DAUGHTERS OF

Gave Several Popular Parties, the
Final Being Held Last Evening

Every one of the many bridge
players who attended the Daugh-
ters of the Empire bridge party
at. Birs.. J: -6,

evening

McLennan’s last
thoroughly enjoyed the
event. It was the last party of
the series.

The funds of the society have
been augmented by close on $100
by a series of private bridge par-
ties kindly given during the past
three months by the following
ladies: Mrs. A. E. Wright, Mrs.
A. M. Manson, Mrs. H. F. McRae,
Mrs. F. R. C. Brown, Mrs. J. C.
McLennan.

\ sixth party was arranged by
Mrs. F. G. Dawson, but unfortun-
ately had to be cancelled at the
last minute as Mrs. Dawson was
suddenly called away io her
father, who is seriously ill.

A very acceptable prize of cut
glass or silver was competed for
at each party and won respective-
ly by Mr. Perey Miller, Mr. Thos.
MecClymont, Mrs. G. R. Naden,
Miss Beckwith and Mr. A. E.
Wright.

The parties have all been thor-
oughly enjoyed and the guests
turned their backs very regret-
fully on Emmerson Lodge and
Mrs. McLennan, the regent of the

order, realizing that the last
party of the series had _ been
given.
