Hypatia's' Fourteenth Birthday.

Hypatia celebrated her fourteenth birth
day on Thursday, January IS, at the home
of Mr.. NJ. A. Singer, West Side. There
were present about forty members, many
regrets being received from those unable
to attend. Several were out of town, and
several were housed, nursing that deplora-
BILE malady-the subject at once of tragedy
and humor-la grippe
Letters from Out-of-town members were
read: From Mrs. Clara Emerson, clerk of
Lawrence; Mrs. Julia K. Bennett. Kansas
City; DR.. Mamie Stevens, Kansas CITY;
Mrs. Leland, FL Dorado; Mrs. Sturdevant.
California, and Mrs. Hendryx, Cleveland,
Ohio. Once year Hypatia unbends from
her dignity and forgets to take life seri-
ously. Once year only, does the club
throw the momentous topics of study TO
the winds and abandon itself to the wis
dom Of foolishness. This is on the occasion
OF its anniversary. There is an unwritten
law that the committee, having the pro-
gram in charge, may spring any sort of
absurd surprise, and the members must all
participate and sanction.
This time. the assembly was led by easy
stages TO the climax
There was a recitation by Miss Mabel
Millison, Mark Twain's inimitable "Tele-

swer: Cosmopolitan" But they were by
no means all so easy as the examples
given. The prizes were awarded to Mrs.
Priddy and 10 Mrs. Ella Glenn Shields.
The menu at luncheon consisted of
chicken Salad. Escalloped Oysters
Bread and Butter.
Olives. Coffee Pickles.
Neapolitan Ice. Assorted Cake.

Report of the Leavenworth Art League,
A glance at our year book would tell
that the Leavenworth Art league has been
travelling in foreign lands. In London we
fingered in the neighborhood of Fleet

more than a century ago, we were intro

wandered through portions of the Vatican
and viewed with delight the Sistine chapel
adjoiaing. with It's wonderful and beauti-
full ceiling, painted by Michael Angelo so
many years ago, and, save for the smoke
of the incense, in a remarkable state of
preservation.
