The Rotary Club of Washington, D.
c.. held high carnival at its first quar-
terly meeting and dinner of the fall
last evening at the Shoreham Hotel.
The affair was in the nature of a Hal
1oween party. and ghosts and other
epooks ran riot, amid setting that in
cluded pumpkins and hobgoblins that
winked and bHnked, black cats that
arched their backs and yowled, and
other weird things that caused cold
shivers and creepy fears to possess
otherwise brave and intrepid business
and professional men Of the National
Capital. However, there were happen
fngs that took the minds of the Rofa- -
rians off things creepy and resulted in
the meeting being pronounced one of
the most enjoyable in the history of
the organization.
1t was precisely 1880 o'clock when the
new president of the club D. j. Gala
han. gave signal and a gong sum-
. moned the Rotarians to the small BALL
room of the Shoreham. All lights had
been extinguished, the intensity of the
gloom being relieved only by lighted
candles held by ghostly figures posted

eyes cut in immense pumpkins in the
center Of small tables provided for the
diners.
Pyramid Of Hobgoblins.
At one side of the room was an ar
tistic pyramid of hobgoblins. black
cats and the like, their eyes blinking
realistically When the Rotarians had
been seated the ghosts faded from view,
after the manner of real ghosts, and
the dinner was ordered to proceed.
President Callahan's first act of the
evening was the appointment of a COM
mittee on arbitration and disputes, re-
which is expected to be a potent factor
for good in the community. The per-
sonnet OF the committee is James Sharp,
r. W. Bolgiano. Thomas w. Sidwell,
Poole.
In the intervals between the serving
of the courses of the dinner entertain
ment features were introduced. There
was a roll call, each Rotarian being re-
Quired to rise in his place, and state
his name and business or profession. a
prize of an accident policy for $4,000
being offered by Rotarian Ralph w.
Lee for the best statement. The judges
had to retire second time after the
committee on arbitration and disputes
had declined to act in the matter, final

their places on the other end of the

A Dog and q Baby

80 $50 - AA1&0
There was q dog in q city home,
Where the rugs were soft and fine,
With downy cushions ON every side,
Where 1t could at will recline.
There was a baby without a home
Or mother to love and care;
It would have been glad with the dog
TO room,
But there was no room to spare.
The dog vas petted and loved and fed
And costly put to sleep;
The baby was hungry and went to
bed
To shiver and sob and weep.
A wealthy lady in silks and gold,
Was hunting a darling pet,
That she to her bosom could fondly
hold,
And annoying things forget.
What do you reckon the angels
thought
When choice at last she made?
The dog for a liberal sum was
bought
The baby received no aid.
