There has as yet been no authorita-

LYNDONVILLE

1t may be possible, but seems hard
ly probable, that the Mothers Club
has ever enjoyed a much pleasanter
meeting than that which was held at
Mrs. Clarence Dodge's last Thursday
evening, when the club gathered to
enjoy an cold fashioned evening".
The members were asked to come in
costume, and the rooms were ar
ranged to carry out the old-fashioned
idea as far as possible. Mrs. Dodge
was assisted as hostess by Mrs. G.
A. McShane and Mrs. Edgar Brown.
About 50 ladies attended and they
were met at the door by the president
Mrs. O. D. Mathewson, in hoop
skirt and poke bonnet, and much was
the mirth evoked by the appearance
OF the guests.
Attics and old trunks were raN-
sacked and it is whispered that some
of the buxom ladies of today had diff
ficulty in COMPRISING themselves in
to the wedding dresses of former
generations. Beautiful, gay, and II
diculous were some of the appear
ances, and good time was enjoyed
talking and looking each over.
In the library fine collection OF
oldchina was arranged, which served
to help illustrate Mrs. Lee Richard
sons delightful and instructive paper
on "Old China" A musical program
was also carried out, Miss Dorothy
Macdonald singing solo, with Mrs,
Pierce as accompanist, and all the
ladies Joining in choruses of all the
old songs they could remember, A
pleasant feature was the recitation OF
two old poems, by Mrs. Melissa Stew
ems, which evoked much applause
When refreshments were served,
small tables were set in the different
places by d-fashioned picture cards,
numbered to correspond with the
tables. Hot cream of tartar biscuits,
new maple honey, and pickles formed
the first course, followed by old
| fashioned caraway cookies and tea.
|, The plan was not to have an elabor-
| ate entertainment, but just social time
and every member who attended Is
ready to say that this intent was fully
accomplished.
The members of Miss Bartletts
French class have been rehearslng a
