Over a hundred employees of the paper assembled In the dining room of the Kimball at the bidding of Mr. F. L. Seely, The .Georgian’s publisher. Of more than one hundred employees, the absentees could bo counted on the fin gers of one hand, and these from un avoidable causes. Practically all those who are djrectly connected with the dally production flf The Georglun were there, and they enjoyed every minute of the time. In addition to the hundred and some- odd employees, a great many of their wives were present. Mr. Seely says every man’s wife should be his part ner In his work or his business and that the wife’s Interest In his work and surroundings make him a better work man. Whatever apprehension any one had before going that It would he a very formal and a very dressy affair was quickly relieved. "Andy’’ McGough did wear his best green necktie, but he said he couldn’t find M* other one. There were , name clever talks from Colonel Graves, Mrs. Ball and a heart-to-heart talk from Mr. Seely. There were some very In teresting stereopticon views, with ex planatory words about each—a quick but delightful Journey to out-of-the- way nooks of the world. The banquet was not a banquet Ban quets are formal and for formal bodies. But It was a mighty good, appetising dinner. If there’s anything on this mundane sphere that Manager Will Zimmer knows how to do it Is to plan, prepare and serve good things to eat for hungry mortals. And he showed his record-breaking nbility last night by handling In addi tion to the big Georgian dinner of over ono hundred and twenty-five plates, throe other big banquets—four under ono roof, A delay in the scheduled hour of 7 o’clock of u few minutes—the writer values his Job too highly to state the exact cause—hud whetted the appe tites of the family almost to the raven ous point. And how the delicious and substantia! courses did disappear! For It was a big family gathering. Nobody J t j, e fl r *i | l0U r everybody was so busy tried to put on style. Nobody was al- ministering to the needs of the Inner lowed to be formal or feel cramped. man that conversation .was desultory. Home one Insinuated that Colonel | fond of Mrs. Ball and believed her to Gruves’ frequent moves to chat with bt* the be*t society editor In the coun- thls and that member of the big family I try. But she sprang a surprise was only a clever ruse on his part to test the quality of sundry extra plates of bivalves on the shell. Anyway, everybody had as good and appetising a dinner ns could be prepared by the Kimball—which Is saying all that necessary. • With that first Important business of dining out of the way. Colonel Graves whs called on for an Informal talk. He glowed with tho spirit of the occa sion, and was never heard In a happier vein. It wouldn’t be right to tell what he said, because he was talking to the family, and it Isn’t proper to divulge family affairs. Hunshlne and laughter and humor and a touch now and then of deep feeling made It a talk no one will forget. Then Mr. Seely talked In his whole some, hearty way. He took the family Into his confidence and told them what The Georgian had accomplished and the future; Ami those who heai new xeai and allegiance to this man w hose life and 'work mean sd much. Mr. Shirley Victor Brooks, with his rich, deep basso, rendered that grand old hymn, "Rooked In the Cradle of the Deep.” Ho prolonged and hearty was the appluuse that he responded with ’Believe Me." The Georgian family has always been every one. Called on for some re marks, she made the hit of the even ing with a brief and witty little talk. Everybody had previously conceded the palm to Colonel Graves as the best of after-dinner speakers, but there Is di vided opinion In the office now*. And the colonel has gone over to Mrs. Ball’s side. Th4n Mr. Seely took the family for a little Jaunt around the world. Not tho regulation views one sees anywhere, but pictures made by Mr. Seely, which added the necessary personal touch. He took the family to odd corners of the world and to see quaint and cu rious people. Every time he got to "Darkest Egypt" the steroptlcon. In evident sympathy with the subject, failed. But the trou ble wus quickly righted and the Inci dents only added to the merriment. At 11 o’clock good nights were said and everybody went home with the memory of one of the most delightful evenings of their lives. Those present were Mr. and Mrs. F. L.
