Night.
BY AGNES McELROY,

BY AGNES McELROY,
A number Of very happy girls met
at the 7. w. c. A. for their monthly
Frisndship Clubs supper recently.
The reason for their extreme Joyful.
ness was that word had just been
received from Or. Frank w. Ballol
that AL the Friendship clubs Of the
washington high schools were ap-
proved and could begin the Yeas
work.
When Alice Haines, the president
OF the Friendship Club Council, an
nounced this approval, 6uperinten-
dent Rallou was heartily cheered by
ali the girls.
One of the most important changes
made In tho constitutions of the
clubs was that each club should have
three faculty advisers instead Of
one. During the evening cheers
were given and school songs sung
until the Y. w. c. A. echoed back
the sounds.
These suppers. held the first Fri
day OF each month, are among tho
most enjoyable features Of q high
school girls life. Here girls from
all five high schools como together
and get to know each other better
than would otherwise be possible.
At the November supper one girl
from each school was given q sealed
envelope, which. she was told. con-
tanned . stunt" to be arranged In
ten minutes. Each school was ns-
signed . room in which to practice,
ard At the end of ten minutes the
stunts" were presented. These
were very laughabls and were thor
ouxhly enjoyed.
First. Central girls gave . mock
trial. In which one OF the girls was
accused Of skipping . class the SEQ
day Of July, 1893. during the
twelfth period.
Then the Tech girls put largo
paper bags over their heads and
drew their own face on them. East
ern girls gave q play OF an Eskimo
oourtship. and Business girls gave
a burlesQus Of tho Three Mus
ksteers." Western girls gave . Sc
ries Of advertisements. which were
identified by the other girls.
These stunts were followed by
dancing. after which the girls sang
their good night" song and left for
their homes, wishing that club SUD-
pers caxno once q week instead Of
once . month.
About one hundred and nifty girls
were present, - we'll ~ Mrs. Tay-
lor and Miss Aoouillan. Of the Y. W.

were also present and several dis
tinguished visitors were sean among
the number.

precedence over other naval matters

lie, however. the problems of sub

plan was officially estimated as
being calculated to yield an addi-

to 100000, 900 for the United States.
while it will add $50, 900. 900 or more
to Great Britain's expenditures and
make no change over the original
proposal for Japan. Great Britain
will benefit more than the other two
powers, however, in deferment OF
replacement building with respect
to her two newest ships. Under the
agreement also, Great Britain will
