of questions as to who would be

quest.

We met at six p. m. and had reg

feed. Not just a toothpick and a
pickle, but regular grown up feed. We
had So members present as guests,
and had enough left over to have a
luncheon Saturday night at the regu-
lar club meeting.
The program was we'll chosen and
for the most part surprisingly well
rendered. Then there were the dec
orations, they were tasteful and real
ly beautiful. Flowers and lots of
them. What matter, brother, if these
flowers were of paper? You shall
hear the story of the flowers and you
will realize that the flower was an
enchanted castle with good fairy
living there.
Three months ago and not one of
our boys or girls could have made a
paper flower on bet and yet Friday
night they bloomed everywhere.
We had several splendid instrument

the flowers was told we danced.
Only few visitors were present
but those few were very welcome,
indeed. All apparently enjoyed the
evening and we think it safe to saw
that everyone went home with a
warmer feeling around their hearts
