OF interest is the annual banquet which
is given by Western Sorosis in celebra-
tion OF Lincoln's birthday. The banquet
was given this year at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. A. Zahner on Topeka avenue.
At 7:3O the guests were seated at two
T-shaped tables and an elaborate four
course banquet served. The red rose is
the club flower and a quantity Of these
with trailing vines of smilax were strewn
over the tables. At each cover was a
pretty card containing the programme
and an American flag in one corner.
This banquet also served as a house
warming for Mr. and Mrs. Zahner's S
handsome new home.
Miss Effie Graham, the president of
the club made very clever toast mis-
tresS. The subjects of the tOaStS were
the names of a number of late popular
books but in most cases they were ap-
piled to subjects different from those of
the author. 1t is needless to say that
the speeches were full of wit and humor
and were thoroughly enjoyed by the
guests.
The subjects were as follows: 'aThe
idiot at Home" Mrs. w. A. A1cCarter;
THE Powers That Prey" Dean J. W.
Sykes; s'Innocents Abroad" Mrs. d. c.
Nellis; ''The Reign of Law" A. A. God
