tba Washington; Mrs. F. D. Tagart was
Mrs. ' lexander Hamilton, and Mrs. Fer
mor J. Spencer posed as her great grand
aunt, Dolly Madison.
Mrs. James B. Grant divided the two
sections of the programme, appearing as
"Cblumbia,n and the most artistic of the
tableaux.
Mrs.A. McComb Keeker read a paper
on "The Fin de Siecle Woman." Mrs.
Geo. Scott represented 'The Grand
mother of today," a neatly, fashionably
dressed woman, bearing in her hand a
copy of the Club Woman. Miss Isabel
Hill reproduced a Gibson picture in
colors as the "Golf Girl," in scarlet
jacket, short skirt and Scotch hose.
The final picture, which was eagerly
looked for, was Mrs. Piatt, the "new wo
man," in a handsome gown of white
satin. Her arm was upraised, and in
her right hand was the well known gavel.
The entertainment vas brought to a
conclusion amid storm of applause. It
was so successful that it will probably

Mrs. Frank Johnson. There were thir

Meeting adjourned to meet with Miss
Merrill at the home of Mrs. Colvin.
Tae meeting of the Deborah Avery
chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri
can Revolution, with Mre. Odell, on Fri
day afternoon, was well attended, thirty
four members being present.
The round table was omitted and the
paper placed first on the program, owing
to the amount of business to come before
the club and the necessity for free dis
cussion. Mrs. S. E. Upton read a paper on the
life and trials of Anne Hutchinson,
which she prefaced by hoping that none
of her auditors were present when she
gave it at the Woman's club.
The minutes of the last meeting were
read by the secretary, who spoke espec
