The downpour of last Thursday found a; large number of ladies of( ?' the social set pleasantly located in r ibe pretty rose-bedccked rooms of : Mrs. ?f. B. Wallace, enjoying her cordial hospitality and merrily con testing for tlie high .scores of eix banded euchP^, Little thougtfrK"was giveu to the weather man's doings outside, un til two hours had been delightfully ?pent, frnd departure for home was thought of, when, to our dismay we found tbe rain still pouring in relentless ""torrents. Visions of aoaked Jootge'ar, wilted headgear, - and drenched ruin of our "best" I.costumes confronted?tts with ap ^palling consternation, for veTy few of ns had husbands or futhers who figured In Bradstrects. But the good o\d adage of the "friend in need" W*s fully verified when Mr. W? L. DePass appeared upon the scene, and we found that hie thoughtful courtesy had provided inug sheltering back* to convey us all to our homes. And thus were - our apprehended difficulties most hSppily adjusted, and a jolly^ride home was made the unexpected ^ but merry ending to an afternoon of pleasure* So here's a hearty vote of thanks for you, Mr. De Pass,' . from your appreciative V friendt! May a big umbrella be % always ready to shield you from life's storm*, be they sudden or otherwise. -- Programme.
