Local Society Women Receive for
the Peoples Church.
A very unique and instructive social
was given last evening at the residence
of DR.. and Mrs. Pine, S73 Lincoln ave-
nue., by the Ladies' Sewing Circle of
the Peoples Church. Invitations had
been issued for Greek party and a
great deal of curiosity was thus ar
oEsed- Mrs. Pine, Mrs. H. w. Mattress
and Mrs. Monty, attired as Grecian
matrons, received the guests, while
assisting throughout the rooms were
the Misses Robinson, Ames. Cook.
Smalley, Hammersly and Haughs, all
dressed in the flowing Greek robes.
The walls of the rooms were decorated
with copies of ancient paintings and
famous Grecian statuary.
l., A. Straight read paper on mod
ern Greece, Her Achievements and Des-
tiny" Mr.. Straight gave a brief his
tory of Greece before the present day,
showing her wonderful victories. and
closed his historical review by saying
that although Greece is considered a
monarchy her government is really
| republican. During the past CEN
tury," said Mr.. Straight, "the manu-
factories have increased wonderfully,
and in shipping facilities and busi-
ness Greece stands seventh only in
the WOItu. HI NIFSeCe COIe6 successive
grades of schools lead to the uniVer-
sity. First the dematic of primary ma
tional schools, second the Hellenic or
secondary school and third the gym
nasia, the latter being considered
| equal to the famous German gym
nasium. All instruction in these schools
| is gratuitous and the love Of knowl-
edge seems an instinct with the peo-
pie. More than five per cent of the
total public expenditure is in the inter-
est of education. The result of this
system is the disproportionately large
number of men with university edu-
cation in the laboring class. Mr..
Straight closed his paper by saying
that the destiny of Greece was to ex-
tend her influence of culture to sur
rounding countries.
DR.. S. G. Smith was introduced by
Mrs. Pine as Pericles. DR.. Smith
opened his address by saying that he
was not Pericles, but Limpo Cretes, king
| OF the crlpples, and that he was at
one time the private secretary and
minister of finance to Pericles; that
he had swooned from grief when Per-
icles died and had been buried for
dead, but had been awakened in this
century by the voice of a woman suf-
rage speaker. DR.. Smith then gave a
brief biographical sketch of Pericles
also telling the history of the Greeks,
II ON the standpoint Of Greek,
lie spoke of the wonderful temples
ana of the Parthenon, and gave descrip-
tlons Of the beautiful buildings erected
during the life of Pericles and under
his direction. DR.. Smith closed his
talk by saying that Pericles was one
OF the first Greeks to believe in the
soul and for that reason he had been
serene IN war and tumult brave and
good always
