Fortnightly Club.

The regular meeting of the Fort
nightly club was held at the home of
Mrs. Sam Campbell of Pennsylvania
avenue with one of the largest attend
ance the club have had this year.
The subject of the program for the
evening. The Trend of Our National
Life in Woman's Realm" was, indeed.
an excellent one and under this head
several papers were read.
The first paper, which was to be
read, was Woman in the Profession"
| by Mrs Joseph Allen, but she failed
to respond. The next on the program,
The Wage Earning Woman" by Mrs
W. A. Upton. brought forth a lengthy
and able discussion.
Mrs. Charles d. Davidson gave the
| next paper on Woman as a Political
Factor" This paper brought up sever
al good points in the woman's favor,
and the subject was discussed literally
by the members present and the ma
jority decided that women as a political
factor would be invaluable if she were
once given the opportunity to show
what she could do.
| The last paper of the evening was
| by Miss Lila Schoeneman, president of
the club, on Our American Girls" The
paper was excellent, and was, indeed,
appreciated by all in attendance.
Arrangements were made for the
annual banquet of the club, which is to
be held on April II.
| The members will go to Chicago in
the afternoon. At o'clock an excel
lent dinner will be served at the Palm
er House. which will be literally in
terspersed with toasts. which the mem
bers are preparing.
After the dinner a theater party will
be formed. The members are looking
forward to this annual event, thinking
it will be one of the most enjoyable
ever held.

Mrs. Harry Tilton entertained the
| Womans Foreign Missionary society
at her new home on Laporte avenue
last Tuesday evening The storm kept
away a number of expected guests. but
those who ventured forth felt amply
repaid for the effort. The topic for
the evenings study was Siam. the
land of the white elephant, and the
white elephant was very much in evil
dence, one of these interesting animals
having been provided for each guest.
Mrs. Humphreys had charge of the
program, and gave the review of the
study book, and interesting articles
were read by the Misses Richards and
Rheard. The musical part of the pro-
gram was intensely enjoyable. as Mrs.
Swartz and Miss Rheard were accom-
modating enough to sing several de
lightful solos, and Mrs. Tilton was
prevailed upon to give some readings,
which were much appreciated. Little
Miss Ruth Tilton, the talented daugh-
ter of the hostess added much to the
enjoyment of the occasion by her play
ing. Mrs. A. J. Carey assisted the
hostess in serving bounteous and de-
licious refreshments.
