TUP TWELFTH SIGHT CLUB'S NIGHT.

MAST FRIENDS PLEASANTLY ENTERTAINED AT

THE B_-RKEL_-T LYCEUM.

Thc Twelfth Night Club ls growing so popularamt mr Its friends and acquaintances that Its rooms

In Boot Twa nty-third-st. are no longer large enoughhold them. When this club of actresses and a

few women who are not actresses first took thename of Twelfth Night and began to hold the nightItself In honor the walls that broke its quarters up

ill rta of pleasant little nooks and corners

were quite wide enough apart to let all who hadtie- privilege c ma In and move about. Hut then- tl year the place was uncomfortably crowded,and last night the club had to get a larger placefor i living its guests.Th place chosen was the Berkeley Lyceum. The

clian-" was of advantage as far an mere bodilyri was concerned, but In another way lt was

of i. advantage at all. The men who were Invited-a this one nigh! of the year to meet the TwelfthNight flub ut home were especially delighted at the

to Ma the place wier.- a club of women

lived. Men ore always curious about women'sch.lii. Mn have had clubs for so long a time that

a. lt is understood, have ceased to be curiousabout tleiu at all. So the men who were at theE. rk ley Lyceum but night enjoyed the occasionliirtt-.eas, iy, as they could not help doing, but hadst iii one pang of regret that they had lost the one

chance a year that they uaed to have of seeing the

oct il room* nf the club. They used to flatter them-selvea s,, deUghtfuIly, too. with the thought thatthe .lui, Itself enjoyed Its own house more on

Twelfth Night than any other time.Th" parla- where the reception was held was

handsomely decorated with holly anal other greenthin.:* appropriate to the Christmas season. In oneci mer was via: was called a tavern, and lt was

enough like one to rejoice the heart -f Slr Tobyfte Eh. Ita sign was a portrait of Shakespeare,framed In ahlnglea fr uti the bouse where he waab rn. The tavern also displayed the motto bodear alwaya to the club and Its guests: "Don't'lld. " cause thia art virtuous there shall be notn ire cakes arel al..." Ther- wre pl,*nty of cakesral ile, the latter in a keg, with stone mugs to

drink u from, and there were ola joints of beef.ni. and ali sort "f things of an old English

sort, with a baal's head high up in the midst ofall and a yule candi" burning in front of Its nose.The guests began to v cn" at i o'clock, and kept

coming till U. when thc club aasembled around thei i lent, Mi-s Alice Flacher, at -ne end .f the

ni I drank out of th" loving cup. Then theii cake w.,s eerved, with tts ueual prophesies

*, wealth or continued celibacy. Throughi .vening the members "i" the club and others

tali the uni my with nong-, recitationsand Instrumental music.Among those present were Miss Eleanor Mayo,

Henri Mar;.m. Brander Matthews, Mr. and Mrs.''' rles liarnard, Samuel E. Clemens. Miss AliceEl er, Ml s mia Starr, Miss Mary Bhaw, Mrs.'. ¦'¦ M 'Auley, Mr, and Mrs. ll. r. Knowles.
