HAS GREAT DINNER.
Is Served at Home of President Will
lam GiIbert-More Big Times
COMING.

A dinner was held last Tuesday eve
ming by the Twenty Lions Club. The
affair was a glorious success. The
house was crowded, and the members
voted this the best evening that they
ever had. The dinner was held at the
home of the president, William Gil
bert, of Broad and Willard avenue
The chef was Joseph Carmesala, the
newly elected president of the Italian
Club, who was ably assisted by Louis
Bacigalupi. Everything was cooked
in the Italian style and served by the
ladies' The table fairly groaned under
the many and various dishes, and after
singing their praises, everyone con-
graduated the chefs. There was ev-
erything that goes with Spaghetti
supper, even to Italian wine, and at
each members plate was a card as
follows:
Twenty lions in a den,
Full of pep, ali of them;
Progress, friendship, full of fun,
That's their goal, every one"
This is their slogan, and they lived
up to it. After the meeting, at which
they initiated two new cubs, Harry
Collins and George Adams, there was
dancing Between the dances, there
were songs as follows: A duet, Old
time Songs, Bacigalupi and Singer;
a baritone solo, O-Soli Milo, Carmesala;
exhibition of the Charleston, by Mrs.
Mullen; several piano selections, by
Mrs. Keates.
