MONDAY CLUB ENTERTAINED.

Last Monday was Presidents Day
with the Monday Club and the ladies
were entertained at the we'll appointed
home of Mrs. s. G. Williams. The in
vitations to the function were decided
ly unique, being hand painted upon au-
tumn leaves. The house was artist
cally decorated with autumn leaves and
chrysanthemums. The program was
most interesting and was in part as
follows: "History OF the Club" by
Mrs. W. P. Harris; vocal solo, by Mrs.
W. L, James; original poem, by Miss
Annie Kennedy; piano solo, by Mrs. J.
J.. Hunt. The feature of the evening
was novel contest in which all took
part. Mrs. Williams had selected six
teen quotations from famous writers
and the ladies were to name the au-
thors. The quotations were as follows;
No. /.
The melancholy days have come,
The saddest of the year,
OF wailing winds and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sere.

No comfortable feel in any member
No shade-no shine-no butterAies-no

No fruits-no aowers-no leaves-no

The day is cold and dark and dreary,
1t rains and the wind is never weary,
The vine still clings to the Wondering

And at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.

Over seven millions of people have said

A few said it did not. The majority
