 on Friday evening at the hall of the

Antwing, president; Harry White, first vice-presdent; M. s. Um- benhaur, second vice-president; Lag F. Fies, guide; w. w. Searcy. guardian Henry Bowman treasurer; Henry May CT, cOfreSpOnQlnS SecTetdTy, LeP Loeb, financial secretary. Entertainment committee: Harry

 Friday evening at the opera house Elisa" with it's cast of winsome maid ems and fascinating matrons, aroused the muse in the heart of one who rarely expresses the wealth of sentiment that is a large part of his manly nature. But, after looking and listening Friday even- ing he wrote the following excellent verses as a safety valve to his pent-up emotions:
 Eyes, eyes dark-blue eyes, A sea of charming calmness, Reflected from the skies. Sometimes sad and dreaming But pure, holy, seeming Never to disguise.
 l Eyes, eyes, hazel eyes, 1 A world of dreaming beauty Within them shining lies. And seen through silken lashes, The heart responsive flashes And our tender feelings rise. Eyes, eyes, large gray eyes, Frank with their expression, coldly make replies. Always energetic,
 Never sympathetic,
 Nor stay nor hush your cries. Eyes, eyes. jet black eyes, Mischief in their Winking, To love most each one VieS. Better watch them glancing, Demons with their dancing, They may bring you sighs | Last Friday afternoon Mrs. A. o. Lane | entertained the Cadmean circle in an es- | pecially handsome style It was St. Val | entine's Day, and the literary programme | was in keeping with the sentiment of the anniversary. Mrs E. J. Dunn read pa | per upon the Social Life in Ye Olden | Days" Mrs. James H. Going read one | upon "Ye Ancient Cookerie," and the diff ferent members of the circle contributed | interesting "reminiscences of St. Valen- | tines Day. Mrs. Chappell Cory. who was | a guest of the circle, read q beautiful oltl valentine written twenty years ago to | Mrs Jennie June Croly of New York, president at that time of Soross. After | the literary exercises Mrs. Lane allowed | each lady to draw a slip of paper, which would enttle her to a valentine, and one | slip would give the fortunate drawer the l prize valentine. Mrs. William B. Leedy | drew the prize. which was beautiful gold and silver spoon heart shaped, and | every other lady was presented with an | exquisite valentine as a souvenir. The refreshments were served at a large and | small tables in the dining room, each one | handsomely decorated with yellow em- | broideries and confections, with bowls and vases filled with great punches of | jonquls. There were jOnquils in profu- | sion also in the library The refresh l ments were all in yellow and white tints, | the colors of the Cadmean circle, and the | charlotte russo was served heart-shaped l in the golden rind of the orange. All the | dainty refreshments corresponded in col | or and suggestion, and the valentines were tied with yellow ribbon. The Cad | mean circle will meet next with Mrs. Maclin Sloss.
 The following beautiful lines were writ | ten several years ago by MT. Robert H. | Watkins:
 Mothers Love. The old, old love that never fades. | The one true love that never dies, That brightens sorrows darkest shades | Is mothers love in mothers eyes. | The tend'rest, most enduring love, l The gentlest love in all the lands, | The type the touch of heaven above l Is mothers love in mothers hands. | There's slIrest faith while others grope-
