THE FELLOWSHIP BALL.
Concluded from Page L.

il a gross insult to his wife IL an in
vitation was sent to Mrs. Manning by
anyone else; that he would at once
resign from the Fellowship Club, If
Mrs. Manning was permitted to enter
Oakland Music Hall, on the night of
the bali"
In winding up the conversation. DR..
Brown, replied that ''he had always
promptly paid his dues to the club;
that sometimes Mr.. Lucas Nas De-
hind in his; that no ladies belonged
to the club; that if its members were
going to exclude all the dear ladies
who had talked about each other they
would not have a COMPOUNDED one pre-
sent at the ball, that as he had stood
for Mrs. Manning, when the fight
came up before the committee on in
vitations as to who was who, when
the clean and pure in heart were di-
vided from the uncIean and impure in
heart; that as Mrs. Manning had
passed muster in every way he con-
sidered her his invited guest and he
thought she was entitled to receive
an Invitation, but the up shot of this
cross firing between DR.. Brown and
Mr.. Martin was that there was moth
ing doing in the way of an invitation
for Mrs Naming. ..-.-- --
In his dilemma, Doctor Brown, ap-
peaTed to Doctor George c. Hall, ne
worthy and popular president of the
Fellowship Club, and after explain
ing over the phone, all the circum-
stances leading up to the incident,
the president responded, that 'by all
means have Mrs. Manning to come,
and recommended that an invitation
be extended to her; that the Fellow.
ship Club was not run as a laundry
for its members to wash their soiled
linen and to rectify their personal
grievances in order to get even with
some one" or words to the same eff,
feet.
So on the evening of the ball, Mrs.
Manning accompanied by her hus.
band arrayed in all of ner 1nery,
marched into the hall, holding the in.
vitation in her hand, and after get,
ting their wraps checked, they seated
themselves in one OF the boxes, and
they had not been occupying it long
until they were spied by Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, then the storm
broke forth in an its fury. Mr.. Lucas
demanded that they must be com
PEELED to leave the hall at once, and
if they were permitted to remain
there over his protest, he would re-
sign his membership in the club, and
If an accounts are true, Mr.. William
l. Martin, secretary Of the club, was
selected to impart this cheerful and
Illuminating information to Mr.. and
Ms Manning. He intfmated to
them that they held a bogus bogus invita-
FTTTg
ton, that their names did not appear
on the regular invitation list. ""' -
