day afternoon of happy animation, the
occasion being special meeting of the
Six-handed Euchre club. Fourteen
members Of this club took possession
of the premises and with the able as
sistance of Mrs, Bury they easily ac-
complished the purpose for which they
had set out, that was the having of q
perfectly good time. After the Euchre
games, in which Mrs. Jennie stiles won
the prizes, both for most games and
most.ten games credited on her score
card, supper was announced. Adjec-
tives will not make this supper as good
as 1t was 30 we refrain. In order to
settle the account with the inner man
the ladies then proceeded to the big
barn where dance closed the program
for the day. Home going time
came all too soon and the lamentations
were many that the day had been
SO short. Mrs. Barry is always
