remodeled apartment and enabled it to
introduce new features which its hereto
fore restricted facilities have limited.
Entertainment of various kinds was fur
nished throughout the evening, both local

burlesque on the suffra gette mixers was
an amusing feature.

sissippi. After the toast Mr.. Collier made
