When the club met last time
there was not enough dlshe^ to
serve the 13 members who were
present. There were about half
enough plates, no glasses. In
tact, the hostess had to go home
and get a broom and mop before
she could clean the place for
the meeting. The broom and mop
had disappeared.
A month or so earlier the raid
took a double boiler, all the sil-
verware, all the cups and the dish-
pan, which had replaced the dish
pan which had been taken even
earlier.
The first rhld last spring cost
the club house an electric hot
