topic, and a debate, Resolved, that
man is more directly the cause of di-
vorce than woman, was the principal
number on the program. The affirma-
tive side of the question was presented
by Mrs. Hartwell and Mrs. A. T. Bus

committee chosen to decide the debate
is composed of women, it is needless to
say that a decision in favor of the
affirmative was rendered. An informal
discussion of the topic followed the ar

with violin obligato by Mrs. Nichols,
concluded the program. The hostess
served light refreshments.
