Nj. Monis replied that he wished to
consult his friends before announcing
whether he would accept the responsi

sAntoine Emmanuel Ernest Monis

was minister of justice in the Wal

Though the chamber of deputies ad-
journed to March 6, the entire mem
bership remained In Paris discussing
probabilities. The deputies found q
spicy sensation in the resignation Of
NJ. Jonnart, governor general of Al
seria, who telegraphed N. BRAND that
his sense Of duty to his country would
not permit him to remain in ONCE az
ter the abandonment OF the policies
which he was convinced we're neces-
sary to the welfare of France.
Organs OF the radical party are in
sisting upon a ministry which shall
continue the BRAND policies. This
would seem to support NJ Brands In
timation that the opposition to him
was personal. and 1t is likely that he
will have the satisfaction OF seeing his

The Vashtai Club, an organization

day evening witnessed the beginning
OF the end. of their society. The club
members Were invited out Ito the
home of Miss Ferne Soseman, one OF
the association, and the moment the
guests entered the h0nSe they were
aware that events of greatest mo-
ment were imminent Decorations
of red and white, in which hearts
were trumps, were everywhere to be
seen. The air was fairly surcharged
with anticipation, for no one knew eX'
actly when or how the secret 90
was to be divulged. -. Or course every
one knew that Ethel acted like a
child caught with the jam on her
fingers, but no one could account for
Maude's bushes nor her attitude of
happy contentment until refresh,
ments were announced and there it
all was, as plain as day. Place cards
of prettily decorated hearts unfolded
to give announcement that it was
Miss Ethel Wells and Mr.. Ray Lytle
in March, and Miss Maude McWill.
Jams and Mr.. George Heilman in
April And then of course every
thing else was forgotten in the en-.
thusiasm of the congratulations that
showered upon the brides-elect. And
then what a happy evening was pass
ed in reviewing the good times the
bunch has enjoyed together. Miss
Edna Holloway was the first member
of the club to desert its ranks when
she became Mrs. Ed McWilliams,
and now with two more of the mem.
bership declaring intentions TO take
on the title of Mesdames and current
rumor telling tales on others of the
membership, the girls came into the
realization that the Vashtai maids
would soon be compelled to hang out
the sign Club to Let" 1t was the
happiest kind of an evening and so
we'll was it enjoyed that time passed
unheeded and the hour had passed
midnight when the young ladies
thought of home and good nights
were reluctantly hidden. The town
clock had pealed one on the next day
before the Misses were all delivered
safely to their homes. The members
participating in the event were
Misses Ferne Soseman, Ethel Wells,
Maude McWHliams, Edna Schilling,
