With the members of this club who are such lovers of whist and who are so thoroughly congenial, the time was soon spent. Those present were Capt. and Mrs. Guilfoyle, Messrs. and Mesdames R. C.

"There ain't going to be no ball This dismal wail is going up from Chicago like the cry of a lost soul, and it :s true enough.

In the course of the dinner Senator Uawley rose to make some scholarly remarks. A burst of laughter followed his reference to one of the works of the late Prof. J. R.

Mr. Hawly rebuked his audience fruitlessly; told them that they were irreverent, a remark which threw them into new paroxisms, and made ihe table ring and roar. If he talked about Seeley, why should they not laugh? The fact is that ho was altogether too expansion of England. Their stomachs were too expanded for that. They wanted vaudeville. They were at the vaudeville stage. The mention of the reverend name of Seeley filled their hearts with an exquisite joy. If Mr. Uawley had been a man of quick per ceptions he would have got up on the table and done a song and dance. At least he might have stood on his hea J.

Very effectively and sim- ply, reaching out one hand, he pro nounced these words: "As God was with the fatheiE, so may he be with the sons. Amen."
