GENTLEMEN NIGHT AT THE CAMPUS
CLUB.
The ladies of the Campus Club of
Albion, Wis, have once more distin-
guished themselves by the Pioneer sup
per given on the night of Jan. 20, 1912,
at the home of one of their members,
Mrs. T. J. Van Horn. The organiza-
ton has passed the experimental stage,
this entertainment being the fourth an
nual function in a series of brilliant
fetes given in honor of the husbands
and gentlemen friends of the members.
This year the subject of study at the
fortnightly meetings of the club is
Wisconsin," It was the well-execut-
ed intention that this evening should
have in all it's appointments decided
pioneer flavor. Consequently pioneer
things were in evidence everywhere,
from the golden pumpkin pie on the
table to the silvern hair of some of the
pioneer women seated at the festive
board. On one of the walls of the ban
quoting room there was seen the pic
ture of the log cabin, the pioneer home
of Duty Green. There was also on eX-
hibitiOn photograph of the pioneer
doctor, the late DR.. Rollin Head, and
his wife who sat at one of the tables.
Specimens of antique china, including
a pitcher from which Gen. Geo. Wash
ington poured water, was the occasion
of much interest on the part. of the
guests. Coverlids of ancient pattern,
woven by our pioneer mothers Is years
ago, were draped about the room. A
wagon chair" in which the long over
land journey from New York to Wis
consin was made attracted much atten-
ton. Further decorations were carried
out in the club cOlors, green and white.
The tables were grooming under a
weight of tempting viands, such as
only Albion women know how to pre-
pare, and were served in good old pio
neer fashion. Such was the abundance
at this feast that after an hour devoted
to the qualification of hungry appetites
it was remarked that there seemed to
be no diminution in the quantity of
food. The menu was as follows:
Chicken Pie Cold Ham
<f'ried Potatoes Hulled Corn
Baked Pork and Beans
Pumpkin, Mince and Apple Pie
Twisted Fried Cakes
JdrIS Sauces hollSneS
Coffee
After supper Mrs. Ernest A. Drake,
the efficient president of the Campus
Club, in few we'll chosen words re-
viewed the work of the organization
for the past five years, calling especial
attention to the study of our own be-
loved state the present year. She then
introduced Mrs. j. Q. Emery, who had
