FROM the moment this question
was presented 10 the 226 club wom-
en- who were privileged 10 be in
attendance at the annual spring
luncheon OF the Mishawaka Woman's
CLUB. Saturday afternoon at the
Mishawaka hotel until the final
words were spoken the affair was
thoroughly enjoyable. Mrs. Demar-
chu= Brown. of Indianapolis, for
merry OF Butler college, proved an
exception TO the class TO which she
referred when she said she who
knows. does she who knows not,
makes after dinner speeches"
Answering her first question with
the one word-W oman Mrs. Brown
proceeded 10 relate how all the sOr-
sOws Of man had been laid at wom-
ans door. simply because the excuse
was an easy one and maybe reason
able Referring far back into his
tory, the speaker quoted legends Of
the Hindu, Greek and other ancient
peoples who believed that women
were the origin OF all trouble, posses
sing the sweetness Of honey and the
bitterness of gall.
From those unfair accusations
Mrs Brown formed the basis of her
talk. which proved to be extremely
entertaining. as she possesses a rare
sense of humor. combined with the
gift Of making others see things in
the same light and the vividness with
which she touched upon the human
side Of life was inimitable. She re-
ferred with feeling TO the great wOm-
en- of history and spoke reverently
Of the many heroines. who had
never been known beyond their own
family circle.
Faced Hardships.
"The women of pioneer days
should be given bouudless gratitude.
Mrs. Brown said. because they
I needed to be very brave to face the
hardships of the life OF those days
and proved that they possessed the
quality of knowing how 70 make
both ends meet They also had
much inventive genius and while
necessity Is the mother OF invention,
woman has proved herself 70 be the
/ step mother of invention by being
able TO repair almost any break by
bending a wire hair pin into differ
ent shapes"
In quoting the unjust remark OF
some man, presumed the speaker 10
have been a bachelor, that women
OF genius are all men, she called at
tention to the fact that all famous
men modistes always worked with
new materials In designing their
gowns. while the clever women
could take several old garments and
make out Of it a real creation. The
women OF long aso were given credit
for our marvellous development, &C
cordiRg TO the belief Of Mrs. Brown,
who declared them 10 be the torch
bearers of the early days. handing
on the light TO the generations fol-
lowing. She expressed thankfulness
that we had passed the days Wien

Men being too busy seeking the
/ peak OF finance. for cultural pursuits,
/ the wOmans clubs have paid an i'm
portant part in supplying that de-
hciency and have in no way detract-
+ ed from the charm OF feminity
which the men have so feared when
they saw the women developing in

Overcame Prejudicc.
The first thing in which women
f have. succeeded ia overcoming was
. prejudice. the handicap TO Develop
. meut along any line. and as al minds
i do not come in standard sizes. some
. being more cramped than others, we
are not content to live only for the
/ glories of the things which the tu-
/ rure life promises but we are max
/ ing life worth while Tor its own sake
/ and ere learning the necessity and
/ beauty Of growth. Plants die with
/ out light, so Il is with the human
I life. and the more we develop into
/ the broader way OF seeing things the
quicker We arrive. The women OF
