Woman's Clubs.
The seventh annaal banquet of Soro
h wu given at the home of Mrs. A. J
Sawyer, November 11. That they had
a delightful time goes without saying
Mrs. Sawyer as president of the club was
toastmistress. She filled the office in
her usual brilliant way and left nothing
to be desired, when, at the end of the
evening, she conferred a high sounding
Latin degree upon each member.
It must bo understood that on these
banquet occasions Sorosis is hospitable,
for she invites the "wise, the good and
lawyers" in the form of husbands, to en
joy the pleasures of the evening. In re
turn for this favor the husbands help to
furnish music and toasts.
Prof. E. H. Barbour gave a "Chalk
Talk" which might properly have been
named evolution. He drew the popular
advertisement with its accompanying
"See that hump?" and evolved from it
the fast biker and later an interroga
tion point A simple egg plant in per
spective was made the foundation for a
Jong Hue of bloom ered wheelers with a
domestic husband in the foreground.
Mr. W. S. Summers contributed a hum
orous poem on "The Old, Old Story,"
while four other gentletrcn contributed
most of the music
Mrs. H. H. Wheeler responded to the
toast "Our Presidents," in an eloquent
way, while Mrs. A. S. Tibbetts' resume
of "The Past Year" was most witty.
The banquet committee showed
humor and originality in getting up the
illustrated cards for selection of part
ners aud in "The Symposium" on
"Truth."
The regular meeting of Sorosis was
held November 17, Mrs. Burlingim
leading. Her subject was "The Chicago
Drainage Canal." Her paper was time
ly and comprehensive. She told of the
problems that confronted Chicago in
the matter of sewerage and commercial
water ways. She gave a history of ex
periments tried before this canal was
projected. She told of the demand of
citizens for a sanitary district, how
financial and legislative difficulties were
overcome, what the present condition of
the project is and its future possibilities.
The Woman's club of Asbland has
again taken the study of United States
history which proved so successful last
year. The work this winter will cover
the early history of the government un
der the Constitution.
