Young Women Meet-Th Young
Woman IS club has changed the Mon
: day adjective from blue to merry by
its spirit of good cheer The club was
, entertained last Monday evening by
Mrs. Maurice Dalton, assisted by Mrs.
:. Pauline Aulen and Miss Ednelle Col
Inns. The evenings entertainment
was in the nature Of an outing in the
woods, and the guests appeared APP
propriately attired in pinafores. The
decorations were of gaily colored
: branches and scattered leaves to sim
ulate the autumn forest. In leafy
nook sparkled clear spring with
two bright tin cups at hand. At half
past seven the girls gathered about
the open fire which cracked in the
CRATE, chatting and listening to the
music of the Victrola. AT eight o.
clock the lights went on and the club
held a brief business session. The
names of three new members were
added to the roll The ensuing hour
was given over to fancy work and
conversation. Miss Gertrude Irwin
then called the attention of the class
as she was about to give instruction
in the proper singing of new song.
The clever mimicry of the conduct of
a juvenile class caused much merri-
ment, while the skillful method of
the teacher brought excellent results,
and the class gave hearty render
ing of lifting chorus for the occa-
sion. The hostess then invited her
guests to search the woods for hidden
treasure. When they again grouped
themselves about the fire they bore
the harvest of the trees in nuts and
apples. There were bonbons to sweet
en- the repast and some of the nuts
held conundrums to be guessed. The
forest was filed with music and the
moments passed swiftly on their
noiseless wings At the close of the
evenings recreation two dozen bright
faced maidens said in their hearts,
Henceforth it shall be merry Mon
day, for it is our day and We refuse
to accept the unwholesome coloring
of its past"
