The Homer club with their invited
guests were delightfully."- entertained
by Mrs. Clinton II Moore on MTednes-
day afternoon, April %. at her home IN
East Broadway. Each spring since the
organization of the club an anniver-
sary day has been celebrated by a spe-
cial programme and reception. Through
the efforts of Mrs. Moore, the president
of the club, Mrs. Ella Knowles Haskell
of Helena, consented to address the Ia
dies informally on Interesting Fea-
lures of Southern Life" as CLEANED in
six weeks tour. Before introducing
Mrs. Haskell to the guests, Mrs. Moore
gave the history of the organization
of the Homer club briefly. In Febru-
airy, 1891, Mrs. Nettie +. Caspar, now
second vice president of the Woman's
club of Denver, Colorado. then a resi-
dent of Butte, invited 20 women to
meet at her house weekly for study.
Ancient Grecian history was first stud
led, preparatory to the reading of Bry-
ants translation of the "Iliad" and
Odyssey" From the author of these
classics the club took its name This
programme, which was completed in
December 1892, was carried on by
readings and by special accounts Of the
NEUROLOGICAL character mentioned in
the text. In January, 1898, the club be-
gan the history Of the early explorers
of acknowledgements, English,
French and Spanish. Irving's History
OF Columbus" was read in connection
with the papers prepared. In the fall
of 1893. Roman history was begun and
the work as outlined by special COM
mittee continued throughout the win
ter. The winter of 1895 and 1896 was
devoted to the study of French history
and the past year has been devoted to
the history of England. Until May,
1895, the organization was very simple.
The club was limited To 20 members,
with but one officer, a president. on
May 49, 1895, the club adopted con-
stitution and bylaws, elected the re-
quired number of officers. and on June
goth was admitted to membership in
the General Federation of Woman's
clubs. being the first club in Montana
to unite with that organization.
Following the outline of the life and
work of the club, the secretary, Miss
Hammond. read an interesting letter
of greeting from Mrs. Caspas. the
founder of the club.
The president then introduced Mrs.
Haskell. who gave an interesting de-
scription of the exposition at Atlanta
and her trip through Florida. Her
manner was pleasing and captivating
and undated interest was manifest
throughout the lecture Historical
places were wildly portrayed. man
ners and customs of southern people
pleasingly described and the whole
narrative interspersed with happy IL
Illustrations Of people and incidents. At
