Al the Womans Club.
Mrs Lucien II. Cooke, of Roanoke,
read several OF her Fascinating dialect
stories before the members OF the
Womans Club yesterday afternoon,
and charmed all by her perfect In
donations, varying with the several
characters she portrayed. Her per-
sonality is very magnetic, and from
the beginning she attracted her listen
ers who smiled when she smiled, and
cried when she cried. SO strongly were
they In sympathy with her. Her first
reading was Miss Race Horses
Party" an amusing little character
sketch, from her recent book. BY
Paths In Dixie" relating an old col

/ The sketch, entitled Phyllis Hunting
! a Situation" evoked both laughter
/ and tears, as Mrs. Cooke told OF the
! old negress' vain attempts to live
with the newly rich and her pathetic
devotion to her former mistress. Mrs,
Cooke also gave a selection. IN which
an odd character in Georgia
Cracker" woman, figured humorousiy.
The readers rendition OF the several
dialects, the negro, the Irish, the Ger
man Jew and the Ignorant Cracker
woman, was exceptionally splendid.
