As usual the courses were inter-
larded by flow of wit and wisdom,
chief among which must be placed a
letter from Miss Orvis member who
is doing her "bit" at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard, which we append.
Mrs. Lawrence gave US Hooverized
skit on the banquet, Mrs. Orvis a club
alphabet, while Miss Garfield brought
forth Pegasus once more for mild
canter over suffrage grounds. The
other members added their bit in turn
without falling into poetry. The place
cards, reminders of years of yore on
art were postal reproductions of some
of the famous pictures in the Boston
Museum of Fine Arts.
