basket sociable ever given by the organi-
cation and to say that it was success

containing luncheon for two persons. with
her card or name attached. The vestibule
to the main hall was piled high with
baskets, and after the entertainment ex-
cited men bid against each other for the
privilege of .lunching with the lady whose
name appeared on the basket. 1t cost
some of them a good bit for their lunch,
for the popular young ladies were very
much in demand.
The entertainment started off with a
vocal, vaudeville and instrumental pro-
gram A. P. Leverone, Miss Mary Owen
and Harry Child were the vocalists. D..
H. Martin and partner gave a contortion
act. and Miss Estella Murray, in Scottish
kits, entertained with a fancy dance and
song. The hit of the evening. however,
was the performance of the Apollo Quar-
tet, which responded to numerous encores.
After the concert and luncheon dancing
was INDUCED in until a late hour.
The committee in charge was j. H.
Bradley, chairman: E. S. Fleming, ]. D.

Dwight was now engaged In ascertain

The proposition was strongly opposed
from many quarters. 1t was announced
