MENtREY'S CORNERS.

Menerey Corners Oysterers have met
again, this time at the home of Robert
Turner and family. Another very
pleasant evening was enjoyed and
several guests were present. The even
ing's program was opened by Mrs. Jas.
Thompson, who gave wholesome advice
to the young ladies. The latter form
ed an interested audience, for Mrs.
Thompson gave from experience, many
hints as to how to keep a husband
under control. While the remainder of
the company enjoyed the playing of
games, a choir, consisting of Iva Nj.
Secord, Mable McGregor, Mary Turner,
Mrs. VIM. Secord, Bruce Menerey and
VIM. McLarty, with Mrs. Thompson
as oTganist, sang an anthem which was
heartily appreciated by all. VIM.
Secord and Robert Turner gave an
animated discussion of the subject
(Which is the Greater Social Benefit,
Well Digging or Farming?" Both
parties did so well that the judges have
not yet been able to render decision.
The instrumental music rendered by
Mrs. Jas. Thompson and Iva Secord
on the organ, Bruce Menerey and VIM.
McLarty on the violin, was highly en-
joyed. Supper time as usual was the
time of the evening. John Turner
was lucky enough to secure the comp
any of the Port Huron young lady who
was with us again to supper. All
regret that five of the members were
not in attendance on account of sick
ness in their families. The jovial faces
of our Port Huron and Capac friends
were also missed The ladies who took
part i'm the contest with VIM. Secord at
the last meeting, We're prone to renew
the situation, but Mr.. Secord, who saw
that the fair sex never would know
when they were defeated, magnOmin-
iously pretended to give up the palm
in their favor. All were in such
fever of excitement concerning the
music rendered by Mrs. Thompson and
VIM. McLarty, on violin and organ,
that they could hardly be torn away to
begin new game started by Mrs.
Bruce Menerey and Miss Brown. 1t
was contest. Half of the company
were i'll the parlOr and half in the din
ing-room. Those in one room looked
through paper, while those OH the
opposite side guessed who were look
ing. Both sides proved very good
guessers. VIM. McLarty is of the
opinion that "Stolen fruit is Sweetest"
and a paper flavors it we'll VIM.
Secord gave slight of hand perform
ance with paper and proved himself
an adept Mr.. Thompson says he Sc
cured the best looking girl in the room
as partner to supper, but that is
what they all say. He votes Mary
Turner an ideal cook, Judging from
the several samples of fruit cake he
ate. Mr.. McLarty favored us with two
readings "The Auctioneer" and "How
Jimmy Tended the Baby" Both were
greatly enjoyed. 1t is proven that Mrs.
Turner is another very genial hostess,
for the guests were unable TO tear
themselves away until the "wee small
hours" of the morning.
Naomi Brown was pleasantly sur
prised on Thursday morning when her
brother James Brown and the Misses
Naomi and Belle Brown, of SHOWER,
came to spend a share of the day with
her. Mrs. SecOrd served an appetizing
dinner to Miss Brown and her friends.
On Friday night the club took ad-
vantage of the sleighing to meet at
the pleasant home of Bruce Menerey
for tatfy pull. All thoroughly enjoy
ed the evening and vote Mr.. Menerey
and wife an ideal host and hostess.
Besides those mentioned as being
present at Mr.. Turner's, Miss Florence
and Mr.. Henry Johnson and Murray
Lusher were with us.
