got the editorial chair warm, in the

The choir and special friends sue
ceeded In springing a most complete
surprise on Mr.. and Mrs. Strehlke
last Tuesday evening. When the
mob opened the door and walked into
the Strehlke home about eight
o'clock, they found Mr.. Strehlke in
his shirt sleeves with cuffs turned
back as though he was making q
bluff at washing the dishes. The
young man was stripped Of his coat
which his mother was mending, and
general air of WASN'T expecting
company" pervaded the home. How
ever y most hearty welcome was
given. Games and choice music by
All orchestra and q chorus of young
people, and delightful lunch, made
the whole company wish for u } oshua
to command the moon to stand still
while they went on having good
Itime. There we're about fifty people
present. A beautiful set Of table
linen was left as reminder Of their
wedding anniversary and as SOU
venir of good will.

ular business meeting, choice pro-
gram WAS rendered, consisting of q
brief review of Lincoln's life, short
stories of the great man, vocal music
and q phonograph rendering OF Lin

decorations were not only appropriate
but very tasteful. Among these, n

the old historic rail fence, were
prominent. An elaborate lunch fol-
lowed the program. There were
about sixty members present.

The Minneapolis League of Cath
olic women was organized the latter
part of 1911 and as the name i'm
plies is an organization for all Cath
Ollie women in the city and in no
way interferes with any parish socie-
ties.
The Leagues first undertaking
was perhaps the opening of St.
Mary's Hall at 1914 First avenue S,
a home for working girls. Very soon
the capacity of 20 was reached.
Here the girls enjoyed the comforts
of real home. These girls, earn
ing from Sc to SO a week, paid from
$3.50 to 81 for their room and
board. In short time, however,
this home was found to be too small
and many girls were on the waiting
list awaiting an opportunity to en-
ter.
Now the League has purchased the
beautiful corner on 18th street and
Hawthorn avenue. The property is
150x150 feet with two beautiful
large homes and cottage. One of
the homes is already occupied and
known as st. Mary's Hall, while the
other home, much larger and really
a magnificent place, will be vacant
and ready for occupancy inside of
a year. The grounds are beautiful
with rose garden and trees. The
price paid for this property was $780,
900.
The second big undertaking was
the opening of the cafeteria at 72O
Marquette avenue last year. Mrs.
w. S. Daggett was most active in this
work, while this year Mrs. Grace
Gum is very enthusiastic worker
and seems to enjoy the responsib ility.
Here are found comfortable and at
tractive rest rooms, with the best
home cooking obtainable, at mini

membership at the cafeteria.
During the year the philanthropic
committee has cared for a number of
sick and friendless women and chill
dren at st. Joseph's home. Miss Della
O'Connell being most active in this
work.
Now we come to one of the most
interesting activities of the
Leagues work, namely the kinder
garten and settlement work done at
625 Main street NE. Mrs. G.. G.
Barry has really mothered this
branch of the work and much credit
is due her. During the year a num-
Der of women helped in the sewing
classes. Miss Mary Mcdonald, Mrs.
]. A. Mclaughlin, Miss Breslauer,
Miss Mary and Miss Bessie Chute and
several others were always loyal.
The kindergarten is conducted by
Miss Alexander and two assistants.
When this little kindergarten was
opened there was an attendance of
sixteen, now there are sixty-three.
These children are, with one or two
exceptions, Syrians and Polish.
Two lots have been purchased at
Pierce and Broadway streets with
the view of soon building a kinder
garten, industrial work school and
gymnasium where it is greatly need
ed, as in this district there are many
Italian children who cannot as yet
speak word of English.
The social side has never been
overlooked. Throughout the year a
number of parties were given to the
children and their mothers at the
kindergarten.
At st. Mary's Hall the girls en-
joy occasionally most delightful par
ties. While number of enjoyable
affairs were given by the members
of the League during the year, in

In the educational department, the
League conducts evening classes
in French, cooking, sewing, MILL
merry, china painting, social dancing,
lecture courses, Bible class, gymnasi-
UNI dancing, while the class in ex-
preston is under the direction of
Miss Maude Moore and only short
time ago two delightful plays were
given at the Bijou theater for the
benefit of the League by the express
sion classes. assisted by the johnson
School of Music.
Mrs. Edward Johnston is now or
ganizing classes in horseback riding
and tennis. Much enthusiasm is
shown over the new undertakings.
Mrs. j. L. McNall was appointed
chairman of the juvenile court COM
mittee. Here, of course, is an op-
portunity to accomplish a vast
amount of good, and Mrs. McNall
is capable of filling the position we'll.
