Tho Pleasant Hour club, tho oldest dancing organization in the
city, met Saturday last and partially completed arrangements for ite
twentieth consecutive season. Tho club starts in with an unusually
large membership this year and the season bids fair to bo one of
tho most successful and brilliant in tho history of the club. It was
decided to hold tho tirst danco Thursday, November 29, Thanks
giving night, it having been the custom of tho club for years to have
a party on the evening of Thanksgiving. This first dance will take
the form of a reception to Mr. and Mrs. Charles L. Burr and Mr.
and Mrs. Beman G. Dawes, thus observing another time-honored
custom, that of giving a testimonial to each member of the club as
he marries. Tho location of the reception as well as other arrange
ments for the season will be settled at an adjourned meeting of tho
club to be held today at 12 o'clock noon, at Zehrung's store. At
last week's meeting W. Morton Smith was re-elected president, tho
other officers being tilled as follows: Vice-president, M. II. Bald
Baldwin; secretary and treasurer, Will Johnson; master of ceremon
ies, Frank C. Zehrung; executive committee, Beman G. Dawes,
Fritz Westermann and John T. Dorgan.
Sorosis held its third annual banquet at tho residence of Mr. and
Mre. A. J. Sawyer, last Saturday night. It has grown into a cus
tom with the ladies bo-
longing to this society to
turn asido each November
and admit their husbands
and sweethearts for once
into tho inner circle. This
last meeting was one of su
preme enjoyment, Every
one knows whit a beauti
ful home the Sawyer resi
idence is, and how welcome
guests aro always made
there. The decorations were
palms, rcses and pinks.
The table was spread in
the octagon front parlor.
Each member brought a
single guest. The lunch
was all that anyone could
desire, and was charmingly
served by daughters of
members. Mrs. Hodgman
acted as toastmistress.
She pleasantly introduced
each speaker. Mrs. E. T.
Harley responded to the
sentiment," Women'sClubs
in General and Ours in
Particular."' She traced
briefly the origin of clubs
and their influence and did
not fail to pay her respects
to the young woman who
recently wroto a criticism
on clubs. She referred to
the fact that in a morning
paper it had been declared that Mrs. Peattie was the "brainiest man'
on a metropolitan paper and could not refrain from referring to the
"sawed-off joss." She added that the yards of embroidery taken off
the child's gown added to the convolutions of the brain. Mr. Mun
ger responded to "Clubs and Trumps." He confessed to some em
barrassment; but it was not noticeable. He spoke of his own short
suit, complimented the ladies on every occasion, told a few stories,
and insisted that "hearts were still trumps.' Mrs. Brace gave an in
teresting resume of the work of the club and of its prospective
place. Mr. Maulo was unavoidably absent and could not respond
to "Woman." Mrs. Bryan recited an original poem which greatly
delighted the guests. Her referpnees to members were particularly
enjoyable. Miss Richardson sang "Mona" and was heartily cheered.
Miss Moore, now in Florida, sent a greeting to "Absent Members."
Chancellor Canfield responded to "Homo or Homer.' He wondered
why the gentlemen were brought there to be punished; were re
quired to make speeches and furnish amusement for the guests. He
took up the home question rather seriously. It was the duty of
every parent to so equip his child that it would in no event become
a public charge. This was an ago of progression; when tho most
useful citizen had ceased to bo the ono who could get the most out
of a community. Now tho best citizen was the ono out of whom
tho community could get the most. He went over the necessity for
better homo training, and for a more thorough infusion of tho idea
that much was to bo done for others, and that tho home was the
great place for ho cultivation of all of tho best qualities. Out of a
number of short poems written by members that of Mrs. Cantield
was selected and set to music. Standing about tho festal board,
members sang it with a hearty good will:
A SONG OF SOROSIS.
