The Woman's Club.
The regular meeting of the Woman's
club occurred at their rooms on Main
street Wednesday afternoon. After a
brief business session and few words
on the address of Mr.. Sparks, the first
in their course, in which the women
expressed the greatest satisfaction with
the dicourse, the literary session was
begun. The afternoon was devoted to
history. Miss Martina Erickson dealt
very ably with the subject of the hun
dred years war. Miss Erickson used
no manuscript, but told in very sim
pie, yet comprehensive way, the story
of the long contentious between Eng
land and France, covering the period
from Philip VI of France to Charles
VII. The speaker gave the events
which led up to the war, the direct
causes, the salient features, both mar
rative and const tutional, of it's history,
and the final termination, through the
efforts of Joan of Arc, which resulted in
the unifcation of France. Miss Erick-
sons graceful handling of the subject
made the narrative of that, which, as
recorded in the average history, is very
complicated and tiresome, interesting
and easily understood. The discussion
was omitted, but the usual tea followed
the speech.

tertained last night by the Misses Bond.
Three tables were present and twenty

and dainty luncheon was served by
the hostess.
