briquet Experiences a
i, Split.

more exact, has decided to disagree and
one half of 1t pursues the even tenor of
its way down one path, while the other
half finds a shady way in an opposite
direction.
Just what was the nature Of the
trouble could not be learned this morn
ing, but the fact that The Fern Leaf
Club" met yesterday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. David Johnson in Clinton
street and played cards, and that an
other Fern Leaf Club chose to meet
with Mrs. Robert Boyle, % State street.
suggested that there might be rue
tions.
Inquiry developed the fact that there
We're ructions.
AS the club possessed considerably
less than a score Of members originally,
1t may be seen that both wings are
seriously crippled by the division, but
the members are game and both fac
lions proposed to go it alone and form
the nucleus of two better and wiser
clubs into which the deadly schism
may not enter.
Both clubs claim to be the Original
Fern Leaf club" and the accounts of
their doings follow:
