Gideon on Tuesday, March 10. After
the reading by the secretary of Miss
Shansenbach's paper, THE Hague,
Mrs. Carleton. by request, repeated
her excellent paper given the previous
week before the Child Culture club
After the serving of refreshments the
club adjourned for two weeks.
THE AGLAIA.
Mrs. George Matson welcomed the
members of Aglaia to her home last
Tuesday. The literary programme
opened with a we'll prepared paper on
wit and Humor'' by Mrs. Rankin
She began by defining and comparing
these two qualities of the intellect.
Then we were treated to hasty gllmpses
into the lives and writings of the
best known American humorists from
the old Knickerbocker times of Irving
even unto our own Riley and Samuel
Clemens of today.
The programme for next years work
was submitted for approval. and the
interest manifested in it presages an
other year of good work for the club
During the social hour, Mrs. MatSon,
assisted by Mrs. Darling and Miss Kim
ball, served the daintiest refreshments
When the president, Mrs. Coulter,
again called to order it was to invite
those present to listen to paper by
Miss Moffett on Ralph Waldo Emer-
son." and never in the annals of the
club has a more classical production
been presented. The pen is inadequate
to do justice. Even Indifferent Emer-
sOnians were held spellbOund by the
beautiful thoughts which Scintillated
about those profound words of wisdom,
showing the aptnesS of her comparison
of Emerson's writings to the words OF
Holy Writ" showing the inspiration
that such genius brings, the impulse
that raises us above ourselves, and
thus ennobles humanity.
Not only was the religious and eth
ical side of this greatest of our thinkers
shown. but the philosopher, the poet,
the friend and the lover, all contributed
out of their bounteous gifts.
Ii Miss Moffetts object was to make
those love Emerson who never loved
before, and those who always loved,
now love the more" she was very sue
cesSful. The demand for a second hear
ing of this paper at future date was
universal. So delightful had been the
afternoon that all were 10th to leave.
The guests of the club were Mrs.
Cross of Salt Lake and Miss Gar
