THE LITERARY
SECTION Of THE
MOndayClub EntertainS
the Entire Club.
1t Affords an Evening of Merriment
and EnjOymet to Members
and Friends.

The entertainment given on Satur-
day evening by the literary section of
the Monday club to the entire club in
the beautiful auditorium of the high
school building, was a great success.
As is generally known the Monday
club is divided into three sections,
the literary, musical and art sections
Each Of these sections are presumed
to entertain the entire club. once a
year. In addition to those belonging
to the club, each member can bring
one or more guests by paying an ad-
mission fee of twenty five cents. The
literary section was the first to fur
nish this entertainment and right roy
ally was it done on Saturday evening.
Mrs. B. d. Billinghurst, who is
president of the club, is among the
most energetic and enthusiastic pre-
siding officers the club has ever had,
and with the added enthusiasm of the
mem Ders the year has been a most
prosperous one.
The editor of the Journal Miner not
only had the privilege of attending
the entertainment on Saturday even
ing, but was doubly honored by being
the guest of the president of the club
for the occasion. A more enjoyable
evening than was spent there has not
fallen to his privilege to experience
for long time.
The programme of the evening was
prefsced by beautiful and skillfully
rendered piano selection by Miss
Annsbelle Bailey who also oficiated
as accompanist during the evening
and was followed by Mrs. j. B. Tom
linson who in the following we'll
chosen remarks announced the object
of the entertainment and the program
of exercises:
Members of the Monday Club. and
friends:
We, the literature section. have
devoted the entire year to the study
OF the sublime "Mind and Art" of
William Shakespeare, working with
the plots and characters of three of his
most noted plays, catching glimpses
of the many sided wisdom of this
Thousand souled dramatic poet;''
learning practical lessons of human
life and character as portrayed in
these dramas. Our studies thus far,
have been only tragedy, we have paUs-
ed to look at the grave and serious
side of life.
We now ask your kind and earnest
attention to the program.
The program consisted of four num-
bers. The first was a chorus by The
Star Section of the Club" meaning
of course the literary section. The
ladies we're all gowned in white and
presented a beautiful appearance on
the stage, while the singing was also
good.
Number two was a farce in one act
by the Stars of the Star Section under
the management of Mrs. Fannie Kautz,
entitled, "Place aux Danes, ''or The
Ladies Speak at Last. " The charac-
tiers we're Lady Macbeth, Mrs. W. I.
Brown; Juliet, Mrs. 7. II. Bate;
Portia, Mrs. WV. Ross. and Ophelia,
Mrs. j. L. Munds.
This afforded no end of merriment
60 the audience, as each of the charac-
ters were excellently sustained, their
costumes were gorgeous in the extreme
and the lines full of humor, with an
occasional touch of Shakespearean
pathos.
A duet by Romeo and Juliet was a
very taking number, the music being
catchy but the singers were ROBBED in
sheets, so that with the lights turned
off, the audience was simply left to
guess who the singers we're.
The fourth and last number. which
was very amusing consisted of eight
solos, eight choruses and one encore
which was followed by the section yell
as follows:
"Zip, Zip, Fay; Ia Me Ray; Shak-
espeare Sec. Is All o. K.''
The names of the members of this
section follows:
