A chair of state, over (he back of which tall chysanthemums nodded, was placed for the guest of honor to whom Miss L^nn Hall pro posed the following toast: "Here's to the bride-to-be. May her joys be as deep as the ocean, and her misfor tunes as light as its foam.' To this toast all drank with hearty good will, and as they gathered around the table Miss Hicks opened each package amidst manyw ltty but good-humored sallies and bright repartee. Two pieces of silver, the gift of the book club were presented by the president of thee lub. In response to the toast and in acknowledgment of the gifts Miss Hicks replied: "With apprecia tion and thanks to our fair hostess, to each and all. I wish health and happiness and fortunes grown tall, And lest old acquaintance be forgot, And fail to t'ome to mid, A cup of kindness on the spot, Let's drain for Auld Lang Syne."

Thaw occupies tonight the same hotel apartments that have beeu his home since September 17 and now as then, he is in the joint custody of United States Marshal E. P. Xute and High Sheriff Holman A. Drew. But his legal status has been altered materially in twenty-four hours. After an all-day hearing before Judge Edgar Aldrich in the United States court today, an agreemnt was reached between William T. Jerome, counsel for the State of New York, and Thaw's lawyers, Judge -Aldrk^i assenting, whereby these steps'* were taken. The writ of habeas corpus filed by Thaw at Littleton in September was temporarily suspended. Thaw was arrested by Sheriff Drew under the extradition warrant issued by Governor Felker. A 'now and supplemental writ of ha beas corpus under the extradition pro ceedings was filed by Thaw's counsel. To this the State of New York was given seven days to reply with Thaw j to have five days thereafter in which to make his reply. Then all the documents in the cade j are to be printed and briefs filed by both parties. Then Judge Aldrich will fix a date on which final arguments will be made J before him on the question: Docs Thaw's case come under the extradi tion laws? An appeal may be taken from his decision by one 4*lde or the other so that the casern ay progress to the United States Supreme Court. _ The presence In the city of Sheriff Hornbeck, of Dutchess county, N. Y., led to the belief that Mr. Jerome had* expected to take Thaw back to New York with him as the result of today's procedlngs, but nothing happened dur ing he hearing to substantiate that belief. ?
