Old Friends Give Affair Character of Reunion and Merriment and Good' Cheer Ileig-n. HE annual banquet of the. Advertising men at The Carolina, Wednesday evening, was the most brilliant and enjoyable of the series, the large num ber of returning friends present giving it the character of a reunion. From first to last merriment and good fellowship reigned supreme, and sparkling wit and repartee kept all in good humor. A march by the orchestra was the sig nal for the entrance of the party to the dining hall shortly after eight o'clock, Mr. Frank Fresbrey and Mrs. Leonard Tufts leading, the big company which followed including many women. The tables were daintily decorated, one of the surprises of the evening being in the form of the souvenir menu, from the cover of which peeked forth the unique face of Finehurst's famous "The Links are Open"' lad. Mr. Fresbrey rapped for order, express ing appreciation for the courtesy of Mr. Leonard Tufts, the host of the evening, who rose amid applause, briefly welcomed the visitors and expressed pleasure at seeing so many familiar faces. Then came a discussion of the good things which the golf lad souvenir contained. THE MENU.

White could only putt And Todd stay on the Green ; The prizes would go elsewhere, It's plainly to be seen. If Calkins would only learn And Holden practice some; If Tilton, he of solemn mien, Would make his Tee shots hum ; Who claims that Hodgkin's substitute Will Fays the crowd upon the links Despite an occasional "just a beaut" Which Kimball says that Gill can drive Regardless of Royce or Gardner Whether the ball's in Tufts of Grass Oijhe has Lloyd for partner. So slice or pull, or top the ball, Or foozle, slaff or spin it ; The game's a game for all of us For the companionship that's in it! With coffee and cigars, Mr. Presbrey assumed the role of Toastmaster, calling upon Mr. Frothingham of Everybody's Magazine, whose speech was in the na- ;'"V i .". ..; '' f W5$ 4 'Si-1 .,. - M .
