ECLECTIC'S SILLY SEASON.
They Entertain Their Men Friends with
Little Nonsense.

Thinking that It had all tha wisest men within
reach at It's "gentemen's evening at Delmonico 3
last night tho Eclectic Club INDUCED IN a little
nonsense. Mrs. Dore Lyon greeted the company

Eclectic had intended treat their men friends
to a mock trial. but. as sickness prevented the
preparation Of such entertainment, they gave
them a little miscellaneous nonsense instead. The

women spoke to it In prose and rhyme.

but said that, however true this might be OF the

we'll sailed in both wisdom and nonsense.
Mrs. George II. Wallace found the origin OF
nonsense in the Garden of Eden. It began when
Adam lost one rib. and 1t had lasted ever since.
Mrs Lawrence Yarger thought that 1t not

parents discovered the joys Of nonsense FOR IT
then that Adam raised Cain. II was impossible for
her to imagine Socrates Emerson seeking re-
