I W ' e; K- t - - gotial and Pergonal M w The ladies of Lincolojhpve been doing a great deal for society this week. Parties both large and small bare con sumed the afternoons and two large card parties have been given in the evenings. Two brilliant receptions, a number of pleasant Kensingtons and several card parties, eucbre being the favorite game for the latter gathering, and two unique guessing parties were a feature of the week's festivities. Soroeis banqueted for the ninth time at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Sawyer on last Friday night. These once a year banquets are a feature of Soroeis which unlike-moet limited clubs does not eat between meal?. One of the first celebrations, if not the first one. was made very memorable by Mrs. Bryan. The occasion was a farewell to Miss Sarah Wool Moore, one of the members of the club. When Mrs. Bryan's turn came after the cafe noir she solemnly arose while an accompanist sat down before a doleful melodion and played a few bars of our national hymn. Then Mir. Bryan said she had written a farewell ode to Miss Moore and would read it two lines at a time and asked the company to join in singing it. So far as laughter allowed the company complied with her request All the Bpeeches which suc ceeded were affectionately funny and frothy and the impression that remains after many years has never been dis placed by another equally successful. Yet the ninth annual. banquet was crowned with witty speeches and spon taneous laughter and good feeling. The program committee, Mrs. Summers and Mrs. Tibbitts, bad surreptitiously collected the ancient-photographs of the members of Soroais and encircled by wreaths of amaranth they hung upon the Iare curtains .labeled the Three graces, the nine muses, the three furies, the three harpies and the three gorgons Every man received a card of the myth ological being selected by the committee as best for him and he was obliged to identify her by the ancient likeness impaled upon the wall. Not a man failed which shows that he does possess the lightning intuitions and unreason ing instincts denied him by gifted but unreliable novelists and psychologists. The elaborate menu was arranged by a committee of which Mrs. Atkinson was chairman, assisted by Mrs. Snell and Mrs Campbell. Four noiseless young ladies very deftly and very kindly served the courses. They were Misses Mc Oahey, Thomas, Custer and Miller, with Miss Ena Ricketts as director of the feast. The secretary Mrs. Burlingim began the after dinner fun making by calling the roll in rbymed couplets which eo ingeniously and when necessity required, tortuously matched that it was very amusing. Miss Turner sang very sweet ly and Mrs. Campbell and Miss Miller aang and played to a very appreciative audience as per program which follows: The Roll Call Mrs. W. E.
