The Montgomery Club was entertained
by Mr. and Mrs. Allan Farquhar
Saturday in their beautiful new
home. Despite the rainy weather there
was a full attendance. Among the
guests were Mr. Arthur Farquhar, of
York, and Mr. Edward Farquhar, of
Washington. Mr. Frank M. Hallowell
was foreman and Mr. J.J. Shoemaker
acted as a secretary. Mr. Allan Farquhar
read an excellent paper upon
'' Suffrage,'' which met with decided
approbation: he advocated education
and ownership of property to be necessary
qualifications, and spoke favorably
of the voting machine. Considerable
time was devoted to explaining
and admiring his fine new mansion,
the most attractive part of which
proved to be the dining room where a
delicious supper was handsomely
served. The meeting next month will
be with Mr. Frank M. Hallowell.
A dozen ladies spent a charming
day with Mrs. Walter H. Brook Tuesday.
While they were occupied with
fancy work, Mrs. Brooke read to them
a new novel "The Benefactoress." The
reading will be continued next Tuesday
p.m., at Mrs. Roger Brook's, as
it proved interesting to all present.

E.P. Taylor, Mrs. E.G. Thomas,
Miss M.E Gilpin, and Mrs. E. T.

the Methodist Sunday school entertainment
Friday night. Songs, dialogues
and recitations made up an attractive
program. Gertrude Marlow,

Mrs. Bessie Ervin, Miss Nettie Thompson
and Mr. Mulliard

Mr. R. Thomas West, prinicpal of
the Rockville public schools, spent the
holidays with his parents at Ashton,
Mr. West has had a very successful
year at Rockville. A noteworthy feature
was the Christmas donation by
the pupils of the school for the poor.
Insteads of the usual gifts from the
scholars to the teachers, Professor
West suggested that the boys and
girls should all bring something to
be given the unfortunate and poor of
the neighborhood about Rockville.
As a result many useful gifts gladdened
otherwise cheerless homes and
brought happiness to many children
whose stockings Santa Claus often
overlooks.
The W.C.T.U held an interesting
meeting at Melrose. A poem entitled
"My Inspiration," by the late Mrs.
Bessie Thom, was read by Mrs.
Charles Stabler. The ladies decided
to urge the Legislature to so amend
the local option law that violators
shall be imprisoned as well as fined.
