The Wurra Wurra Club


 the meeting open for the transaction of business, every chair was occupied, and ' the roll-call. by George Hardenbergh. showed that every member was in at tendance, not single absentee being present.

Creevey, "I would move you, sir, that n com mittee be appointed 10 arrange ladies' night and supper, for members and their wives, similar to the affair given by the Business Mems Association d few nights ago.

 The fat member stood up. II don't 'bject t havin' a ladies' night fir the Club if anybody wants it." said he, "but don't agree with tn gentleman about that other one bein' good in. vestment. I didn't git no invitation, am my wife wanted t' go, real bad. Now I'm jest as good as some that was there, an a dun site better. Mebbe tn committee didn't think me an my wife was good enough U 'sociate along with such as"
 Are you member of the Business Mems Association ?'' asked MT. Creevey, breaking into the fat mem- ber's speech.
 "No, hain't," replied the fat mem- Der.
