AN IMPORTANT SOCIETY FORGOTTEN.
“JOHN, I would like to invite my friend, Mrs. Smalley, this evening. Will you be able to be in?” “No, my dear, I must attend the meeting of the Ancient Order of Foresters to-night.” “Well, to-morrow evening?” “I have the Royal Arcanum, and you know—” “What about Wednesday evening?” “O, the Odd Fellows meet that night; on Thursday, I have a meeting of the Knights of Labor to attend; on Friday, the Royal Templars of Temperance; on Saturday, there's a special meeting of the Masonic Lodge, and I couldn't miss that; and then Sunday evening—let me see—what is there on Sunday night, my dear?” “The Grand and Ancient Order of Christian Fellowship.” “Why, I had forgotten. Am I a member of that? Let me see—” “But you have forgotten another society, John, of which you were once a member.” “Your wife's.”—The Candidate.
