gratifying to the committee having
the affair in charge, there being
nearly 800 ladies and gentlemen
present,
The Clubs new home occupies the
second floor of the Loveless block,
and consists Of four rooms, one large
assembly room and three smaller

handsomely finished of and luxuri-

more plainly finished and will be
used for the business meetings of

prove quite an attraction.
The guests began to arrive at 8
O'Clock and by half past 8 the rooms
were comfortably filled. Jas. Mac

and did the honors in a manner that
would have gained the appreciation
of a Spanish Grandee. -:

called to order and short program
presented. The first number wasa

the ladies a series of boquets of
daisies, violets and briar roses that
kept the assembly in good humor
all the time he was talking. Mrs.

manner that must have surprised
the doctor as much as it certainly
delighted the rest of those present.

Members"

yelling of magnificent portraits of

presages for it . long and useful
career, and it cannot fail to have
a powerful and beneticient infiu-
