a PROGRESSIVE SUPPER. The winning
members of the Bridget Club, who were SO
pleasantly entertained by the losers at the
home of Miss L. Grace Chadwick at the
end of the seasons play, returned the COM
piment last Friday evening, when pro-
gresSve supper was gwen IN honor OF the
four who had the lowest score for the sea-
son. They unsuspectingly accepted the in
vitatiOnS issued for a reunion at the home
of one of the members, where they gathered
at $50 around a fully set table. The CEN
terpiece was OF shaded pink carnations, and
a June rosebud was tied to each place card.
Cantelope followed by tomato bSque and
| English biscuit were served, and on the
succeeding plates were invitations inviting
them to the home of another member. Sur
prise gave way to anticipation, and they
were soon on their way to the second host
ess, where they were seated at two dalntily
set little tables, and served with chicken
terrapn, hot rolls and olives. After TINS
course the guests were suddenly deprived
of their sight and after quite an extensive
tour about town were led into another

moved, they found delicious salad placed
before them, accompanied by biscuit, olives
and sailed nuts. After this course the
guests received the sat home card of the
fourth hostess, with the significant word
'brdge'' in the corner. The dining-room,
which was the mecca of the last pilgrim
age, was a picture. 1t was decorated en-
tirely in green and white, as was the table
A centerpiece of growing ferns was tianked
by candles with the prettiest of green
shades. Ferns were scattered over the
cloth, and the place cards bore dainty
hand painted ferns. Walnut ice cream was
served in ice cups made of two shades of
green crepe paper, and was accompani ed by
delicious cakes and coffee. After adjourn
ing to the parlor the card tables were set
up and the remainder of the evening was
spent with bridge. The score cards OF light
green cardboard each bore in the corner a.
real four-leaved clover, and at the close
of the evening the guests of honor were
each presented with a tiny enameled
swastika as souvenir of the year, and in
retaliation for the gifts they handed out to
the winners. The evening was thoroughly
enjoyed by both guests and hostesses, and
will be memorable one in the clubs an

THE YOUNG MEMS REPUBLICAN CLUB.
The meeting of the Young Mems Republic
can G Tub in their rooms in Masonic Temple
last Friday evening was well attended. Az
ter the reading and approval Of the records
of the last meeting and the presentation of
list of names of new members and associ-
ate members, all of whom were unanimous
ly voted in, the President, James II. Howes,
presented as the speaker of the evening
Harold E. Cook, Esq, of Waterville. Mr..
Cook is the law partner of Hor. William L.
Haines, a forceful and eloquent speaker,
and an earnest Republican. But while a
Republican he does not make the common
mistake of undertaking or deriding those of
the opposing party. He said that it was
necessary to have two great parties and he

to President Cleveland. In concluding his
