The courier. (Lincoln, Neb.) 1894-1903, 1897-06-12

The Omaha club is OF course the
largest club in the state. 1t is SO large
that it is little unwieldly but being
we'll organized into 'depa, tpents it
seems like sever Al clubs 10 a federation.
Over fivs hundred names grace the club
roster, many having been added duriug
the year past. A club house is one OF
the things the club is looking forward
to, and corporation has been formed
and chartered for the purpose Of
working for a permanent home where
the women Of the state may meet
when they go to Omaha.
The regular public meetings for the
year have been under the departments
OF household economics, Mrs. M. M.
Pugb, leader; English literature, Miss
Jessie Zoller, leader; art, Mrs. Jennie E.
Keyso., leader; current topics. Mary L.
Creigh. leader; current literature, Belle
T. Cartwright, leader; education. Grace
b. Scarborough, leader; m usic, Mary r.
Cunningham. leader; political economy,
Frances M. Ford, leader; parliamentary
practice, Blanche L. McKelvy, leader;
French history, Susanna Walker,
leader; psychology and mental science.
Mary G. Andrews, leader. The program
for the year has been heavy, but there
have been held many musical and
other lighter entertainments to vary the
monotony. Lillian r. Hartford, who Sd
ably looked after the interests Of the
club after Mrs. Ella Peattie removed to
Chicago. was reelected at the annual
meeting held during May.

keeping up with studies and keeping
abreast of the times. Mrs. Teresa
Carey is the president. The program
was a good one, English history and
literature being thoroughly studied.
Papers and extracts from the best
authors, musical selections and recita-
tons made meetings OF much interest
and benefit. The annual picnic is yet
in the future and much enjoyment is
expected from this holiday.
Another club at Seward that attracts
much attention is one composed en-
tirely of youug ladies. 1t is the Fin de
Steele club. About twenty bright and
intelligent young ladies meet and study
Roman history. The program covered
this year would do credit to a college
course. 1t began with the early Roman
kingdom, its inhabitants, the legendary
history and the like and ended with the
decline and fall of the mighty empire
Two evenings were giver to Julius
Caesar during tbs year. Several social
mestings were held, at which many
other than club members were present.

officer.

The town of Crete h Is several clubs
that are doing a cool work. One OF the
Oldest is the Rounl Table. An excel :
lent program Of history. literature and
art has been carried out. No one coun
try has received ths attention OF the
members, but all countries where inter
est was to be found was studied. 1t is a
small club and meets at the home of the
members. Refreshments were served at
the meetings and many times the hus-
bands OF the members were present to
have good time. This club and the
city federation gave one OF the most en-
joyable banquets Of the year during the
winter at which over two hundred
guests were seated in the opera house.
Mrs. F. 1. Foss is the presiding officer of
the club.

StromsburS Woman's club was held
May 81. 1t was made public and was
largely attended. The program was
held in the opera houee. Mrs. A. w.
Field Of Lincoln was present and made
an eloquent and womanly address that
was highly appreciated. Among the
other good things was a recitation
"Mary Queen Of Scots" with tableau
illustrations. The ghost scene from
Hamlet was presented by several ladies
in pretty manner. Ida Makeever re-
cited an original poem Of much beauty
entitled A Dream of Home" After the
program the guests repaired to the
Masonic hall where tables had been set
for the banquet. A menu Of excellent

The town of Fullerton has fine club
called the Mary Barnes Literary club.
Mrs. E. NJ. LAGRANGE is the president.
The yearly program did not consist Of
studies. but simply Of recitations, music
and entertaining things. The club seems
more for social and precautionary pur-
poses and the program was admirably
suited for such purposes. 1t is flourish
Ing club and the meetings Of the year
