READS CLUB PAPER ON SUBJECT "FOOLS"

Mrs. H. H. Ferntbeil was both hoaless and leader, Mopday afternoon, for the Research club. The meeting was held at. the Ferntheil home on Mercer avenue. The paper wn based on the subject, "Fools" and proved very interesting as well us timely. It begun with a history of April Fool's day, telling of the custom of practicing innocent impostures upon 'insuspicious neighbors. Examples were given from the early history of England and France, and the custom can l>e traced back to the Hull, a festival of the Hindoos stories, failles, poems from Edgar Guest and Rudyard Kipling. Anecdotes from Abraham Lincoln and others were given to show how we spend our lives being tooled, fooling others, fooling ourselves. The court fool or jester was compared to our modern humorists, as Kin Hubhard. Oliver Herford, George Ade, Carolyn Wells, Gelett Burgess, and Will Rogens, stating that the professional wit is the peculiar product of America. A resume was given of the New England Primer, commonly known as the blue-backed speller because one of the cleverest men of which this country ever boasted undoubtedly learned his first; lessons from this little primer — Benjamin Franklin. Father Abraham’s Harangue, the cream of Franklin's Almanac, was reviewed. A letter was read, which was written in 1520 by Martin Luther in which he stated that he owed to the world another folly and that he was resolved to be Court Fool for once in bis life —that often a fool has spoken wisely and wise men have done foolishly. The paper closed with a sketch of St. Paul’s letters to the Corinthians, in which he calk’d himself a fool—a fool for Christ's sake—being reviled we Wess, being persecuted, we endure, being defamed. we entreat. The word fool occurs (qrty times in the New Testament and eighteen of the forty are in Corinthians in practically every case with a strong accent, of irony. The next meeting will be held with Mrs. O. E. Miller and Mrs. J. F. Fruchte will have charge of the paper. The Pythian Sister lodge will furnish a very unique entertainment in the form of an Ohl Time Concert, at the Knights ot Pythias Hall, Tuesday evening, April 9. at eight o’clock An admission of twenty-five cents will be charged the public desiring to see the performance.
