The postponement of the "Frolic” was too bad—wheth er necessary or not, we don’t know. But naturally, when hearing of the postponement, the public in conver sation referred to the club members as “Dumb- Bells”, a very unrefined if not vulgar name to apply to an or ganization supposed to possess a certain amount of dignity. The sug gested frolic was to be a fun making jolly, comical show and the entertain ment of that nature could have as sumed the name very appropriately, but the postponement of the enter tainment gives a different view point and the “Dumb Bell’’ proved a boomerang. But let’s have the “big time” regardless of name, as it’s the final result we are after. In the se- elcting contest, the one suggesting the name of "Dumb Bell Frolic” did very well, and selected a winner, as proven by the advertising derived by numerous remarks and comments.
