until recently. The only no.
table event of the coming week will be
the reception and dance of the Entire
Nous club, which will take place on
Thursday evening next.
At the regular meeting of the Homer
