FINE Entertainment
ON THURSDAY NIGHT
Society of Exclusive Young Ladies Elk
tends General Invitation.

The y. q. 4. society is preparing to
give an entertainment next Thursday
evening in the parlors of the First NJ
f church. to which the public. both
young and old, male and female mar
| ried or single. is cordially invited The
admission fee will be % cents. but if
any person should have nothing less
| than half a dollar or a dollar and
should refuse to take any change back.
! there will be no appeal to the police
! The point is that the entertainment is
for the purpose of raising money.
The y. G. A. society is-well.
great many people have been trying for
several years to find out just what it
is. Nobody knows but the members.
though almost everybody thinks he
knows more or less about it, The mem
bers are very free to talk about the
society, its advantages and is pleas
ures. but they tell so much. some of
which is known to be so that the man
looking for Information is left i'm seri-
Gus doubt. This much is known: that
the membership consists only of Young
ladies who belong to the congregation
they have fine times at their meetings.
which are held once a month: that they
are very exclusive. and that contrary
10 the statement Of Abraham Lincoln,
they succeed in fooling all the people
all the time. And the society has lived
and thrived for a number of years past
II one member is asked what the
initials y. G. \. stand for she promptly
replies NO Gents Allowed" The same
question put to another brings the
quick response Nice Girls All" while
the interrogation always concludes that
ii is NO Good Asking" for ''No Girl
Answers" except with a response that
has string to it.
But even a girls lodge has to have
revenue and like their husky brothers
they find ii hard sometimes 10 keep
the treasury fun. Then. just once in
a while. they hold some kind Of a thing
that would be called a show if il were
not in church and was given by any
body except bunch of young ladies
who wouldn't be actresses for anything
IN the world. and next Thursday night
VIII be one OF those occasions
The society is keen to have some fine
press notices but like all modest young
ladies they don't want to tell anything
to write about for fear it would get in
he paper and spoil all the fun of the
surprise that awaits those who intend
to be present But it's going to be lust
fine" for the girls said so. There will
be some good music and then there
VIII be two special presentations of. |
well, it won't do to call them plays"
they said. and yet they are not com
mon readings and recitations. and they
VIII not be pantOmimeS for the par
Elephants do some talking. and they |
VIII not be mOnolOgues or charades or !
tableux. but altogether it Will Just be |
a fine entertainment"
1t is suspected that there will be a |
man or two i'm it. but that is al guess |
work and if it's so it viii be only be |
cause ii is an open meeting and some |
elasticity of the rules will be permitted |
Ordinarily a man. especially :. young /
man, is the last thing on earth the \
members would consider. collectively |
Tor men are hOrrid things and the So /
clety would not cOuntenanCe them But |
these society rules do not seem to gov |
ern individual conduct. More than one |
member of ii has already been led to |
the altar, and there are others travel |
ing road that often terminates there. |
or stops there a while before it termin- |
ates.
All this however is beside the case.
The main point is that the y. G. 4. !
is going to give an entertainment |
Thursday night and wants everybody |
to know about ii. As a press notice |
this article is not very Illuminating. !
but then it was not intended be and |
per haps it sets forth as many depend
able facts as a lot of press notices that
tell 90 much that isn't So
