The Young Ladies' Sodality of St. Thomas church gave a very successful banquet, in parisan hall, Wednesday about forty ladies being present a number of them being from Ypsilanti.

Father Kelly was the only man present and when called upon by the Prefect to toast the young ladies, "roasted them," according to the opinion of one who was present, but so gently that all could see the hidden smile behind his words. He said '"he felt like Daniel in the lion's den; considered himself a rose between two thorns when he sat between the president and the Prefect." But grac he graciously thanked the Sodality for their work and assistance.

Toasts by the ladies were given around the banqueting table and with music and song the night was merry.
