SHAKESPEARE CLUB


The Shakespeare club listened yester-
day afternoon to two papers which were
first presented TO the Friday Morning
club of Los Angeles by their writers, who
are m I'M bers of that club. The first was
BIZ Mrs Margaret Collier Graham, the
subject being Sym bolism in Literature +,
nd the subject was handled in an entcr-
tanning and original manner by this well
known writer, much To the enjoyment OF
her audience. She thought that while
there is much that is good in sym bolism,
the tendency is t. overdo the matter
when it is used at all. Speaking of some
of the French writers, she characterized
them as mere jueglers with words, con
structing sentsnces in whIcht neither
they nor any one else could find a mean
ing, for the simple reason that there was
no meaning there.
Mrs. Enderlein followed Mrs. Graham
with paper upon Maurice Mettsrlinch,
the great Belgian imrres sionist, from
whose works she read weird extracts and
compared his genius to that OF Shake
spearc.
At the conclusion of the literary feast
dainty refreshments were served. Espe-
cial effort had been made Tor the &C.
casion. and the tea table decorated by
Miss Alice Dane presented very attrac-
tive appearance. Mrs. Nash and Mrs.
Braddock presided and pleasant hour
was spent over teacups in conversation.
The subject of the clubs making
floral entry in the rose tournament was
discussed, but nothing definite was de-
cided upon. Friday afternoon of next
week thres interesting papers will be pre-
sented, one by Mrs. Hines on current
Events, another by Mrs. Baldwin on
Marie Antoinette as a Queen, and the last
by Mrs. Hines on Marie Antoinette as q
Woman.
