A Long-Felt Want Supplied.

Miss Antique (ancient maiden with modern ideas) —We had such a glorious meeting this afternoon, to organize the Anti-Male Social Club. In response to my call over fifty beautiful and charming young ladies presented themselves, and all were enthusiastic over my plan to escape from the thraldom of man. The first entertainment is to be given next Monday night, and not a man is to be allowed to enter. I am to deliver an address, Miss Highnote is to sing, the Misses Ivory are to play, Miss Totter is to give recitations, the members of the art club are to bring specimens of their work, and we are to have a perfectly delightful time. Can’t you come ? Friend—l have an engagement for Monday evening. Same friend (the following Tuesday) —Well, I suppose there was a noble feast of reason and flow of soul at the Anti-Male Club last night. Miss Antique—Um—er—the fact is, at the last moment, I received an invitation from Mr. Oldtime to go to the theater. “How r did the club get along without you, its organizer, I wonder ?” “I—l heard this morning from the janitor of the hall that there wasn’t anybody there.” —New York Weekly.
