the most enjoyable in its history. A
large company was present, filling COM
fortably the lower foorof the handsome
home, which was made en- snite for the
occasion. Tho program was delightful,
being composed of readings, recitations
and music. Probably the address of DIR.
E. @. Doyle was the feature of the even,

congratulations from his friends. But
for the extreme modesty of the doctor,
your readers would have had an oppor-

provided by tue ing nious hostess was a
"Commerce Party" each guest being
lprovided with three bundles containing
various and sundry articles ranging all
the way from doll baby to stick Of
candy, amt an envelope containing
/! twenty. five beans, with which trade was
made and barter exchanged 1t Is said
that the scenes which followed rivaled
New York stock exchange. When finally
the hostess called time, it was found that
| the most successful traders were Mrs.
W.. A. Holland aud Miss Eleanor Rich

the club red, to Miss Richardson. The
menu was served, consisting OF nut salad,
cheese straws, lettuce sandwiches, olive
pickles aud crackers, followed by sweet
course of charlotte russo, fruit cake and
lastly coffee. These were valued at so
much each, the guests being compelled
to pay so many beans for each tempting
article on the menu, which enforced
more trading and swapping. It is need
less to add that satisfactory deals were
made and all were literally supplied.
The club colors, white and red, were in
evidence, ribbons being used in tying
the bundles OF commerce and in other
attractive fashions, thus completing the
perfect execution of perfectly planned
entertainment.

the park fence question, the citizens
! washed their hands of it, leaving the
question with the council. At a meeting
of the council Friday it was decided to
straighten the line of fencing extending

the business block, by setting the park
fence back forty feet, and bringing up
the fence inclosing the reservation twenty
feet Whether this meets public ap-
prevail remains to he seen, but it is
thought by some of our anpreiudced bu-
