R. Taft, of the Wayside Inn are the me- diums who controlled the spirits.

Mrs. Adams Lecture.

The Tuesday Club offered us a rare
treat last week, i III visit of Mrs.
Mary M. Adams = Madison. On
Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Adams
visited the Normal School where her
short talk to the udents could not
fail to impress dee piy all who heard
it. Its subject was Good Manner"
defined as the result of the blending
of four qualities-self-forge
self-respect, repose, kindness; each
topic was briefly discussed in words
Illuminated by the experience, and
warmed by the cordial, earnest spirit
OF the speaker.
Wednesday evening, the Congrega-
tional church was filed by an appreci-
alive audience, to hear Mrs. Adam
on 1.-THE Women of Shakespeare. =
She was introduced by Mrs. Ewing,
the president of the club, and after a
few graceful words depreeating her
ability to treat adequately a theme
so large, she singled out. in vivid
Nudi NNbSAl NaOAOiis hon VuOf NJ" an
other of the Masters creations, skill
fully contrasting Portia and Rosalind;
Queen Katharine and Cleopatra; and
giving dramatic rendering of the
scene between Lord and Lady
Macbeth.
Then, with briefer comment, she
grouped the women of the historical
plays; then the maidens, Miranda,
Perdita Juliet; again, the patient
Hermione, and the faithful Paulina
and the hapless DesdemOna.
All too soon, the evening slipped
away and the pleasant review ended
The ladies of the Club had planned
a reception after the lecture but Mrs
Adams feeling unequal to the fatigue
of reception, this was given up, and
she was entertained in more quiet
restful way by Mrs. w. d. Parker.
1t is to be hoped that Mrs. Adams
may be induced to repeat her visit tC
the Tuesday Club and that the Clut
will again generously share her visit
with the community.
