peculiarly attractive TO us, the c. A.
GLIB is happily located. II is-as we
say, on the Strand-but a biscuits
toss away. OF all the clubs in the
city to US il is the most accessible.
We do not even have to cross the
street to get there.
IN the second place, it is a prolific

items from a dry brain in order to
complete our copy in time for press,
We have but TO step into the c. A. club
and the items are immensely forth
coming. II is a clearing house for
much that happens in this busting
village. We have there In our en-
ploy a corps Of gentlemanly shoppers
whose business 1t is to supply us with
succulent bits of information. If they
don't happen to have succulent bits
of information on hand. they manu-
facture them. We depend a great deal
on the G. A. club.
Which explains, we believe, why we
favor the c. A club. To be sure,
there are many other excellent social
clubs in the city-for instance, our
antlered friends across the street-but
we just don't happen to get In touch
with them. We should like very much
TO give them all due attention.
But please don't think us prejudiced.
Now, ladies and gentlemen, We
have with US on this suspicious oc-
caSiOn:
Arch Murdoch, who is in command
of the crew which takes the club
members out for so many delightful
cruises on the social sea, promises TO
far Guido his performances of last
year. Nearly every party or enter
tainment this season has exceeded
expectations. The crowds have been
| immense. as it were. At the opening
| dance last Wednesday evening there
I were fifty-one more people than there
were sandwiches. That was a calam-
|! ity. At the family night party Friday
evening there were sixty-two more
people than there we're cakes. That
was a catastrophe.
After the entertainment program
the ball room was packed TO suffo-
cation with futtering femininity and
well-groomed masculinity gliding in
the mazes of the two-step, the waltz
and also the distracting complexities
OF the two-step circle. Even the most
gallant could not dance without RAM
partner. Innumerable pairs of No. 3
shoes were ruined. The manned were
carried out by the score. 1t was a
great success.
Miss Dora Hcrshenow OF the South
Bend conservatory. headed the pro-
gram with a piano solo which held
the undivided attention of the vast
spond TO an encore. Owing to a
jungle of ostrich plumes, waving
stick-ups and Mercury wings inter
Cepting our somewhat astigmatic
vision, we cannot comment upon Miss
Hershenows technic. From where
we sat behind this screen. however,
the dulcet strains Of the piano caused
our tympanum TO vibrate with most
pleasing harmony.
Prof. Perrott of Notre Dame sang
two selections in a rich baritone. but
knowing our limitations as vocal
critic, we cannot go into details OF
range and execution. Prof. Perrott's
renditions. however. elected much
enthusiastic comment on all sides.
Miss Irma HOFFMAN whom, ii will
be remembered, was recently pre-
sented at court and who, in conse-
Quence. is very much at home among
royalty. appeared before a delighted
audience with two vocal selections
rendered with charming ipsouciance.
Miss HOFFMAN had the rare distinction
Of getting her personality over the
fOotlights at the first note and TO her
we owe one of the most delightful
numbers on the program.
