Current Topic Club Farewell to lts
President

A most delightful social event took
place Monday at the home of Mrs. E.
F. Dudley. The affair was given by
the members of the Current Topic club
tor the president Mrs. M. d. Roth, who
will soon leave for California.
On their arrival the guests were
shown to Mrs. McCurdy's apartments
after which they were invited into the
Dudley rooms where the dining room
table was exquisitely arranged for a
one o'clock luncheon. which was serv'
ed by Misses Elsie Whipple, Louisa
Gould. Ethel and Edith Davies, Marion
Davis and Rizpah Terbush, Covers
were laid for thirty. The table was
beautifully and elaborately decorated,
the color scheme being pink.
After the ladies were seated at the
table, Mrs. Dudley, who acted as toast
director, attracted their attention to
the favors with the following little
speech: "Your committee has taken
the berty of supplying the current
topics for this afternoon which will be
imbedded in the pink boxes before you.
If like the boxes there are no chestnuts,
the flavor is sweet and wholesome and
perchance sonnet hing little gingery
that will add not only 10 the digestion
but also to our entertainment. After
each of the five courses, six guests in
turn, were asked to read their current
topic, which proved to be mosJ clever
and interesting.
The dinner was ended by the follow.
ing words by Mrs. Dudley: 1T is al.
ways understood we are more generous
when we have been comfortably fed sc
now seems the most fitting time to pass
the contribution box. AS the Offering
is for our honored guest, our president,
we take every precaution that only ouI
best coin of the realm be accepted
therefore will each member kindly give
the face value of her contribution az
she places it on the tray" The con
tributions proved to be place cards on
the back of which, each lady had writ
ten sentiment, wish or toast for the
guest. The following lines were taken
from one of the cards: MAY the pop
py laden dreams of Callfornias most
golden day., be no sweeter than the
memories of the old time Monday
afternoons with the Current Topic
club"
The cards were then strung on rib
bon and tied to the bouquets, which
adorned the table and we're present ted
to the president of the club as SOU

Separate Oepots Favored.

For the third or fourth time this
year the Owosso Improvement Associ-
alton went on record at its MONDAY
lunch Tuesday as being in favor Of
separate depots being maintained in
{ lis city at or near the present loca-
tons. This action was unanimously
recommended by the committee which
has in charge the depot matter and the
report, In the form of resolutions, was
adopted by the Association with but
one dissenting vote. The plan fayors
the erection of the Michigan Central
station at the junction, the Ann Arbor
and Grand Trunk to occupy same as
tenants, the erection of a new Grand
Trunk station near he Washington
street crossing 80 that it would be
easily accessible from the street car
line, and the maintenance of the Ann
Arbor station on its present site until
such time as the management is pre-
pared to erect "a new building which
will provide depot accommodations and
rooms for the several offices now
scattered about the yards.
The plan contemplated will accomo-
date all parts of the city without in the
least discommoding any citizen in the
way of being obliged to go to distant
part of the city to take-a train.

stay in st. Johns. Asked regarding

himself as greatly pleased that the
