Mrs, Clarence Ryan.
Among the guests Of the club were Mrs.
Nathan Il. Barton, Mrs. Dan O. King,
Mrs George II. Holmes. Mrs. Gertrude
Rugg Field. Miss Helen Potter Miss
Edith Vincent. Miss Lillian Boyle.
The Ardirhebish CLUB met at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Nicholas Berry on Atlantic
avenue on Tuesday afternoon, for a fur
ther considera ton OF the South Sea ISL
ands.
AT this time three excellent papers
were given by members of the club as
follows: The Island of Madagascar,
by Miss Grace Atkins; The Island or
New Caledonia" by Mrs. Frederick Hor-
ten -aFfa-.,,f tie 4-farfd- -of 4ehttf, by AIRS.
John G.. Burlington.
In taking up the Island of Madagascar
Miss Atkins gave a most complete and
entertaining description OF the island.
Taking up, first the geographical conGi-
tions she next touched upon the animal
and vegetable kingdom Of the same and
continuing described the natives; their
habits, customs, manner of dress, etc,
finally concluding with a reference to
The remarkable progress made by the ma
tives Of Madagascar during the past GEN.
tury. as foiows. "Ehe history OF Mad
agascar. especially during the past GEN.
tury. has been one or progress. From a
position OF obscurity IL has risen, by its
own strong efforts in the path Of social
and intellectual Improvements has secur-
ed for itself a place among the lesser,
but still important nationalities in the
east"
The second paper of the afternoon by
Mrs. Horton considered the Island OF
New Caledonia, from its discovery by
Captain Cook. one hundred and ten years
ago After enlarginB upon the inherent
possibilities of the future for these ISL
ands of the Pacific, Mrs. Horton closed
with the words of Senator William Sc
ward who. after his journey around the
world remarked, that The Pacific ocean,
its shores. it's islands, and the vast re-
gions beyond. would become the chief
theatre of events in the worlds great
hereafter"
The last paper Of the afternoon by Mrs.
Burlington. discoursed upon the Island of
Tahiti. beginning as follows: Tahiti,
the subject of this paper has little OF
history, story or romance. Tragedy there
has been for those poor wretches who
have fallen beneath the murderous blow
of barbarous natives, or perished upon
the cruel reefs which surround the ISL
and. But as such remote tragedies must
be the elimination Of some story or ro-
nance 20 awaken any sensation, other
than horror, the writer OF a paper on this
subject is reduced 10 the narration OF
plain facts and dry statistics" IL must
be added. however that Mrs. Buffng
toms "plain facts and dry statistics"
made up a most attractive paper.
Following these papers several piano
solos were rendered by Miss Grace Berry
and ices and confections were served by
the hostess at the close of the formal
program.
