SECOND ANNUAL BANQUET.
Ladies Culture Club Royalty Entertsins at the Lundberg Fome Friday Night

The Ladies Culture club gave it second annual banquet at the beatifu home Of Dr. and Mrs. Lundberg Friday evening of last week, the occasion be ing one of the happiest events that hai ever taken place in Green Forest.
 It was both rich and abundant re past and a sumptous intellectual feast rejecting extreme credit upon the gooc women, who are seeking by organ. zation to build up the mind, character and habits that go to make more usefu and intelligent women.
 Besides club members and their hus- bands or gentlemen friends, there were present quite few guests of the club, swelling the number of participants to total of about fifty.
 After an elaborately prepared four course luncheon of strawberries and whipped cream, pickles, olives, radishes, chicken pie, mashed potatoes, salad, salted almonds, bon bons, pine apple sherbit, cake and coffee, the President of the club, Mrs. Burney, in a few well-ehosen remarks introduced the Toastmistress, Mrs. Kinney, who pre- sided over the deliberations of the evening with a skill becoming an artist. Her introductions were replete with the most pleasing wit, remarkably appro- priate to the occasi on.
 Following the addresses of the Presi- dent and Toastmistress came piano duet by Misses Shaffer and Burney, which was most skillfully executed.
 'Weeds" was the theme of the toast assigned to Miss Orton and the thoughts presented by this talented young teach CT were little less than inspiring. There are no such thing as weeds as the name weed implies. In the economy of nature the daisy is as sweet as the rose. Every leaflet has it's mission in the world.
 Our future" was the subject of an excellent toast by Mrs. Harden, The rapidity with which women have ascended into the busiAess and political world during tho past few years indi- cates clearly that it will not be long until many industrial and political pur- suits will be in control of women, Looking ahead a score of years she could see female architects, bankers, engineers, mayors, governors and even presidents. So complete will be the revolution of laws and customs that It will eventually be the man who will be asking for aiimony.
 MT. Hill responded to Reflections of a Guest' and the tribute that he paid the ladies in their pursuit toward in telleetuality by their club work was deeply pointed and impressive. Cast ing aside his ordinarily stern and mat ter of fact manner, the speaker delved ntola flight of oratory that in politics would have distinguished him as a spell-binder. It was a splendid effort.
 "Silhouets' was responded to by Miss IateFner With an interesting and pointed quotation that thoroughly de- lighted everyone.
 Mrs. Morrow's toast was Jus Keee Movin' , and the able mapnef she pur- sued her subject and especially the wit she employed brought down the house several times and distinguished her among the best speakers of the even ing.
 Professions" had beeA assigned to MT, Kinney and with all due pr,,;iso foY other speakers of tue ep ao;ro this was the climax. F. .l e''',,5,' ai.,on+ '-'t0 " 70 @ o,.1',. t,.s"''' rediculous he touched the
 .,llmest heights of sublimity. The effort has distinguished him as an after dinner speaker who might from ap pearances have served many years a the trade" :" He so aptly weaved hi' thoughts with the surroundings and the lives of his hearers as to make then intensely forceful if not even personal It was generally agreed that Mrs Kinney must have spent great deal O time in tutoring her husband for thl occasion.
 Dr. Lundberg discussed Friendship in manner that surprised his mos intimates on account of the ability witt which he responded. It was certainl, very creditable for maiden effort a banquet speaking.
 "Eloquence" was the subject of
 toast by Mrs. Bedding and from standpoint of genuine humor it too first place among the toasts of tn evening, making it a very appropriat close for the regular program.
 Volunteer talks were made by Rev Reynolds, Mrs. Schmitz and Miss Beck the latter being former member C the club.
 Each participant in the festivities ( the evening was furnished with a artistically printed program, menu an place cards, which will be preserved souvenirs of an exceptionally enjoyab occasion.

 notice of the musical feature, whic
