 Each girl is intrusted with one course of the menu. It Is her duty to decide what it shall be and arrange with the cook as to how she wishes it to be served When all the guests are seated at the table. the butler announces every course by the title of the young woman who ordered and paid for 1t. There are charming little menus, too, on which is written Soup a la Marie Wharton, "Roti a la Edith Burden" etc, which course.
 The interest that is shown in the preparation and eating of these club dinners is very striking. Each girl tries to make Ter course the best and most popular. and in the evening votes are cast as to which was the most sue cessful course.

 The New Britain team will be here on Tuesday night and that will cer- tainly be a great game. New Britain was the first team in the league to take the measure of the Meriden team and Waterbury will try hard to send New Britain home defeated.
 "The game at New Britain Thurs day night, was not basketball" said local crank who saw the game last night. Although Meriden tried hard to give an exhibition of that sport, the holding and showing of New Brit ain did not give them a chance. - Meriden Record.
