A Japa1lese Luncheon.

The Ramblers celebrated their tenth
anniversary today and Mrs. W. M.
Hopkins entertained the club at a
Japanese luncheon at her home in Ken
wood. The affair was cleverly ar
ranged, and program and decorations
were decidedly novel and effective.
Japanese lanterns hung from the cell
ing and in the doorways, any number
Of them, and fans were also used rang
ing in size from the huge affair that
filed the window to the small fans on
the walls. The dining room was a
cherry garden with pink blossoms
everywhere. A big Japanese basket
held spreading cluster Of them on the
table and instead of place cards there
were tiny Japanese lanterns filed with
strange oriental sweets.
In the ten years since it's organiza-
tion the club has studied fifteen coun.
tries, and after luncheon an amusing
program was given in which each coun-
try was recalled by woman in cos
tune, who sang, played, told story or
danced. This vaudeville feature was
preceded by the singing of the Japan
csc hymn. All of the other GUESTS
were in Japanese costume with the ex-
ception Of the prophet, who in Egyp-
tian robes told the clubs future in the
den which was decked with Egyptian
hangings. The club history was also
given in rhyme. Of the forty-two
members Of the club, ten were charter
members
