Menerey's Corners.

The Oysterer Club was royalty en-
tertained Thursday evening at the home
of Bruce Menerey. Mrs. Jas. Thomp-
son tried her very best TO abstain from
lecturing the young ladies but miser-
ably failed. The young ladies were
very grateful for further advice, as they
thought they might need it in the flu
ture. Several jolly games reigned SUI
preme, and VIM. Morgan and Iva
Nj. Secord were awarded the prizes.
Iva says, "rhat ere mule still con
tinues to kick" A very interesting
program, consisting of instrumental
music by Mrs. James Thompson and
Florence johnson, several songs by
our choir MARY Turner Naomi Brown,
Florence Johnson, Iva Secord, Murray
Lusher and Bruce Menerey) wherin
the ladies were determined to sing "Old
John Brown" and the gentlemen alb
solutely refused to sing other than
hymns, each gaining their own point
they could not be persuaded, but to
sing both at the same time. COnse-
quences were that the club have ar
ranged to purchase several bottles of
"nervine" for the unfortunate listeners,
as all were on the verge of nervous
prostration shortly after the "Duet"
rendered by the choir. Vocal, instru-
mental and violin solos followed while
a part of the company were escorted TO
the dining-roOm where sumptuOus
repast awaited them. In the meantime
Murray Lusher, Bruce Menerey and
Florence Johnson gave several selec
tions on violin, organ and mouth-organ
which were greatly enjoyed. AS soon

er carried off our school mistress.
Many Of his young friends heart sank
as they realized this fact. Jas. ThOmp-
son is the lucky man who always Sc
cures one of our lady guests as a part
ner to supper, while Bruce Menerey is
increasingly fortunate i'm securing
young and beautiful partner, first the
school ma'am then a musician. John
Turner had the pleasure of our inter
esting advisor rs his worst half at sup
per. One Of our girlies looked longing
~ towards the southwest and silently
wished our fortune teller were there.
The latter part of the company were
pleasantly entertained during supper
by the graphophOne. Being sorely
afraid of loosing her hubby who had
fallen dead in love with his "Dutch
Brother Mrs. Fogelsonger's naturally
sunny disposition was soon cheered by
the Hon. VIM. Secord who used all of
his efforts TO become an ideal enter
tainer. Suddenly Mrs. VIM. Seconds
countenance fell at the thought of her
better half receiving the smiles of
another. However, she soon rallied and
with her winning ways succeeded in
capturing her brother-in-law, bound
and bent on having ''SecOrd" at any
rate. \ race between Isaac Turner
and Master Grant Thompson as to
whom could eat the most oysters prov
ed very interesting. Both parties were
victorious. At 800 O'Clock Friday A.
