One OF the most interesting occurrences
OF the past week was the appearance
OF Mrs. Gusts Hubbard before the Wo-

of enunciation. tone meditation. and OF
gestures, which are all so essential 10
graceful speech. whether on the stage or

Monday afternoon. when she devoted
her time 20 entertaining the members OF
the Woman's Club, by recitng several
poems and dialogues. what was most evil
dent In her speaking was the life-like
simplicity which is so near TO perfection

ranting, no startling voice gymnastics,
which so often startle us. And one min
ute she had her audience on the verge OF
tears. and the next they were beyond the
verge Of laughter. Mrs. Hubbard leaves |
the city this week to make her home in |
