WOMAN'S CLUB BANQUET

iiG ann upl DhIlQuei Oh the Inl'
lip Woman's Club was given at
the Masonic Hall Monday evening
February 7th.
At seven o'clock one hundred
guests including club members
their husbands and number Of
invited friends were seated to a
sumptuous turkey dinner. To at
tempt to describe the dinner would
be entirely too much for our un-
accustomed pen, but we must say
that nothing was ommitted that
could have added in any way to
the success or enjoyment of it.
The hall was beautifully decor
ated in honor of our country's
heroes. whose birthdays we cello
brated this month, and this idea
was carried out in the table decor
atoms and place cards. The gen
tlemen's place cards held Lin
coin penny upon which rested a
miniature candle. During the time
when toasts were given these can,
dies afforded the only light which
produced 2 most pleasing effect.
The club president, Miss Irene
Kelly in few very well chosen
words gave toast of welcome to
the guests, which was responded
to with an interesting talk by o.
X. Whitney. Mr.. Whitney exrress
ed in behalf Of himself and the
other gentlemen present. anprec-

ment.
Following these came well re-
ceived talks by Rev. Woodworth
Father Reid, Supt. Lamb, DR.. Ram
sey, Mr.. Wagponer and Maror Wal
pole. Mrs. SEVERN introducing each
speaker in turn with we'll chosen
remarks.
The latter part of tho evening
program consisted of stunts, real.
alive, entertaining stunts the like
of which it has not been our for
tune to witness for many days.
The first stunt was given by
The Bug Co, and the way those
bugs could Jig to the time of the
harp and fiddlei The audience is
still guessing as to who the bugs
were but not one is willing to
disclose his identity.
Stunt number two, or the great
photographic stunt, in which the
poor, hen-pecek photographer was
expected to get a perfectly good
"fariiiy group picture of Ma ond
Pa Clodhopner and al the kids in
cludinG the grown up daughter
Indy and her man, the fussy old
maid aunt. the tall green sons and
even the impudent, gum-chewinp
twins, but he finally accomplished
it even to the satisfaction of Ma
Next came the performance by
the Metropolitan Grand Opera Co
This was rare treat as it is very
seldom our privilege to be enter
tained by real grand opera com
pany and one which is capable of
giving an entertainment such as
this.
The fourth stunt was a vaude-
vile show, dancers of the classiest
kind, dancing by the moonlight.
to the music of select jazz band.
Following this Professor De Fake
demonstrated his own wonderful
ability as a hypnotist and threw
his magic spell over his subjects
with amazing ease, much to the
enjoyment Of all
Stunt number six was delight
ful imitation of a District School
on speaking day. Of course none
of the pupils had on his company
manners or did as well as on prac-
Iice day, much to the disgust Of
Professor Know-It-All and to the
delight of the audience.
The last was the weekly meeting
of the Gossiping Club and not very
many of our prominent men were
left out by the busy, wagging ton
CUES of the gossipers.
This brought to a close one OF
the most enjoyable evenings it has
been our pleasure to attend in
Philip and we can only echo the
sentiment expressed by several Oh
our speakers of the evening in
wishing that the Woman's Club
would decide to entertain twelve
times a year instead of one.
