SCEXllS AT CHAUTAUQUA SHIFT Notables Attend Reception to Miss Anne Shannon Monroe.

Miss Anne Shannon Monroe, who has just returned from an extended sojourn in the Fast and who won many laurels while away. The armfulls of packages brought In were simply the makings of a strictly temperate punch and the wherewithal to serve it. Then came a message from the guest of honor that she had been kidnaped on the way and carried off to attend a luncheon given by the Birthday Club at the home of Mrs. Reefenberg, but with assurances that she and her sis ter, Mrs. Leon Story, would arrive later. In the meantime N Poon Chew, the renowned Chinese statesman, was cap tured, by Mrs. Bertha Taylor Voorhorst and escorted to the reception, which was presided, over by Mrs. Julia C LeBarre and Mrs. Townsend, resident hostesses, assisted by Mrs. Colista M Dowllng, president of the Woman's Tress Club, and other members In- -tr.-- , - J a2 " -v. i v - s ' 2 " Ta,-;jiiu.. :c V jsHZ" ; V jvCJU-'J ?'fA: VM' -r 7 - eluding Mrs. Nathan Harris1: Mrs. C.

Mrs. Manly then gave a sketch of her recent trip abroad and in the midst of it Miss Monroe 'arrived. OI course Miss Monroe was called upon to give an aeccount of herself and her work. . . Some of the quetions puto her were' "How did you get your stuff accepted?" "When you first commenced to write did your manuscripts come back?" Very modestly rMiss Monroe attributed her success, to the fact that Eastern publishers are looking for strictly Western matter" and, as she happened in Just at the right time with the Western viewpoint, she was taken up jit' jr. s y .rw . , V-t, nJS .i-5 -s. -; fk V fs" V ?5f,.V-ri :-'V" T...vv--.r.
