Diirlnml and H banquet provided by the club was given In honor of Mrs. Martha A. McMillan , this being her seventieth birthday. H. A. Stewart , who was detailed as toast master , was unable to be present ind the chair was most admirably tilled by M. D. Tyler , who , by the way , Is becoming a past master in the art and can be highly recommended as prollcient In this specialty for such an occasion. The subject of the evening was "Mfo , " and the various toasts touched uiion this subject more or less in Its many phases. J. D. Mnylurd took up the subject of "Mirth , " Mr. David Hees took ill ) the nlllrnmtivo of the subject Heredity , " treating the matter large ly from a scientific standpoint , and was ably answered by Hurt Mnpes , who took the negative side of the question , treating it largely from the standpoint of environment. This closed the subject with the exception of a' llttlo private discussion bold In the ball between Mr. Mnpes and Mr. Hees. in which more or less emphatic remarks woie indulged in. Mrs. H. J. Cole in a very sweet and admirable manner spoke on the sub ject of "Friendship. " The Hovcrend W. J. Turner , poet and scholar , took up the subject of "Tho Poetry of Life , " and ably sustained his position as to Sardelo , ono of the most ambiguous poems that Drowning has written This was followed by Mrs. Durt Mapes speaking on "Tho Prose of Life" in a very entertaining nnd witty manner. "Tho Fellowship of Kindred Minds" was then taken up by Mrs. A. J. Dur- land , which consisted of lellers from absent members of the club , among which wore very Interesting letters from D. C. O'Connor , R. A. Stewart. Mrs. T. F. Memminger , A. J. Durland , Mr. and Mrs. Hlrchnrd and Mrs. Lily Parker Scott and Mrs. T. J. Morrow. Also quotations from all members of the club , touching upon the subject of life and the character of the guest of the evening , nil of which were admir ably chosen , expressing a variety of sentiment that was both touching and beautiful. "The Conclusion" was taken up by the Hoverond J. J. Parker , In his char acteristically scholarly and forcible way nnd the subject of "Mo and Dob- by" was responded to by Mrs. M. A. McMillan , the guest of the evening In a manner that will not soon bo for gotten. It was an enjoyable , entertaining nnd instructive evening , ono of the bright spots which appeal with partlc- nr luster , and only conies occasional U This date being also the annlvor- ui\ of Hobby Hums , more or loss iiionMoti was made of this disting uished pool In dlffotont parts of the drosHOB.
