wear. The tables were prettily deco
rated with tulips and other May crea-
tions. the committee having charge
of the program and arrangements con-
sisting of Mrs. A. Reinking, Mrs. r. B.
Griggs, Mrs. G. T. Thuerer, Mrs. H. E.
Cole. Miss Christine r. Wright, Miss
Ethel S. Horton and DR.. G. w. Snyder.
The office of POSTMASTER was ably
filled by Rev. E. G. Henke and there
was generous wit as he presented the
speakers from time to time.
A. S. Kingsford responded to 'Ruts'
and explained how some people fall
into a stereotyped way of doing things.
He declared the older civilizations
were in "ruts," and for that reason
the west leads the east. He was in
troduced by the POSTMASTER as the
orator of the club and ably sustained
his reputation in dealing with "Ruts."
"Our Guests" was responded toby
Mrs. Catherine Crandall Train, who
referred to prose and poem in dealing
with them in a kindly way. She spoke
especially of the effort which Chicago
has made in welcoming the soldiers,
guests from the great pilgrimage be-
yond the sea. She also held that
strangers in Baraboo should be wei
coined as guests.
M. c. Crandall declared that Cam
outage was nothing new, that there
has always been plenty Of this attrib-
ute or element to be found. A dollar,
which now seems to- be a Big silver
wheel, is only thirty cents; all is not
gold that glitters, and some people tell
whoppers so often they at last come
to believe it. to be so. DR.. Jekyl and
Mr.. Hyde are ever with us.
In playing "The Came" Superin-
tendent A. G.. Kingsford held there
must be leadership, else there will
be failure, as now in Russia. All in
active life, from the stoker in the ship
Che may not realize it, to the man in
big affairs, are playing "The Game.
Some nations never develop leaders
and never become great in world af-
fairs. America entered the war in
earnest and won in the end.
Next was the spice of the evening,
Salads by Mrs. Hugh Kelley. She
compared life to salad days of some
people and showed the relationship
which salad bears to fish and fowl.
Salad is a necessary attribute OF life,
in fact the road would be long and
wearisome without it. The Salad"
was immensely enjoyed by the. mem
bers and guests. ..
Musical numbers were given by a
quartet, Mrs G. w. Snyder, Miss Olga
Reinking, DR.. Snyder and Walter j.
Tanghe being the personnel. The.
opening number, ''Ftiendship, Love
and Song" was heartily encored and
the singers very kindly responded.
Following this number, Mrs. Snyder
gave the solo, "My Task" in delight
full manner. At the close of the liter;
airy program, the song, Goodnight,
Gentle Folk" was given by the quar-
tette, the number closing the evenings
entertainment. Mrs. A. L. Reiner was
