the club thought TO repeat Its attempt
more enjoyable than that OF last year

would be willing to acknowledge.
Aside from the general spirit Of hos
pitality so attractive to the members who
came, another feature was the announce
ment that Maguires orchestra was to fur
nish the music OF the evening This
alone was enough 10 insure a large at
tendance OF those receiving invita- tions.
The committees having the whole AFFAIR
In charge deserve great praise for the
success Of the evening. and those present
were not slow 20 acknowledge the fact.
From the time the doors were thrown
open till late in the evening the invited
continued 90 come. so that at one time the
hall was more than filled. Everyone was
there for good time. however. and the
fact that the dancing was done in in
stallments. one set waiting TN the other
had left the floor. everyone present had
the time OF his or her life.
Those who came early had tho most
pleasure on the floor. for II was not 80
crowded. the moment. however. each
entered the hall the feeling OF good
fellowship made him or her forget the
little inconvenience of being crowded and
devoted the time 10 enjoyment.

DIRECTORS
TROUBLES

New York Dec There is the posi-
biIlty OF an altogether new question being
raised arising out OF the illegal payment
OF dividends to stockholders OF the Ameri-
can Mailing company, which dividends
Justice Clarke in the supreme court says
the directors who caused their payment
must personally repay.
II was said yesterday by person In the
confidence OF the plaintiff stockholders
that the next move will be to bring suit
against the directors to recover the differ
ence between what these stockholders
paid for their shares. when the price was
based on the suppositlon that the divi-
dends were earned. and what 1t could be
sold for when II was learned that the di-
vidends had not been earned.
Attorneys for the plaintiffs did not
care 10 discuss this new feature OF the
litigation yesterday. Samuel Untermyer,
who has had much to do with the ventil-
alton OF the affairs OF certain corpora
tions. was asked what he thought OF the
Clarke decision and OF the new issue that
has been raised Mr.. Untermyer. while he
did not care TO be quoted directly, said IN
substance:
There IL nothing new or startling
about the decision. IL has always been
