Mrs A S. Peacock The rooms were
tastefully decorated with baskets of
yellow chrysanthemums the Locust
club flower, and added a touch of
brightness and beauty that belongs
particularly to this autumn flower.
A surprise program was prepared by
the program committee and being
along humorous lines much merri-
ment was derived from it by all.
Especially amusing was the 1.-THE
Coming Coming Caucaus" showing
what women will do now that they
have the right to vote. The mock
trial with Judge Peacock on~the
bench wherein two lady lawyers
pleaded their respective sides of the
momentous question as to whether
housekeeping is harder on men than
on women brought down the house.
The lady lawyers used all the argu-
ments, tricks and technicalities
known to the great profession and
the judge, with august brow, read
brief of the case with convincing
gravity and gave careful instructions
to the lady jury who failed to bring in
verdict, so the case is still pending
and as a change of venue has been
granted the public may yet hear
| more of this notorious and interes-
ting case. Mrs. G. NJ. Reed read
humorous poem of her own compost
ton, which she dedicated to the Lo-
Gust Club and was much enjoyed by
all, and will be found printed below.
Judge Peacock entertained the
company with several selections on
the violin, which were much enjoyed.
| A delicious three course supper was
served and the tables were beautifully
decorated with baskets of chrysan-
themums and each of the guests were
| also given long stemmed chrysanthe-
mum as favor. Miss Grace Han
cock, Miss Anna Hastings and Miss
Glare Marshall assisted in the serving.
About eight-thirty O'Clock the COM
pany departed and all declared that
the Guest Day had again been great
| success.

| And says aloud, ''Just see!
For supper not tarnal thing
| But old dry bread and tea"
And pa says, ''That internal club,
1 wish 'twould all break up''
And then he slams the dishes down,
| And onced he broke cup.
And 1 asked pa what they do there
"Just gossip, talk and blow,
And sew on good for nothing things
| And make 'em for show"
1 wish sometime mad sew for me,
Just see this great big tearl
My buttons off, my knee is out,
And Ned has places bare.
