TO be a genuine surprise as well as
pleasure to two members, Misses Mar

ley, who are to leave Friday to spend the
winter in Phoenix, Arizona. The ex-
press package proved to be dolls trunk
over fifty years old and having all the
compartments of modern travelling
trunk. When opened these two travel

all the club members. Their delight was
more apparent in their expressions than

po-ms, rhymes, etc, that will recall
this event when they are far from home
and friends Then came the supper
we'd at five daintlly appointed small
tables with escalIoped fish, hot rolls, OIL

sheep, but MIR. Walker refused to pay
this on the ground that he did not own
