IT WAS A REAL TREAT

Mrs. Edith johnson, M. D., Of st.
Louis, on Tuesday evening gave pre-
sentiment of Browning's famous mon
ologue, "Andrea Del Sarto," at the
Monarch, under the auspices of the
ladies of the Presbyterian church. The
audience was not large, which seemed
to indicate that Browning has not
many devotees in this community.
Those present had the important les
son illustrated in that poem brought
home to them quite forcefully. The
presentation proved DR.. johnson to be
a close student of Browning, and her
portrayal was Illuminating and edify-
ing.
The program opened with number
of excellent musical numbers, all of
which were especially good.
Wednesday afternoon DR.. johnson
spoke to women at the Monarch, along
the line of health conditions of women.

blessed privilege of mating is indicat-
ed lin the following letter recently re-
ceived by one of our easy going males,
written on heavily perfumed and styl-
ish stationery, from fair damsel who
has apparently been too long neglect

MONDAY CLUB ENTERTAINS

oHiMonday evening, March l, the
Monday Club entertained its husbands
at d Colonial party. The members
of the club arrayed in the powder and
patches, laces and furbelows of Co.
lonial danes, were most picturesque
hostesses, and the musical numbers
received an added charm from the
quaint costumes Of the singers. A de-
licious buffet supper was served, af-
ter which the evening was devoted to
music and laughter. When they de-
pan ted at a late hour, the husbands all
voted the Monday Club Colonial party
an affair after their own hearts.

Barre Times. J

Apparently the more earnest advocates
Of equal suffrage for women are taking
literally the statement which CAME from
the state house at Montpelier that II
there had been more activity by Vermont
women and less by women from outside
of the state, Governor Clement might
have given more extended consideration
to the request for special session OF the
legislature in order to vote on the tedefai
amendment. OF late there has been little
publicity concerning the suffragists from
other states, while the Vermont advo-
Gates of the equal rights of women at the
ballot have been very much in the light
of publicity. 1t NOW remains for Gov
ernor Clement to show whether the re
mark emanating from the state house
was sanctioned by him and whether it
will be borne out by action on his part
toward assembling the legislature.

HOOVER IN THE FIELD.

The announcement of Herbert Hoover
to the Hoover club of California that he
would accept the Republican nomination
flor President. III it is felt that the is
sres necessitatc it and it is demanded
OF me-" adds to the interest of the politi-
cal situation. The demand for Hoover
comes from the rank and file rather than
the party leaders. As we have said be
fore. the party leaders or old timers
Naye done all in their power to place the
no Qination in other hands than those
OF He~Dert Hoover. But apparently the
rank and file think otherwise.
Mr.. Hool-rz statement is character
istically indepe11ent. He would accept
the nomination If the Republican party
with the Independent clement to which
am naturally affiliated--adopts a for
ward looking, liberal, constructive plat
| form on the treaty and OF our economic
issues, and if the party proposes meas
urcs for sound business administration
OF the country and IS neither reactionary
nor radical in its approach to our great
domestic questions, and is backed BY
men who undoubtedly assure the con
summation of these policies and meas
ures." This declaration is consistent
with his further statement that no on'
should be able to dictate the policies o
great parties, yet every man and woman
has the right to decide what issues ant
measures he viii support"
There are two elements of strengtl
in this position: first, liberal and con
structive position on the treaty, an
second, sound business administration o
the. domestic affairs of the country
While America needs sane and liberal IN
! ternational relations it more seriousl

Is the President riding for another fall
in the international field by insisting
that the allies drive the Turk from Eu-
rope? There is weight in the statement
of the Freuth that some one mus as

the Turk to leave Europe. The allies
desired this cca,?try to assume response
