"I move that the Bloomdale Clover Leaf Club give a reception in the Academy to all the Bloomdale neighbors and friends, with a programme, and refreshments afterward."

"I second the motion," exclaimed Miss Amy Pierce, rapturously.
"It is moved and seconded that we give a reception at the Academy, with a programme and refreshments. Are there any remarks?"

"Why in the Academy?"
"Why not in somebody's parlor?"
"What sort of a programme?"
"Tableaux would be splendid!"
"Not tableaux! Charades?"
