Club Notes.

The annual banquet of the Monday
Club was held in the parlors of the
Methodist church Monday evening,
March 6. Inospite of the unfavorable
weather, sixty of the members and
their friends partook of the choice and
bountiful three course dinner. The
rooms and tables were beautifully dec
Grated with the club colors, potted
plants and cut flowers. AS the club
this year is studying South America,
the whole entertainment had a dis
tinctively South American flavor. Each
gentleman was provided with card
bearing the name of a republic of South
America and his partner at the ban
quet was the lady whose name bore the
name of the capital of said republic.
Many of the gentlemen were heard to
explain that if they had known what
was coming they would have brushed
up on the geography of South America
previously. Upon rising from the ia
BILE the ladies were provided with trans
portation coupons for themselves and
gentleman, upon the steamer Pomer-
ania for trip from New York to Rio
Janeiro, via the Panama Canal and
Straits of Magellan, touching at all
principal ports on the route. The first
stopping place was at Culton Memorial
Hall where Mr.. w. Bardeen with his
excellent stereopticon, displayed views
of the picturesque scenery, magnificent
public buildings, spacious harbors, var
led industries, and customs of the ma
tives, at the different cities and in the
agricultural region of the wonderful
continent Mrs. w. w. Morrison gave
a pleasing running commentary on the
pictures as thrown upon the screen.
which greatly contributed to the inter-
est and profit of the occasion. The
grand march by a number of the club
ladies and club daughters, each cos
tuned to represent some nationality,
proved a most striking pageant. The
imposing grand danes of Argentina
and Brazil, the bonnie Scotch lassie,
the Indian mother and papoose, the
Irish, Welsh, Japanese and U. S. girls,
the maidens representing other South
American countries, constituted vivid
and fascinating portraiture. The spec
ial musical numbers by Miss c. Went
worth, Mrs. M. Schmidt, and Miss D.
Clarke, the harmonious readings by
Miss Schumacher, the terpsichorean
of Mrs. Holt and Miss Farnham, with
their bewilderingly graceful evolutions,
all combined to form program which
will long linger as pleasing memory
in the annals of the Monday Club.
