Mr.. and Mrs. John Elliott very
pleasantly entertained the Magazine
Club Friday evening. 1t was made
valentine evening, quotations on card
board hearts with ribbon loops were
distributed, men giving the quotations
and the ladies of corresponding num-
bers giving the authors. Partners for
supper were thus obtained. Scalloped
oysters and all their accessories we're
very palatable on that cold stormy
evening. Literary articles concerning
Valentine day were read and freely
discussed. Along with the pleasant
social time following was a tinge of
sadness in the thought that this might
be the last meeting of the Club with
Mr.. and Mrs. Elliott as they expect to
go to Kansas to make their future
home. However if they do go they may
rest assured that there will always be a
pleasant memory of them in the hearts
of the Club.
