W. P. Cochran for several weeks, left The following sarcastic "take-off of women's meetings was read by a bright Austin woman to a local assembly of women, not many days ago. It was so amusing and so much en-Joyed by all present that It is here given entire: As Other See Us. It was a very important meeting of the Dorothy uodd society in Doddvllle.

Much important business was to be tinished before the summer adjournment for vacation. At the appointed hour nearly all the members were promptly in their seats, but so Inter-ested were they In conversation in groups about the room that it was more than fifteen minutes past the time when the president remembered to call the society to order. Mrs. New Secretary called the roll for her first time in a. trembling and scarcely audible voice.

The former secretary was soon to marry out of office, and her timid successor was "performing" for her first time. The minutes of the previous meeting were fad In the same scared and doubtful tones; then the chair announced ready for unfinished business. Instantly Mrs. Newly Wed was on her feet, with a flush of excitement. Saying that a matter of great importance must then and there be discussed, ns their faithful secretary of long ser vice was to be married, and of course the society desired to honor itself In honoring her with a deserved and appropriate gift.

Just then Mrs, Point of Order arose and called Mrs. Newly Wed to order, as her motion would come under the head of new business. The chair looked helplessly around and failed to sustain the last speaker In her point of order, so Mrs. Newly Wed did not yield the floor, but continued to speak at length on the beautiful custom of wedding gifts, and the standpoint of one who knew her ground thoroughly, and who had given the matter much thought, for It must be remembered that she had but recently passed through the same great event. After a fifteen minute talk, she suggested that every member be assessed a dollar a piece thus making a purse of about fifteen dollars, enough to purchase simple piece of cut glass or silver.

Instantly several women were on their feet and all talking at once, and many who kept their Beats joined in the clamor. The chair again looked helplessly about her and Mrs. Point of Order dumbly wrung ber hands. Mrs. Theo- retlcal Dreamer had the floor at last, and she proceeded to produce a list of articles and their prices suitable for this very emergency.

Her list Included china, sliver, cut glass, brlc brae, ranging In price from ten to one hundred and fifty dollars. She stated that she had recently made the rounds of the shops In anticipation of the wedding of the member. Then Mrs. Pen- nywise interrupted, saying. We can not buy any one hundred and fifty dollar present or a hundred dollar one.

as for that so why should we take up our time talking about them? Because it would be perfectly lovely if we could give such presents," sweetly answered Mrs. Dreamer, smiling around the circle. Mrs. Practical Economy was on her feet and plunged headlong Into the subject, her strident tones rising above the general hubbub; she said, "I think a cook book Just good enough any wedding gift, and giving does not mean being assessed or taxed. By actually giving ten cents each, a good one dollar and a half cook book could be gotten, and every bride needs a cook book, goodness knows!" During the shower of exclamations which followed this very sensible remark, Mrs.

Point of Order once got the floor, and urged the ladles to allow the matter to take Us turn, when a committee could be appointed to take the present matter under advisement; there was unfinished business of Importance, nnd there was no need of wasting nil the valuable time. She received for her pains a glance of general displeasure. Then Mrs. Oldest Member deliberately arose and said In calm, measured tones that she had not yet spoken on the subject, and it was her right to peak now, as all the other had done so. She rambled on for ten minutes, while the chair looked more helpless raid Mrs.

Paint of Order more desperate. Just then Mrs. Always Tardy arrived In an excited flutter and asked know what was the subject under discussion. The chair amiably took seven minutes to explain; then Mrs. Hard of Hearing moved her chair near the president and asked that it be explained to hr, as she has been unable ti follow In the general confusion.

Seven minutes more were then taken up In explanation, making one quarter of an hour in nil. Then Mrs. Common Sense spoke right out In meeting, saying she thought five dollars were enough to pay for anybody's wedding gift, and that was all the society had pnld for the one given to Mrs. Newly Wed. The circle of women gasped from the shock, for they had begun to believe that Mrs.

Newly Wed thought her present cost fifteen dollars. Then Mrs. Penywlse suoke up In cold and icy tones and said she had served the Dorothy Dodd long and well. long before Miss Going-to Marry ever came Into the society, and she had never received so much as a birthday remembrance. So far as she was concerned the fifteen dollars pres- ent would be given without her.

for ten cents was all she was going to give any one. Then all the women talked at once. while Mrs. President and Miss New Secretary conversed eagerly together. As soon as there was a lull In the confusion, the new secretary arose and Stated that she had been studying up the duties of her office; she hnd understood that she should record motions made, whether carried or lost, and bv whom made and seconded; that the time for the meeting was past and she had so far recorded that "the Dorothy Dodd met at the usual place and time, the president In the chair and most of the members present." Mrs.

Point of Order sarcastically said she could record that It had adjourned, also, but few present seemed to see the point. This reminded Mrs. Punctual to move that the society adjourn. She said she always made it a point to be home In time for luncheon. The chair then stated that Mrs.

Point of Order had a parliamentary drill for about five or ten minutes, but there was an evident flutter of leaving at once. Nearly every woman remembered that something urgent was awaiting her, and asked in audible and excited tones to be excused. The hostess of the society came to the rescue and cordially pressed the guests to remain to cream and cake, as it was their last meeting for some time. Instantly every wonian paused, hesitated and remained, even Mrs. Punctual breaking her rule of always being on time at home for luncheon.

Nothing more was said of learning parliamentary rulings. Moral: Women In general know absolutely nothing of narllmentary law. and do not want to learn anything of it. -tis a pity, 'tis true; 'tis true, 'tis a pity!" In response to the Invitations sent out by Master John Mettenhelmer about three score and ten little folks assembled at his home Monday afternoon to erjoy a frolic. In the happiest manner they danced around the gaily trimmed Maypole, played games, seesawed, swung or cake-walked the whole afternoon through.

Though his least until the guests had assembled, the birthday cake with Its four lighted candles told that it was the little man's birthday. It made the pretty decoration for the center of the refreshment table, and upon being cut Its secrets were enjoyed with the eating, ueuc- ious refreshments of cream and cake, candies and fruit added not a little to the pleasure of the guests, who de parted wishing the small host many happy returns of his birthday.
