The room were gorgeout with long fet loori of red crepe paper, little tinkling bell and pretty cluster of mistletoe. To say that the boy were dismayed, mildly ipresses their feelings when, after re moving over-shoes and donning "company manners," they were informed that they bad come to the wrong house, but final ly the mystery was solved and all were ready for the good time, which was fully realized. The unique guessing games caused much merriment and prize were given to Florence Childers. Don Meyer, and consolatiou to Mr. H. Rosenkamp. During the evening Mr. Merton Kiddle tendered tome very pleating vocal selec tion, piano solo by Imogen Russell was enjoyed by all, then every one joined in singing late popular tune.

CASE OF GRATITUDE Osteopathy has received a great im pulse in New York the past winter through the strenous fight in the legisla ture to prevent the passage of an Osteop athic law, (which was finally won by the Osteopaths), and through the production on the stage of "Mr Leffingwell' Boot." a play turning upon an Osteopathic cure. Written by Augustus Thoma, the fore most American playwright, and staged by Mr. Frohman, the foremost manager of the day, at the Savoy, the dav has been the success of the season in New York. The plot of the play is built upon the eccentricities of a young man, insane from injury in college sport. The startl ing and educational-influence of the play i in the cure of the young man by an Osteopath finding and setting a (lightly displaced bone of the neck. The play originates through the exper- ience of the two men with Osteopathy. Mr Thomas' eon having been cured from a hopeless invalid, and Mr, Froham him self having been treated, The play has awakened the people of New York, particularly the press, and is proving the greatest educational means of the day for Osteopathy, and the greatest blow to pill doping.
