THE SOCIAL WHIRL.

The Van Rensselaer Club's annual banquet is to be held next Monday evening. This is one of the big events in local entertainment. Every member should make special effort to get somebody to keep the kids and be there. The house committee says reservations for plates have been slower than usual. This may be on ac--1 count of so many members being detained at home near sick beds. If so, we hope their beds get better, 1 /, It may be on account some think this year's toasts will be of too dry humor. True you can't get good talk from a man filled up on tea—but the toastmaster was admitted to the bar years ago. Perhaps he's saved something. It may be account some heard the keeper of a “hollow nut” had been asked to sing in his soft and mellow voice. (So soft and mellow it’s rotten). Whatever the cause of your delay, get Mr. Tuteur on the line and tell him yen'll be there double. The best scenery aint always the best land any more than the best looking girl makes the best housekeeper or the classiest looking car makes the safest investment. However the Franklin aint so hard to look at. THOMPSON A KIRK.
