1t was to have a meeting.

Two red letter dates on the T. P. A.
calendar. Saturday night, November
4th, ladies' entertainment and Satur-
day night, Dec 3Oth.-The big Smok-

be worth going to.

the event Of the year. Members should

discussion. and very much desires
your presence. A talkative president

very interesting meeting. A lot of
