THE COURIER
HUSBANDS' TRIBUTE
To tile ladles of F and (J street Kcnslug-
ton (St. Paul's), who entertained their
husbands at the Steckley residence
Feb. If.. 19.12.
In grandest tale and sweetest souk
With love the blithesome strain.
To single men and maids belong
All Joys In love's domain:
And 'though the theme, since time began.
Has been of youthful bliss,
Who would not be a married man
On such a night as this?
Our matchless Eves are beaming bright.
Triumphant, by the wiles
That brought their Adams out tonight
Willi gladness in their smiles.
The gallants gay in single life
What keen delights they miss!
Who would not have a smiling wife
On such a night as this?
Our lodges, grim and womanless,
(hike drums without the band)
Itreak out in nights of Joyousness
When sisters lend a hand.
And so this fair dove-circle ne'er
Shall die in gloom's abyss,
While husbands come with pride to share
In such a night as this.
May new Queen lturkett and her train
Excel in worth, as seen
From days of tMadame Sehwake's reign,
Till tKobbins fair was queen:
In heart, well join their every plan
For mankind's happiness.
'Tis joy to be a married man
On such a night as this.
THOMAS MIM.AU.
Newly elected president
t First president.

the warm shadows of the shaded can

silver. The menu cards were water
color sketches by Mrs. I'Mmisten, ideal
heads of girls wearing plumed hats,

I sent the book down to the dean,

that firm, I don't know whether I told
you of younjr Sutton. Lord Canter
bury's son. calling there one day very
angry because they had not sent him
some books he had ordered. He was.
as usual, pretty warm so much so
that one of the partners could bear it
no longer, and told him as much.
"I don't know who you are," was
the answer, "but I don't want to an
noy you personally, as you may not
be the one in fault: It's your con
founded house that I blame. You may
be Otley or you may be Saunders: if
you are Saunders, damn Otley; If you
