 Drinkwater's Lincoln.
 Seldom are we permitted to spend a more profitable evening than the one we enjoyed last Friday night over at the Ashurst auditorium. s. Fl. Clark, of the Chicago University, was scheduled to read the much-talked of play, Abraham Lincoln" by the Eng fish writer, Drinkwater. Few were prepared for the exceptional treat in store for them. Professor Clark, while a well known artist in reading circles, was certainly at his best in this re- markable piece of work which has so stirred the country in the last two years. A wonderful production and given as it was in most remarkable way, all who heard it will often recall the tones used in Lincoln's part-all the pathos of those rigorous years were in them-the bit of humor inter- spersing it which every American au- dience demands, and the ringing words of Stanton's at the close-all made for the perfect tribute rendered the professor at the close, a hush which seemed too sacred to break by applause of appreciation.
 Series of Complimentary Affairs.
 MT. and Mrs. Austin Brown are finding out this week just how many friends they have in the city, for a series of pleasant affairs have been rendered them. On last Saturday af- ternoon Miss Vandervoit gave most delightful little Kensington tea at the Kelleman home on North Leroux. A number of Mrs. Browns friends were more than anxious that the right start be made along domestic lines, so they were more than willing to spend the afternoon sewing as we'll as chatting and as result the close of the after noon found dish towels and hand tow els galore, bearing fanciful mono grams, ready to take their appointed place in a new home. Tea and waters were refreshing incidents of the af- ternoon and the guests left wishing their hostess and honored guests the best of wishes.
 On Tuesday evening the Christian Endeavor friends of the Browns sent word they hoped they would be at home for they planned house warm ing. Well, they did stay and so a mighty pleasant evening was the re- suit. Games and a general good time was the program for the following guests: MT. and Mrs. Took and daugh- ters, MT. and Mrs. Walters, Mir. and Mrs. Harley, Miss Rogers, Miss Net tie Womack, Miss Ollie Norman, Miss Vieva Walker, Miss Ema Vandervort Mrs. Fiske, Miss Mabel Milligan, Miss Gertrude Linney and Miss Mary Leedom.
