Senator Edward l.. Edwards will have
the backing of the suffra gists through

HISTORY CLUB MEETS

BIZ Special correspondent
WOODBRIDGE, Oct. 16:-Mrs. E.
H. Boynton entertained the Sewaren
History Club yesterday afternoon at
a most interesting meeting. There
we're about thirty present, including
Mrs. Clevenger, Mrs. l.. Rossi and
Mrs, J. Simmer, of Perth Amboy.
The subject for the afternoon was
Serbia. The speaker, DIR. Slanoye-
witch, of the American Society for
Serbian Relief, by whom a most in
teresting and instructive address was
given. DR.. Slanoyevitch told of the
position of the country of the Jugo-
Slavonians with its history from the
eighth century down to the present
time. The description of Fiume was
most instructive as she described
infinitely the two parts of the town,
the new part where the manufacture
ing Is carried on and ancient Fiume,
where all of the traditions of their
forefathers are adhered to. Bel
grade she described as "le petite
Paris"
Mrs. Kennedy, of TrentonS q friend
of Miss Rush, charmed her audience
with several groups of songs. Re-
spending most gracefully with de-
lightful encores and a. a close to the
program sang "A Perfect Day" as a
fitting tribute to the memory of Mrs.
Hinsdale.
Several matters of business came
up for discussion. Mrs. T. Harold
Stryker was unanimously elected a
member. The names of Mrs. w. H.
Chamberlain and Mrs. Peter Van
SICKLE were proposed for member
ship. The secretary reported receiv-
ing a communication from Mrs. j. B.
Nunneley, of Temple, Texas, inquir-
ing for information concerning cer-
tain of her ancestors who resided in
Woodbridge prior to 1776.
Mrs. G. M. Cooper read a beautiful
tribute to the memory of Mrs. S. B.
Hinsdale in which she expressed the
esteem of the club for their departed
member. The tribute was most APP
propriate as Monday a the anni-
versary of Mrs. Hinsdale's birth.
To date the members have earned
$45 in various small ways for the
scholarship fund at the Woman's
College. Miss Rush, Mrs. Cooper and
Mrs. Perry reported on the recent
meeting at Spring Lake. /.
Refreshments were served.

Harry suggested they go see it more
