Union Club.


The third annual gentlemen's
night of the Lyndon Union Club was
as expected, a pleasant social occa-
sion. The time was o'clock on the
evening of Thursday, January 10, the
ed by draperies of the national
colors, with quantities of flags and
gilt eagles, that it was not only
patriotic bower but place of
beauty. For this the club have to
thank Mr.. Darling, who kindly
loaned the decorations, and Frank
Wiley, to whose skill as decorator
was due their tasteful arrangement
Over 600 members with their hus-
bands and guests were in attendance
on this evening, and the gay and
beautiful evening dresses, the music
lights and decorations, combined
to produce charming effect. Mrs.
Kate Brooks orchestra, six pieces,
furnished music throughout the
evening. Promptly at eight o'clock
ident, introduced the entertainer,
Edward Frye of Boston. The
program of the evening was the rem
dition of that popular American play,
"The Man from Home" Mr.. Frye
outlined the situation in the play by
a brief prOlOg, then went on to give
the play, changing his voice and at
titude to suit each character. To
those who had seen the play, his
faithful rendering brought pleasant
memories, and those to whom it was
new gained fine idea of it all-only
scenery and costumes being wanting.
