ing' or in her own words, "A TheSlS
on Man. The toast was given IN
rhyme. with the sparkle that makes an
after-dinner speech pleaslng. .i5 1TV-
Father Murphys subject was Tne
Sphere of Woman" He said: The
sphere of woman is the home. When
Napoleon was asked what France most
needed, he answered, Mothers and 1t
is for the lack of the domestic virtues,
that France is dying. Women should be
educated, but education that places her
among criminals as a lawyer, or in the
operating room as a doctor, is wrong.
A woman who so far forgets herself as
to go onto the lecture platform and
talk politics, is not entitled to the name
of woman. AS to women having the
right to vote, there are nine of every ten
women who should be allowed to vote.
if there are fourteen out of every fifteen
men so privileged, for they would vote
intelligently and would be interrupted.
but what is the use of her voting; for
the training of the citizens of tomorrow
is in her hands. and the power is really
hers"
Mr.. <. u. Whitted's toast was 1.-THE
Club Woman at Home" and Mrs. Paul

the program with a toast to the ladies.
Mrs. John Mowers name was on the

The pleasure of the occasion was
somewhat marred by an unfortunate
occurrence in which some michievous
boys outside started the automobiles
belonging to Mr.. Paul Huycke and DR..
McDonough, for the fun of witnessing
a headon collision. DIR. McDonough'5
