A report has gained circulation that
the Widow OBrien society, started in
Aberdeen, WASH, is somewhat similar in
character to Hoo Hoo. This is erroneous
as the aims, also the ends, likewise the
work, are entirely different. The Widow
O'Brien Society was organized solely te
protect unsuspecting husbands. The
ritual and the entire work of initiating
is arranged to make the candidate sus-
picious of his wife. The idea of the
society is said to have originated in the
mind of crusty old bachelor, well
known in Aberdeen.-WestC Coast and
Puget Sound Lumberman.
