The Young Married Peoples Whist
club was re-organized last Thursday
evening at the instance of several of
the old members of the club. The meet
ing of the club took place at the resi-
dence of Mrs James KeoWn, on Grand
avenue, and the evening pleasantly
passed with progressive whist The
first prize was won by Walter Sales and
consisted of a pretty little china bell.
This club is limited as far as refresh
1nents are concerned: only three diff
ferent edibles and drinka bles' being al
lowed. This is very commendable in
stitution. inasmuch as it relieves the
hostesses of a great deal of bother to
get an elaborate supper ready. A limit
is also put on the price of the prizes, SO
that one prize winner gets no better
prize than the other. The following
