Card of Thanks.
We, the Ladies of the Maccabees,
wish to thank our lady and gentlemen
guests who complied with the laws of
the Hive and kept their faith with us.
As to those members of the order
and all others who disregarded the
attempt we made to preserve deceney

gret that we did not realize their un-
friendly disposition before accepting
their money for an entertainment for
respectable people.
