STRANGE FEAST
SUPERSTITION DEFIED Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. LONDON, February 3. (Received February 4, at 10 a.m.) For the purpose of defying superstition ‘members of the Seize Club dined at Dunkirk in _ circumstances which were as astonishing as any in the age-long history of hospitality. The head of the table was overshadowed by an authentic guillotine with a triangular blade stained with blood. The executioner was impersonated by a wild creature carrying a formidable knife. He was accompanied by a victim stripped for the execution. A basket was ready to receive his head. The diners were seated at tables covered with shrouds lighted by ghostly flickering candles, and the walls were draped in black. Members of the Seize Club pride theniselves on their courage in disregarding superstition. They say that the gathering throughout was of the gayest, despite the gruesome surroundings.
