is supposed to establish her own code OF
laws. However, it was decided to meet
each Wednesday of every week, and
hearts were adopted as their trump,
which is very suitable for such a club.
After the young ladies had played an ex-
citing game dainty refreshments were
served. The prizes were won by Miss
Laura Geohegan and Miss Daisy Woods.
1t is expected this will be the most en-
thusiastic club in the city, and their sue
