fair was the reception given by
Mrs. .LG. Addy on last Friday.
After the guests had assembled,
slips of paper upon which were
written the names of those present
were passed around; the object be

poetry about the one whose name
was drawn—complimentary or
otherwise, depending solely upon
the subject under discussion. The
occasion developed a number of

to feel that the claims of society
and home duties had robbed the
world of many Mrs. Brownings
and Jean Bigelows.
After due consideration, the
judges awarded the prize to Miss
Neiia Lou Walton, who had drawn
Mrs. M. F. <’ole’s name. For im
