The League met socially to indulge in a limerick contest. Promptress Pertle explained that there was no hope that intellectual advaneement would be the result of the contest, but rather that an evening of entertain- ment was the aim. By way of launch- ing the contem she asked Ellabelle Mae Doolittle, the noted poetess, to read the first ortginal limerick, Miss Doolittle stepped to the fromt of the rostrum and held up one hand. The modest girl then read the fot- lowing: 1 beautiful young girl named Doo- little Once ate too much sweet peanut drit- tle, Then her niece, Teeney Ricketts, Cried; “Jiminy cricketts!

Surely, during those ten years of experience in catering to feminine desires you have formed a number of interesting observations. If it is the hardest thing in the world to be the proprie- tor of a woman's hotel, just say so. Women are trying to be as broad shouldered as men, and we will bear no chips upon our shoulders—so fire away.” “Many people haye tried to make me say it was no easy job to please a feminine clientele,” laughed Mr. Brown, “but this is not true.
