The program consis'ed of polanaise. barcarolles and Spanish songs. A paper on "Spanish Mus ic" wes eivrn by Mrs. "Y. Q. Ec'.l, acd its peculiar rjthm il lustrated by a bright, fantastic piano election. Spanish or gipsy socgi were suog by Yxb. Wright, Miis Louise Mil lor, Miss Furnip. Miss OJell played a Chopin pobnahe. and Mr?. Will Owen Jones a beaut ful barcarolle, also by Chopin. A trio from Karl Merz, operetta "The Gipsy Girls," was sucg by Mrs. Sanderson, Mrs. Noble and Mis3 Rey nolds. The accompanist was Miss Maud Risser. The French women started a new en terprise lately, a daily newspapsr called LaFionde, devoted t politics, litera ture, and the general news of th9 day. It is entirely edited, administered and csntrollcd by women, who consider that i they have ths rigbt togive tbeiropinioot officially upon all questions interesting the society of which they arj members as much as the men, sinc3 women in France form a majority of th9 popula tion and pay a large percentage of the taxes which they do not vote. The editor is Madame Marguerite Durand, a woman of great weight and ability; and Madame Leopold Lacour, lb. 3 chronicler of the work, writes a dainty little article in which each day is beaded by a bar of music with the names of the days as notes. Sarah Bernhardt, among other?, has desp interest in the paper. But now we are told thit ttm gallant Frenchmen, afraid of iff popularity, is 6eekicg its destruction May the pluck of our Gallic sisters be rewarded. Stanton Sorosis held its third annual banquet Friday evening, February 4tbr at the home of the president, Mre. A. L. 3?ixon. This was the fourth anniversary of the society so it was thought beat to havo the arrangements quite elaborate. This club at present consists of nineteen ladies. About twenty invitations were ssnt out, mostly to the husbands of tho members. The entertainment committee who should have great praise for the complete success of the affdir, arranged to Eerve an elaborate dinner in three full coureex Mies Gray and Mrs. McGiverin from Fremont, were the invited guests of special honor. At 7:30 o'clock, the forty guests were ushered , into the dining rooms which were beautifully decorated without flowers, fine china, cutgkssand embroidered table service. Each guest found his place by a card upon one side of which was his name, upon the other a well fittoi conundrum. These brought forth much merrimant. A full hour and a half was devoted to this part of the program, when Miss Austin called for the last course which consisted of large crds and pencils. Upon tho cards were written the letters spelling Sorosis in a horizontal column. All wera requir ed to write a short poem beginning each line with t.e letters upon the card. After about fifteen minutes was abeorb d in this mecti) effort, the productions were read. Possibly they were not all of the dactylic hexameter style, but they were decidedly funny. After this, all repaired to the parlors where two well rendered quartettes were sung. Mia3 Gray was then introduced and gave a veiy interestingparlor lecture upon "The Club a9 an Agency." Frizes "were then awarded the successful competitors in the po3try contest, then there was more sociability until 11 o'clock when all bid the Dr. and Mrs. Nixon good night feeling that they had proven themselves royal entertainers. This j ear the or ganization has undertaken moro social functions than ever before Contrary to our fears it has not eeemsd to diminish but rather to incieaeo the interest in the literary part cf the work.
