The alumnae Banquet at Hardin
College Monday night was a beautiful
affair. The Alumnae were charming
ly gowned and the sprinkling Of men
who were fortunate enough to be in
vited, added to the general effect.
The tables were artistically arranged
so everybody faced the speakers and
a profusion of flowers were used on
the tables.
The invocation was pronounced by
DR.. Million, the Presidents welcome
followed. This was given by Miss
Leila Winans. The Response was CIV
en- by Miss Mary Aid in a very at
tractive and happy n The gen.
eral theme of the toasts was "To the
Daughters of Eve" Mrs. Emmons
in her usual brilliant manner toasted
"The Daughters of Deborah" She ri
diculed the idea that men have Of
keeping women on a pedestal, and
emphasized the absurdity of a mother
of a family washing and ironing, sew
ing and mending, keeping the child
ren's ears and noses clean, and binding
up their mashed and bleeding toes, all
from the top of a pedestal. Mr.. Wal
lace who toasted "The Daughters of
Martha, said among other things
that the program committee appre-
ciated his position at home and knew
he would not feel out Of place OF the
program with so many ladies', for he
had a wife, three daughters, a cook,
and a laundress all to boss him and
that if he had a small chair in one
corner of the rom to drape his clothes
on, he felt that he was having a
mans rights in this age when n
hears so much about "Woman's
Rights. Mrs. White responded to
1.-THE Daughters of Miriam. These,
she said, represent music, poetry and
> art, things that Hardin has excelled
: in. Mrs. White had her subject well
= in hand and appreciated the fear Of
the program committee that she
, would talk over the heads of the aud
: fence, with so big a subject. Mrs.
Snoddy paid tribute to "The Daughters
i. of Dorcas'. She related some inter-
esting facts of charitable institutions
= founded by the women of the Dorcas
Societies Of various organizations,
s She tactfully intimated that women
y had always been more p~hilanthropic
s than men. Miss Leila Winans acted
las toastmistress, and introduced The
C speakers in a clever and facetiou'
G manner.
