bell and Mrs. E P. Drown of the- Lin
coln club and Mrs. Sedgwick represent
in? tbo York "Amateur Musical Club."
The members of the Matine Musicaie
aro much grtti6ed to baro one of their
cumber appointed on the Board of
Directors of the new federation.
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.

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.
