THAT the lawns of Br0okhaven
Ihomes are veritable landscapes OF
leaf and bloom.
! In the Beach Department Of
music, Arthur Fo0te, who for two
years was leader Of The Glee Club
lof Harvard University, and a
composer of much greater preten-
lsions than GIee Club depths, as is
shown in his gavottes and noe
Iturnes and bis oaprieeio ID Minor
Suite and Symphonic Prologue.
1t is to be regretted that not one
number was given from this COM
poser, though each appointed
member bad q very good excuse;
which, however, is but a pos t.
ponement of The occurrence, and
lin the near future, the Foote num-
bers will be brought up with as
much zeal as they deserve.
For the next meeting is another
afternoon with the same compos-
er; his importance entities him to
this recognition, as F0ote is one
of the five foremost American
composers. Miss Kohlman. in
her sketch of the composers life,
handled her subject with care and
thought, showing that she had
given time and study to worthy
cause.
Mrs. Brown played SCher dino,
by Chadwick, so brilliantly that
laIl felt compensated for the dis
appointment Of two weeks ago,
when sickness prevented her Civ
| ing this number at the Chadwick
meeting.
| Mrs. Greenwood graciously
consented to favor the club with a
piano number. She gave Papil.
Ion, that fitting. delicate butter
fly etude of Lavallee.
Mrs. John Seavey's study Of
limo. Ruskin's Grown Of Wild
Olive was exquisitely worded
and she brought out the vital
points of the author and his works
in way that was instructive and
entertaining. She gave his views
of women, of life, Of faith SO we'll
that each felt the wish for better
acquaintance with the ethical
prnslst. Study Leslie Stephen,
The Science Of Ethies;1 Charles
Darwin's Descent of Man. by
Miss Pheifer were tWu instructive
papers combined.
The distinction between evoIu-
ltionism and Darwinism was clear
Fly defined, and the fact that Dar-
wins theories are not received by
scientists Of the present day as
they we're ten years ago, is d well
come inference.
This concluded the study work
of the club. Mrs. Bee then gave
an account of the proceedings Of
the West Point Federation, which
was cordially accepted, particular
Ely when it was learned that the
Brookbaven delegates had receiv-
led recognition. The Federation
will be held at Brookhaven in
1909.
Right here a few words of
thanks are due the editor of The
Leader. He mailed the delegates
copies of the latest edition of his
paper and it was the happiest
home greeting that could have
been sent them. They literally
deyoured its contents, so happy
were they to learn the home
events, as we'll as gratified TO feel
that they had been remembered
by him in this thoughtful way.
Delicious cream and hickory nut
cake, made by the hostess at the
clubs request, as well as other
cake, proves that the club women
are not wanting in the culinary
department of Domestic Science.
The special guests from afar
we're Mrs. j. Sachs, New Orleans,
Mrs. ?. H. Jones', of Baton
Rouge, and Mrs. Bishop, Of Me-
Comb City. Home guests we're
Mrs. +. II. Hartman, Mrs. FL.
Zwirn. Mrs. J. {. Butler and Mrs.
Max Prlebatsoh.
