entertainment seems to have rivaled
the more formal one which recently
netted $3.50 for the piano fund. The
participants Thursday evening were all
asked to be prepared with some anus
ing stunt but all were for a time,
too bashful to break the ice, and Mrs.
Clark was prevailed upon to open the
program, doing SO with that familiar
and ancient classic, 'Oh, where, oh,
where, is my little dog gone, 'her feel
ings being SO wrought up that no one
felt equal to informing her that Slgman
knoweth the bourn from which no dog
returns. The exercises continued,
varying from wise to otherwise and in
GLIDING Rotations, conundrums, char
AIDES, etc. 1t will be remembered that
the night was more like December than
April and Mrs. Campbell touched a pop
ular chord with the following timely
~stanza:
Sprig, sprig, o gentle sprig,
We know you've cub at last,
Because our ed is all stobd up,
Ad sab is rudding fast.
An interesting feature was the read
ing of some newspaper clippings relat-
ing to the first meeting of the Woman's
club and other sessions during the first
year, this being Mrs. Knights contribu-
ton. The program included a violin
solo by Mrs. Stevens, a German recita-
ton by Mrs. Gibson, guitar selection
h., NIrc Cnoffar1 onl n pap,., f,,nral
grafton by Mrs. Clark, with other good
things too numerous to mention. The
refreshments are still the talk of the
town, each spinster having contributed
some special delicacy to tie menu. So
ample and tempting was the spread,
that the following lines were touching
'ly recited by-guess who:
Il ate cake and l ate jelly,
Till I'm going home with a pain in my
Now don't get excited-don't be misled,
For what I've got is a pain in my head"

The meeting of the Woman's club
last Saturday afternoon was of intense
interest, Prof. Knight speaking most
entertainingly and ~instructively on
food authorizations, illustrating his
theme wildly by means of a doll
dressed in clothes dyed with sub
stances extracted from various foods
on the market. Pure Food Commits
sioner Burke, the state official, was
present and spoke on the legal aspect
of the matter. Both gentlemen were
freely questioned by the club members,
and the session was productive of
much good to those present.

wife and children home today from
Los Angeles, Cal, where they have
been spending the winter with Mrs.
