the Sans Souci Club met with Mrs. G..

Nearly all the members were present,
and both needles and tongues flew until
about o'clock dinner was served.
Baked chicken and all the good things
that 20 with it rapidly disappeared. Af-
ter dinner many who were unable to
again take up work joined in an exciting
game Of finch, after which the regular
program was taken up. Quotations from
Longfellow; paper. "Shakespeare's Wo-
men" by Cora z. Stevens; an especially
fine paper on women in Journalism" by
Mrs. Babcook.
Miss Coleman and Mrs. Randall favored
the club with some fine music, which was
very much appreciated.
There were four visitors present: Mes
danes Davenport, Harris, Randall and
Miss Coleman. The session was very
much enjoyed by all present.
