1t is whispered that the play is a sa-
tire on-well, that will be better told
on Wednesday morning; but let no club
member absent herself lest she beat her
breast in grief on the morrow.
On December 80 the ladies of the So
cial science department will entertain
the sufferers at the County Hospital.
Much that we owe the city's wards we
cannot give them now, but we can at
least bestow little good cheer. A pipe
of tobacco and dish of dainties are
thrice welcome to the palates of the
friendless poor. A programme has been
arranged Of much merit, among the
singers being Miss Mabel Quatman, the
silver-voiced singer of ST. Mary's.
Much credit for the kindly work is
due to Mrs. Jacob Brandt, Mrs. Arthur
Cornwall Mrs. Scott, Mrs. z. c. Mon
son, Mrs. E. P. Avery, Mrs. Loron E.
Barnes, Mrs. Nelson, Mrs. w. 1.
Marion and Miss Patton. OF this num-
Der Mrs. Monson is especially devoted
to the hospital work, carrying to the
sufferers all through the year delicacies
and such small comforts as the pain
racked body longs for.
Mrs. z. p. Avery has for her especial
care the County Jails. On Christmas
day the boys vested choir visited the
Broadway jail and gladdened the
hearts of the unfortunate who were
passing Christmas behind prison bars.
Who shall say that women's clubs are
not lifting the shadows that darken
the hearts of men?
On Saturday afternoon the Associa-
ton Of University Alumnae met at the
Sorosis clubrooms for a Christmas
greeting OF this clever body of young
women are graduates Of twenty-three
universities.
Mrs. Albertine Randall Wheelan, the
clever water colorist, was the guest
Of honor at the luncheon. Captain
Robert II. Fletcher, curator Of the
Hopkins Institute Of Art, entertained
the members and guests by a delight
full address on THE Progress of Art in
California" The president of the asso-
citation, Miss Katherine Chandler, has
just issued a clever book upon the fora
of California, of which the club is just
ly proud.
