The (‘atholic Club gave another of
its delightful ladics' nights. last even-
ing, at the club house, in West avenue.
The night was a most inauspicious one
from a weather point of view. the rain
and sleet making venturing out of
doors unpleasant. btit notwithstanding
there was a large attendance of the
members of the club with their wives.
daughters and young lady friends. The
program of entertainment had been
prepared with utmost care by the en
icrtalntncut committee of the club_ hilt
their efforts were well rewarded by
their success.

The first number was a piano selec-
tion altistically rendered by William
Clune. followed by Mrs. i. W. O'Con-

core, “Good Night. Sweet Dreams.

Then followed a very charming por-
tion of the entertainment. Miss Dotba
Stone Pinneo presented an original
program. entitled: "A Storyteller's
Evening." This consists of true stories
written by herself, and kept for use in
this way. She gets her plots either
from some personal happening or from
the person to whom some strange ex-
perience has come. The fact that the
stories are true has made them very
popular and the program has become
a specialty. These stories are never
published by Miss Pinneo.

Last evening she gave two tales.
both of New England. The first is call.
ed "Black Philip of Mt. Riga." and is a
thrilling account of murder and second
sight. leading to the discovery of the
murderer. The second. P‘The Sad
Downfall of Mr. Peters." is humorous.
and shows the extreme trouble and un-
happiness brought on himself by a
young man who takes a name not his
0WD.

Miss Pinneo says her opinion of the
:iildlence‘at the ladies' night of the
Catholic Club is that it was one of the
keenest. the most appreciative and re-
sponsive any speaker could have. and
that It wasvery stimulating to appear
before it. . ~

Mrs. William J. Tracey. whose fl’nets'
developed voice is well-known. and
with much pleasure. sang "liove's
Young Dream." and as an encore, "Bub-
hie." The entertainment was brought
to a close with a short speech by Dr.
William J. Tracey. former president of
the club. who expressed his pleasure at
seeing so many present.

Ell-Mayor John J. Cavanagh, of
Smith Norwslk, announced the various
numbers on the program. while Ed-
ward F. Hands was the accompanist of
the evening.

When the program had been con-
cluded. the members of the club made
themselves busy serving their guests
with Ice cream and cake.
