The Up-to-Date Book club, the per-
sonnel of which Is made up OF num-

Gus In the citys social life, had an in
teresting and amusing time in the en-
joyment of April FOOLS day frolics at
the home OF Miss Elizabeth Thompson,
on Spring street, on Tuesday evening.
The means chosen to observe the day
was quite unique, and the original ideas
We're most successfully carried out
The merriment was started so soon
as each guest arrived, and she was pre-
sented with n Ounce cap, of various coll
ors of tissue paper, which was worn
during the evening, Then followed the
telling of jokes, each guest having one
to relate, AS an inducement for the
best kind of amusing tales, prizes We're
offered for the best and the poorest.
The usual order of things We're reversed
and instead of the best real joke get
ting the first prize, the poorest joke
took the chief prize and the best told,
the BOBBY. Miss Lena Bronson won the
first prize, and Miss Mary Warrington
the hooby
English Walnuts were passed around,
twelve of which contained slips of paper
on which We're questions To be answered
by the name of some nut. AS before,

There was a reception after the ser
mon, at the home of the brides par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs Michael Bolund, at
o56 Dundaff street. Here 4 host of

many substantial remembrances. Prof.

ton and breakfast We're in progress.

societies, particularly the Ladies' Cath
Ollie Benevolent association and the
Catholic Womens Benevolent legion.

manding place that he possesses among
the younger men who are conspicuous
in public life in this city. AS MEM
Der of the Carbondale High school
board, Mr.. Hughes has shown he pos
sesses the highest qualities of citizen
and of the man who is destined TO be
successful in this age of completion,
simply because he has in his make-up
the stuff that successful men are made
