Miss Mayme Robinson displayed
some ability in the manner she
showed the relations of fashions,
past and present. ''Some OF our
modern inventions are mere resur-
rections of ancient knowledge, an
evolution, as we of this nineteenth
century would term it. Everything
woman wears has a prototype to
be found shelved away in some
museum OF antiquity or otherwise
preserved from the past ages. To
briefly confirm. compare the
woman's dress Of Egypt, Rome,
Greece and France in the early
days with the woman's dress OF to-
day. Mans originality IN dress
conforms very close to that of
woman's. Cynics may sneer and
say women are slaves to fashion,
but the immortal Shakespeare
knew it was 'as good to be out of
the world as to be out OF fashion.
As long as Dame Nature delights
in ever changing colors and out
lines, women may not fear TO seek
different styles by which to show
their love of variety, their power
Of imitation and their sense OF what
is becoming"
Albert Norton's subject was "a
Peculiar People" In clear, con-
else way he gave their history and
their beliefs. "The Mormon church
is composed OF selfish, ambitious
leaders, criminals who join for pro-
lection from justice, and Ignorant
people who do not know the char
acter OF the organization. The OBJ
ject OF the Mormons is to get con
troll OF the government by any
means possible. They are a cor
rupt, law breaking organization,
and openly defy the government
Their principles are in direct oppo-
sition 10 the laws of God. When we
see what class Of people they are
We see how great danger was
averted when Brigham II. Roberts
was denied the illegally claimed
seat 10 the house Of representa-
tives."
In Dora Lynn's Grafton entitled
"Archias" the influence of Men Il
Letters was clearly set forth. So
many OF the daily toiling multitude
60 through life without having
their finer sensibilities aroused to
an appreciation Of the beauties Of
nature. In politics, in religion, in
business, in all the walks of lie we
need men to reveal us unto our
selves; to treasure up the good, the
true and the beautiful and in some
permanent form let it flood the
years that follow. Archias Of old
did it. The Archias of today
should let our primal duties shine
aloft like stars. to scatter AZ the
feet of man like flowers, the chari-
| ties that soothe, heal and bless.
| ssAt Home was the subject q
Rosa Whites oration. AT home
is the place where woman has hel
greatest and farthest reaching in
fiuence. The mother, the sistel
and daughter make the home
pleasant, and their silent influence
| by little deeds Of love and kindness
has been the means of making
many 4 life better and happier.
