showed good taste. Owing to the
shower of Tuesday afternoon the
electric lights in the hall were all
out. But this did not discourage
these women in the least, for when
the gentlemen arrived the hall was
all ablaze with kerosene lights. After
the meeting all retired to the din
ing room, where a bountiful supper
was served. consisting of baked
chicken with all the fxings. pashed
potatoes. pie, cake, and other good
things too numerous to mention, and
it was all topped off with generous
plates of delicious ice cream. The
gentlemen in a body thanked the
ladies for their most pleasant eve
ming in years.
