Spread given by the Washington
lodge No. 821, Denevolent and Protective
Order of Elka. last night tothe
members and invited guests.
Dood feeling and merriment prevailed
and every fellow present, no matter
whether he was acquainted with
the mysteries of Elkdom or not, had
* "Jolly good tlzne."
More than one hundred feasted on
the good things at the festive bourd.
