Mrs. K. E. L Morgan ihe greetings
at the door foretold the enjoyments
ol the occasion
No residence more suitable for an
occasion of this kind could have been
selected in Norman, and it is doubt-
ful it more elaborate decorations were
ever seen in the city. Great banks of
potted plants were seen on every side.
On entering the reception room
there was pinned to each one a slip
of paper on which was written the
name ot some person of national re-
putation or note. This was so pinned
to b~e invisible to the one on which it
was pinned. Each party after hear-
ing suggestions as to some character-
istics of the person whose name he
carried was required to name him.
As fast as tl e name was given cor-
lectly this siip oi pr.per was removed
and 111 its stead there was placed an-
other for further guessing. The one
guessing the greatest number of the
names when all had been used, was
awarded the prize. Just as might have
been expected, W. N. Kucker walked
ot! with the prue, accompanied by
Mrs. W. N. Rucker, who won second
prize.
After this came an informal pro-
gram arranged by Mrs. J. D. Maguire.
This program consisted of readings
by Miss Agnes Lindsay and Mrs.
Campbell, vocal music by Mrs. lJrit-
chett and Miss Lindsay, instrumental
solos by Miss Davis and Mr. Ma-
guire. This program, tho impromptu,
arranged by Mrs. Maguire afforded
an entertainment replete with an en-
joyment and pleasure far better than
that given by many formal and stu
died programs. While justice would
suggest that special mention should
be made of each in connection with
1 er the of the pr
gram assigned her, injustice would be
done if the proper compliment were
not paid Miss Agnes Lindsay. Her
readings and vocal solo show her to
possess extraordinary talent, and re-
fiecr credit alike upon her and her
I fcuod mother and father.
At the ctncluion of this program
the hungry husbands saw the expect-
ed happen. However, it should be
mentioned that during the intermis
sion some of those most devoutly in
clined were entertained by the able
and distinguished lioosier, Mr. L.
J. Edwards, with Sunday School
Stories. It is downright sinful to omit
these stories, but space forbids, and
this is ample apology to Mr. Ed-
wards.
For the banquet the tables were
arranged for four to each table. At
the plate of each was placed a card
prepared by the university cartoonist,
In some manner this cartoonist had
come into possession of the physical,
social, moral and financial photograph
of every one to enjoy thi banquet.
These photographs had been repro-
duced with an exactness and an ac
curacy that astounded some who be
held themselves in the cartoon photo
placed at each guests plate. It
told a life history to some. It made
some ask the question "How do you
know," and others ask the question
"What next?" It practically put some
out of business, but the severest touch
of all was that given to Mr. L. J. Ed
wards. Mr. Edwards was seen to have
a group of his friends in one corner
and there came from his lips this
much of the expression easily heard
by the writer "Almost ruined me.
This feature of the entertainment
presented an originality and some
thing unique, reflecting credit upon
the makers of the program.

These are the toasts Mrs. J. D. Ma-

ship Mrs. J. B. Taylor

Mrs. D. W. Griffin
"Our old fashioned Mothers—the salt

and spoke to tlie delight and pleasure
of all.
I he responses by the ladies, who
are members of the club, were de-
hghtiul indeed and would have done
credit to the trained after-dinner
speaker. Every one of these ladies
plainly demonstrated that she had
the training and influence of the club
and had been a close observer of its
motto: "The world is advancing, ad-
vance with it."
Ihe club colors were carried out
almost every detail-*-White and
Gold. The favors were white and pink
carnation—the club flower.
It is doubtful if Oklahoma has an-
other who could make a better toast-
mistress than did Mrs. J. D. Maguire.
She presides with an ease, grace and
dignity that at once gives the high-
est degree of tone and pleasure. She
surely gained the well merited com-
pliments of every one whose good
fortune it was to be present.
Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Lindsay, as
host and hostess, at whose handsome
home the entertainment was given
are at the head of the list of Norman's
most excellent entertainers. Nothing
was left undone by them to add pleas-
ure and joy to every one. The ban-
quet began in 1909 and lasted till well
into 1910, and several were heard to
remark that the Old Regime Club
had furnished them the very highest
entertainment "for the better part of
two years".
Without an exacting formality so
frequently observed; with the evi-
dence of genuine pleasure on the face
of every arrangement perfect in every
detail; the event has been pronounced
perfect.
