MOTHERS CLUB ENTERTAINS
On Thursday evening was held the
annual Guest Night OF the Mothers
Club, when their husbands and other
trends were invited TO meet with
them in the Cable Hall, listen to an
instructive and interesting progl am
and enjoy social hour. Mrs. + W.
Hatch was the chairman of the pro-
gram committee, and splendid pro-
gram was the result Of her p,lming.
Mrs. f. +. Dwinell was the hostess
and assisted by Mrs. Charles Ladd
Mrs H. J. Hubbard, Mrs. 4. W. Ed
munds, Mrs. Claude Watson. Mrs.
Myrtle Clarke, and Mrs Samuel
Mitchell, attended to receiving and
seating the guests, and to regaling
their appetites.
There was the blicfest possible
business session, after which musical
selections were enjoyed. First was
by 1 maic quartet, consisting of 4.
w. Edmunds, Bruce Wakefield
George Bulnham, and Lorenzo Eaton
They sang without accompaniment
and their sCk ctions were greatly en-
ioyed and heartily encorcd. 1t is to
be hoped that this musical combina-
ton can be often heard in the future
as all have good voices and they hal-
monte perfectly. Miss Dorothy Mac
Donald sang one song following, and
I'VE, AZ she ALWAYS does, great pleas
ure to her hearers. Her strong and
sweet contIalto has a flute like quail
ity rarely found in amateurs. The
speaker of the evening was the Rev
Donald Fraser. Of Wells River, a
Scotchman by birth, but American to
the core, who gave an impassioncd
and interesting talk on THE Price of
Our Civilization. His theme really
was what shall the white people do
to preserve the purity of their race
and culture against the rising tide OF
the brown and yellow races which
are threatening it. His conclusion i,
that we shall have to work, to save
perhaps to fight, for our civilization
and that we must produce and raise
up more true American people. Al
the last, he spoke of the power Of oul
| religion to help Us preserve all that
Is best in the world, and all that oul
forefathers sacrificed so much to
! build up. His lecture was a serious
one, yet it was interspersed with
plenty of witty stories and conclu-
Sions, told in an inimitable manner
NJ. Fraser'S address was greatly en-
joyed, and also left his audience with
plenty about which to think. The
program closed with another song by
the quartet, and the singing OF
America by the audience. Social
groups were then formed, AID the
hostcsses served delicious sherbet and
homemade cakes, to the accompani-
mcnt Of 4 decided hum of convcrsa-
ton. All adjourned ut a late hour
feeling that this had been one of the
| most successful Of tho club meetings.
