In the evening Mrs. Sewall gave a lecture in the Salt Lake Assembly Hall, her subject being "Current Tendencies in Education," which was very fine, the only regret being that so few availed themselves of this rare opportunity of hearing this celebrated woman of international fame. Tuesday morning Mrs. Sewall drove about the city to places of special interest and made some calls, went through Mrs. McCune's new residence, "The Bungalow," and called again at the Bee Hive. In the afternoon she spoke at a parlor meeting at Mrs. P. T. Farnsworth's elegant home, on the subject of Internationalism and the Internationa Council of Women. Mrs. Farnsworth's charming little daughters served punch and lemonade to the guests at the meeting. The same afternoon a tea party was given for her at the residence of Gen. and Mrs. John Q. Cannon at the Cannon Farm, formerly the residence of President George The guests were, besides the Q. Cannon. hostess (Mrs. Cannon) and the Guest of Honor, Mrs May Wright Sewall: Dr. Romania B. Pratt, Mrs. A. V. McCune, Mesdames Sarah Jane Cannon, Martha T. Cannon, Eliza T. Cannon and Carlie Y. Cannon, also Mrs. E. B Wells, Mrs. S. W. Sears and Mrs. Lewis M. Cannon. Later in the evening Mrs. Sewall was shown through the beautiful grounds and some of the residences of the family of President George Q. Cannon, and Gen. John Q. Cannon gave her a brief history of the planting, cultivating and beautifying of the grounds now so delightful and so much admired; how this spot near the banks of the Jordan had been converted from a slough of weeds and thistles, had been made habitable and beautified by the thrift, energy and perseverance of his father's efforts and determination. We took our leave of Mrs. Sewall that evening about eleven jo'clock. The following morning she took train for Provo in company with Miss Aggie Campbell and Miss Estella Neff. At Provo she was right royally entertained by the citizens en masse and was the special guest of Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. Sewall gave a lecJacob F.
