HYPATIA.

Mrs. Edith Brown Ba1l1e, club report
er for Hypatia, writes the following in
teresting account of the April literary
meeting:
The monthly literary meeting was
held with Mrs. ]. M. Foster in her sub
urban home. Curraghmuir, Saturday
afternoon The day was most propitious
for the ride, either in swift moving au-
tomobile or by the ever faithful surrey
route. The attendance was full and all
arrived aglow with pleasure in the
springtime beauty of the country Mrs.
Foster greeted her guests with cordial
welcome, and cheering wood FIRE upon
the hearth
The programme proved one of the
most entertaining of the season for it
dealt with humor and humorists. 1t
was in able hands, for Mrs. ID. B. Ham
ilton gave the first paper on American
Humorists.s Mrs H. H. Wireless told
of international Types of Humor," and
Mrs. John S. Young read Dorothy Dix
upon suffrage The roll call quoted
flashes of wit brought out all the fun
that had been simrnering through the
evening The members giving the pro-
gram1ne numbers showed such inir1it-
able wit in handling Their subjects that
it would seem they were the inspirers
land not the famous ones of whom they
told. Funny stores and apt quotations
kept the assembly in a succession of de-
lighted peals of laughter.
Mrs. Foster, realizing the demands of
sharp. fresh spring afternoon, the ex-
hausting effects of laughter and the APP
probation her good cheer always re-
Iceives, served luncheon of two courses
that included salad, sandwiches, relishes,
a cup of tea, cream and cakes.
A short business session was called to
l.read the resignation of Mrs. J. B. john
son, owing to her present residence
away from the city The resignation was
accepted with deep regret as Mrs john
son was a very valued member.
A delightful surprise then awaited the
ladies, for Mrs. Fosters three grand
daughters, Claiborne Foster-C omegys,
Lucille and Eleanor Foster gave a most
artistic and graceful dance that called
in play the poetry of motion. Elegant,
chanste and exquisite was the grace of
the little maids who followed the music
as if their supple young limbs were in
spired by its measures. The spectators
were charmed by their illustration of an
ART that is now Sc fashionable, inter
pretive parlor dancing, and also so bene-
fetal in its development of grace and
health

THE DoGGER BANK AFFAIR.

During the Russo-Japanese war when
the Russian fleet fired on the British
fishing vessels. it looked as if war would
result All England was a1ane at what
appeared a gross insult. But under this
rule of inquiry England could honorably
refer this matter to an investigating
committee One was appointed, which
proved that the Russian ships had mis-
taken the British fishing vessels for the
japanese feet. The committee ordered
an indemnity of $4,000 to Be paid by
the Russian government to the families
of the fishermen and both sides were
satisfied with the outcome of this un-
happy occurrence. This was averted, and
the @Dogger Bank Affair" as this was
called will always be regarded as an i'm
portant event in world affairs.

MARK TWAIN.

The pseudonym Mark Twain so
lightly picked up by Samuel Langhorne
Clemens, is known to more people of all
conditions the world over than any 9TH
er in this country. The term is one used
by the Mississippi river pilots to indi-
cate the depth of water, two fathonls,
when throwing the lead. It was first
employed by a river correspondent in
reporting the state of the river to a
New Orleans newspaper. This reporter
died just about the time Mr.. Clemens
began 10 write and he took the name.
Mark Twain was universally recognized
as the greatest American humorist. His
books have been translated and very
widely diffused and read in German,
French and other languages. He has a
lasting place in the world of letters
Now that he has gone, the literature of
Our hearts and home will be the poorer.

APRIL RAIN.

APRIL RAIN.
1t is not raining rain to me
It's raining daffodils,
In every dimpling drop | see
Wild flowers on distant hills.
The clouds of gray engulf the day
And overwhelm the town,
1t is not raining rain to me,
It's raining roses down.
It is not raining rain to me,
But fields of clover bloom
Where every buccaneering bee
May find bed and room.
A health unto the happy!
A fig for him who frets!
1t is not raining rain to me,
It's raining violets.

CHARMING ENTERTAINMENT.


The first of a series of three teas ar
ranged by the practical work committee
of Hypatia of which Mrs. J. D. WiEkin-
son is chairman, was given Tuesday af-
ternoon at Mrs. Shuttlewortt's hospit-
able home The reception suite was
beautiful with April blossoms, crystal
vases of roses ornamented the mantels,
and royal red lilies in a big bowl made
the handsome decoration OF the tea ia
bic, from which dainty cups of fragrant
Bohea brew were served by Miss Raw
Ter and a bevy of her charming compan-
ions. There was lively interest in the
guessing contest, which called for recog-
nition by name of the likeness of we'll
known authors, arranged on panel in
the hall. Another panel exhibited photos
of prominent club women in the town
and State. Much amusement resulted
from the failure to recognize the fanlil-
liar faces of some of our townswornen.
Mrs. John Young Snyder was presented
the prize, a dainty booklet, for having
made the greatest number of correct an
swers.
A short literary and musical pro-
granme was enjoyed. Mrs. Egan read
a fine paper on the Psychology of Mu-
sic Vocal selections were contributed
by Mrs. Flood. Miss Doster and Miss
Duplan and a charming violin number
by Miss Ponder
Hypatia's first tea was a delightful
success, which is a bright prediction for
the two to follow at Mrs. Wilkinson's
and Mrs. Howard Prescott's.
