ident and after pretty little speech
expressing the high appreciation OF
the club for Miss Dysart's able direc-
ton. and wishing for her many happy
returns Of the day. presented her
with a handsome gold mounted foun-
tain pen and a diary, as token of
their affection and esteem for her. A
beautiful bouquet was also presented
to the honored head of the club. with
the compliments of the club The as
tonished recipient of these honors,
as soon as she had recovered from
the surprise, expressed her thanks for
the attentions showered upon her in
the most sincere terms.
The program for the day included
the study of George Eliot, her life
and works. The paper for the after
noon was written by Miss Florence o.
! Macy X furnished an excellent an
alysis fthe life and ethics of the
noted novelist The works of Eliot
were then discussed at length. and
much interesting information brought
out in regard to them.
The program also included a very
enjoyable recitation in negro dialect
by Miss Blackshear and very fine
piano performance by Miss Morris.
