SHAkESPEARE CLUB.
The Shakespeare club at its meeting on
Friday afternoon listened to two very in
terestlng papers. the first being by Miss
Anna Dane on "Frauce Under the Diretor-
ate'. Miss Dane thought that now while
political questions we're absorbing much of
the attention of the people was a particu-
larly favorable time to review the past and
endeavor to profit by the mistakes then
made. She described the condition of the
French nation at the time the directorate
assumed control of affairs, the great
struggle through which it had passed and
The herculean tasks the directorate had be-
fore 1t with so little to work with. The
Count de Barras and his memoirs were re-
ferred to, particularly the portion which
referred to the directorate and its history,
and the essay showed thoughtful study
throughout.
Mrs. Grace Clark read an interesting
paper on "The Work and Personal Char
acteristics of DR.. Parkhllrst''. Mrs. Clark
drew graphic picture of the condition of
our large cities, with large areas
almost given III: to the criminal classes,
while no portion is free from the blighting
curse of degradation and crime, the very
government being in many cases
given to the lowest element of the
population. She gave brief biography
Of DR.. Parkhurt, described the work of the
Lexow committee, as well as the personal
work of DR.. Parkhurst in visiting the lowest
dens of infamy, accompanied by young
man and another who was detective, the
police opposing his Investigations at every
turn, until finally the better element of
the city was aroused and Tammany was
overthrown. discussion followed on DR..
Parkhurst's views of women, participated
in by Mrs. Chaplin, Mrs. Dane, Mrs. Par
ker, Mrs. Webb and others, the general
sentiment being that DIR. Parkhurst was
decidedly narrow IN his ideas regarding
women.
