comes in on February .. so there are

would not come amiss sometimes. One
hears funny tales now and again about
invitations. Some get none at oil, while
other individuals have been known to
receive three invitations for one tea.

falls this year on January and on
the last Friday before Lent, which hap
pens to be on the first Friday of Feb
ruary being the 4th Of that month.
Gouvcrneur Cadwalader and Cap
Norris have retired from the list this
year; that is, their time Of serving Is
up and the new men are Alexander
Van Rensselaer, and Fred Drayton.

are to have enough rooms to accommo-
date fifty four girls. Naturally they
want to raise money to help the good
work along, and the card party will be
one OF the means employed. Mrs. Wal
ter liopkinson is treasurer for the
cub; you know, but understand that
al the members are disposing Of tables
.or ne card party, hoping to make it
really large affair.
