On a recent Friday the Sociability
Club varied their usual program by meet
ing in the evening-csjol their hus-
bands those who had available ones
into attending by a promise of "some-
thing to eat" Having gathered at Mrs.
BaiIey's lawn, they started forth at eight
o'clock to take in several miles by slow
and easy stages. AS every body is aware,
the people OF North End know how to
have good time. Nobody tried to be
| wise and everybody was witty without
| trying, and SO of all the gay Club meet
| ings this was the very gayest. The Club
and their guests soon found themselves
in Mrs. Geo. Miles large parlor, much to
/ a. L. x,3n aycf1V
mild dignity she babe the thirsty people
| make themselves at home. The gentle
| men in "best bib and tucker" the ladies
| in their prettiest gowns, and the gay
hearts Illuminating the faces of all, GER
tainly showed each one at their very
| best. Were l reporter for the press of
| st. Paul, should spend my time detail
| ing the silks, satins and airy mulls-in
| dainty pinks and blues, in somberer
| colors and purest white along with dia-
/ monds and other precious stones galore.
But the program of entertainment for
| the evening, arranged by Mrs. Gertrude
Phillips, was of far more interest, Never
| was the game of old-fashioned charades
| more charIningly played. The excite
ment at some points was thrilling. The
| younger ladies of the party are worthy
| Of much commentator for this part OF
| the evenings entertainment. Mr.. Ralph
Miles favored the company with a violin
solo. Miss Leona Lewis, q little
Naughty -Naught" of Hamline, gave a
recitation which provoked such an en-.
thusiastic encore that she came back and
performed another piece equally as well,
but SO far opposite OF the first one in
sentiment that the wonder grew that one
small head held all she knew, Certainly
II Naughty -Naught" it did not mean
double zero. At-ten-u-ate should have
been the next eharade, for ice-cream and
cake followed. Several of the company
nearly laid themselves out-even tbs
wise doctor who has learned so we'll ths
effects from causes, for he was 80 com
pletsly engaged with his third dish tina
he was unable to spend any time owe
one Of he ladies who offered him /
dollar and half, on the spo to taxi
away her toothache. You team draw
your own conclusions as to the quality
! Of the cream. The company dispersed
at a late hour, everyone exclaiming
"Why-eel Is it that late? And now tn
query, what will that Club do next?
