Assembly night at the Shreveport Golf and Country club. "Just As It Happens" it was very cheering to listen to the "optimistic" eloquence of the Rotarians while at their luncheon yesterday noon at une Colonial. It was good lunchun, calculated to bring a cheering mood: gumbo, chicken friccase, lettuce salad, rice, potatoes, cauliflower, upple pie, cheese, tea and coffee. In the absence of Mr. Babb, the speechmaster was Mr.

J. G. Gredler, who sounded the note of the meeting as one or cheer and hope. It was a fortunate thing to be a carnation decked guest at the crimson private table of Mrs. McCloud, for It gave a vantage point for hearing all that was said.

The incentive to eloquence was not alone the cheerful motive but that Mr. A. J. Manheim had promised a box of the most rragrant, rich crimson roses, 'the Hanley," to the most popular of the it- teen talks. Now, listening to one and all the advice is freely and sately given to the women of this city that there is not the slightest need for the economy they have been practicing.

The onlv man who had had bad bustness was Dr. J. L. Scales, and his bad business is other folks' good bush.es. Each one told of increased volume Ca business over last year, and no doubt the same tale was repeated to economizing wives who up to date had been implored to recognize the stringency of the times and to refrain from expenditure.

Dr. Sexton was the prizewinner, and while his statements were given full credit for the amount of money received, his argument for prosperity, founded on the fact that people cut off their contributions to church and charity among their first acts of retrenchment, were not SO readily accepted. But the humor of his taik pleased the majority and he received the beautiful, fragrant prize. The Rotarians seem to be as talkative as a prosperous woman's club, and to be taking in new members. The practice of calling new members and guests to rise for survey may pe 8 little embarrassing but it is one recommended to the women's organizations as singling out the new and the strange for recognition and courtesies.

AMERICA- LEFT TO RIGHT: MARY PANKHURST'S BODYGUARD, AND "We feel in England that the outcome of this war will give us suffrage. But we all look to America as our great hope. In the peace that will finally come it will be your President who will make the terms, and whether or not we get suffrage will depend quite a lot on what America is going to do. "We think our men will come out of the war in a chastened attitude of mind. "They will be shown that a militant revolution is extremely merciful compared with any war.

They will see how trivial it is to be furiously angry about a broken piece of glass compared with broken towns and cities. "I have not come to America to advocate militancy, because you seem to me more broad-minded, more publicspirited, more as a unit, but all chise reforms in Great Britain and Ireland have come at the price of human sacrifice and human life.
