The Good Government club enter

elogue, followed by an informal tea, in
Gemmell hall. at the Y. NJ. C. A. Mu-
sic by Miss Mary Sands. who sang two

Miss Maud Mary Kline, opened the pro-
gram.
Mrs. Lee Monroe gave an illustrated
lecture on her trip abroad. Though the
subject Of trip through Great Britain
and Holland Is pretty well worn one,
Mrs. Monroe avoided the "old stuff"
and gave to the audience observations
that she had cleaned from her travels
with the keenness Of mind that dis
tinguishes the ordinary from the un-
usual. She began her lecture by ex-
planning that she had gone abroad with
certain definite purposes in mind, among
them. to visit the home Of her ances-
tors. to get a near view of the quarrel
between Sylvia and the British govern
ment and to learn at first hand some
thing of the comparative conditions of
the working women in England and
America. She explained that the wom-
en- of England were seeking liberty in
the only way they could hope to get it.
and in just the way that all liberties
had been procured in England-that is,
by more or less violence
There were pictures Of many OF the
places Of interest in Great Britain. The
speaker told of a visit near Warwick
castle and her admission to the castle
to view the preparations for a royal
dinner party that was being given in
honor Of King Emanuel Of Italy. She
spoke of the magnificence Of the serv-
ice, and in contrast to that. the econ
omy of the caretakers in the palace.
I'VE were taken into one of the rooms
of the palace. and the servant reached
out to turn on the electric light. He
hesitated, saying that it was twenty
minutes before the time he was in
structed to light the building. AS soon
as the inspection was over the light
was switched out. In an ordinary
American home the whole house would
be a blaze Of light hours before the
guests arrived"
Mrs. Monroe spoke of the thrones
that she saw in the public capital cities
Of Britain and Holland. They did
not she said, half meet my idea of
magnificence. They were almost shah
by. I suppose I had seen Barnum &
Bailey's circus too often to be inn
pressed with anything short Of real
grandeur"
Among the pictures was one of the
church in Holland where John Robin
son preached and urged the Puritans to
come to America The speaker told
church, and showed a miniature foot
warmer that she brought home with
her.
In her collection of souvenirs was a
wig such as is worn by judges in Eng
1ish courts. Il was quite a fantastic
affair. and in an American court room
would doubtless block proceedings by
the levity it would create.
A silver offering was taken at the
lecture for the benefit of the Belgian
relief fund. The hall was well filled,
and the event was profitable as well as
pleasurable.
