THE WRITERS' CLUB
Many members of the "Writers' Club and their friends attended the evening held last week to celebrato the club's third anniversary. Several were in fancy costume, each representing a literary character. The prize for the costume considered to be best expressing the author's intention was given to Miss Hart Smith as "Dick Swivcller," Miss Eijimett (Sarah Gamp) and Mrs. Scott-Young being highly commended. Miss Eileen Johnston won the prize for guessing the greatest number of characters.
Mrs. Cluett, who has been president of the club since its inception, gave a brief speech of welcome and Mrs. Gilbert, honorary secretary, presented her with a bouquet of chrysanthemums on behalf of the members. Several items were enjoyed, Mrs. W. Spiers giving "The Telegram," Miss Mary Spiers "The liider at the Gate," and Mrs. Hart Smith and Miss M. Young playing a guitar and pipnoforto rendering of "Simple Avon" and Braga's "Sercnata." Choruses were also enjoyed after supper.
