gay, from the initial letters Of each of
the lady guests, and not a few very in
teresting impromptu contributions the
realm of fiction were the outcome of the
literary efforts. Three ladies We're "tied''
as TO the merits of their stories. and in
the end Mrs. A. E. Davidson was award
ed the prize, a water color. The occa-
sion was one OF great merriment, the
work OF making up a story with but two
initials requiring great deal of finesse,
While those ladies who could draw on
three or more had their work lightened
to considerable extent. After the prize
had been awarded, refreshments We're
