from the fact that il occurred on the day
following the great holiday and the deco

season, although no attempt was made to
limit the program To Christmas subjects
Prominent features of the decorations
was an evergreen tree, hung with decor
alive figures and lighted with clusters
OF miniature incandescent lights. Holly,
laurel and cut flowers were abundant
wherever they could beautify the scene.
The decorations were in charge Of the
hostesses Mrs. Bertha Steward and
Mrs. Lois w Patten.
Mrs Martha l., Griffin, president OF
Sorosis, was detained at bone by illness
and the conduct of the meeting deyolved
upon Mrs. Garry L. Bassett, the vice
president. The program consisted of
instrumental music rendered by an or
chestra composed of Misses Berle and
Elsie Walton and Messrs Earle and Char
les Smith; and readings by Miss Ha ze
A. Sprague of Auburn. All who were
privileged to listen to the program are
unreserved in their praise of Its every
feature, Miss Sprague is the daughter
of lady who has been for many years
close friend of Mrs. Griffin, the club
president, and it is through this circum-
stance that oorosis was so fortunate AS
TO have her services at this time She
il very young to have mastered the art
of public address and the ladies of Soro-
sis are sure that brilliant future awaits
her as a professional dramatist. Miss
Sprague Is at present pupil of Miss
Lawton's school of expression IN Bos-
ton. The music and the readings were
enjoyed by the club as courtesy from
their president, and it was most un-
happy fortune which decreed she should
not be among the number able to enjoy
them.
