PASADENA, April 2S.--The ladies of
the Shakespeare club celebrated their
eighth anniversary by entertaining their
friends at banquet at Hotel Green last
evening, to which the gentlemen were
invited as well as ladies' There were
about forty-five members present, and
a greater number of guests, so that the
number that sat down to the richly
laden tables exceeded hundred. The
tables were nicely decorated with flow
ers and the programs were beautifully
hand painted, the work being done by
Misses Lentz Maud Keyes Miller. Mel
lish, Bushnell, Jones, Ney, Meeker and
others.
Mrs. c. H. Keyes, the retiring presi-
dent of the club, presided over the pro-
ceedings with grace and dignity, speak,
ing few words of welcome as the guests
were seated. referring to the immortal
dramatist from whom the club was
named.
The first paper on the program was a
poem by Mrs. Emily Webb, modelled
after Longfellows Hiawatha. humorous
in style and very cleverly written. 1t
was satire upon the Twilight club in
it's action Of inviting the Shakespeare
club to banquet some time ago and
then Withdrawing the invitation when
it had decided to hold q board of trade
banquet instead.
Mr.. Polley's paper on The New Woman
from Disinterested Standpoint, was
clever handling of the subject from sew
eral standpoints, and was well received.
At it's conclusion Mr.. Chaplin arose and
with appropriate remarks, to the effect
that If Mr.. Policy was ever to become
Benedict it must be soon, since by the
time another leap year comes around
he would be too old, he had been dele
gated to lay the heart of the new wo-
man at his feet; whereupon waiter
came forward bearing a scarlet cake
in the shape of a heart, which was
promptly presented to Mr.. Policy with
great gusto, while he murmured his pro-
fuse thanks.
DR.. Pages subject, The California
Liar, was provocative of considerable
merriment, though he concluded that the
species does not flourish in this climate
at all, but is indigenous to the frozen
and blizzard-swept states.
Mrs. Chapin's paper, The George
Washington of the East, dealt with the
variuos classes of liars, which she divid-
ed into the real estate man, the news
paper man and other classes. seeming
to agree with the last speaker as to the
native habitat of the genus liar.
Mrs. A. X. Nash, the mother of the
club, made neat little speech, giving
some details of it's early history.
Woman VS.. the Society Woman, was one
of the best of the evening. She de-
picted the club woman as of much more
influence in the worlS owing to her
careful study and thought on the cur
rent topics of the day and the continual
use of her mind.
Gov Markham. DR.. Hull and Rev. H.
W. Lathe were called upon. each MAX
ing brief speech, which created inter-
est as well as some merriment
