party. At an early hour the guests
began to arrive one by one in their

"hens'' threw off their masks and
proceeded to enter the dining-room

Some individuals are trying to use
the playful item in last weeks paper
in reference to one of the local minis
ter's opposition to the Women's clubs,
so as to make it reflect upon the
Presbyterisns of the city, going 30 far
in the construction even as to accuse
that church of not paying It's last pas
tor In full. No such intent was en-
braced in the item. On the contrary,
it is a fact that the Presbyterians have
always paid their ministers in full and
the officers of the church insist that
there was no perceptible falling of in
the attendance as reported. The pas
torial relations of the Presbyterian
church have never been dissolved ex-
cept on the most pleasant terms, and
all the changes have been made at the
request of the retiring pastor, never
at the instance Of the congregation.
