The DaIIes w. G. T. u.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, of The Dalles, was organized
October, 1881, by the first state presi-
dent, Mrs. E. j. Hines, in the Third
Street Congregational church; with Mrs.
Smith French, president, and Mrs.
Louisa A. Stowell, secretary.
The earlier years of their work were
principally juvenile. A Band of Hope
was organized in 1882. At one time it
numbered $50 members, and was carried
on with great success.
A free reading room was established
in 1882, and was maintained continuous
ly for thirteen years when for want OF
appreciation and support by the public,
it was discontinued. 1t was pleasant,
quiet, well-ordered place, well supplied
with standard works, late periodicals
and the daily and weekly newspapers.
1t was open to every one from 10 a. m.
to 10 p. m. every day.
Mrs. Willard made the reading room a
donation of 500.
A practical and educating work of the
Union along temperance lines has been
the bringing of celebrated speakers and
lecturers, bringing the different phases
of the work before the people. The mem
bership at present is small but not at all
discouraged, but possessed with a come
to-stay grit.

ST. Paul's Guild.

Women's work in St. Paul's church
began with an offer from General Eaton,
of Portland, of $500, on condition that
a like amount be contributed by our
people.
Mrs. Knaggs raised $655 by SUBJ
scription, and the ladies realized $1O5
from festival, and the corner stone of
the church building was laid May 20,
1874.
This was the nucleus of the present
Guild; permanent organization was
effected in 1875. The life of the church
at times had languished, but for the
able assistance of this faithful band of
workers.
The Sunday school has been kept up
during the times of temporary closing of
the church, and the spiritual condition
of the parish has grown under the minis
trations of the various lines of work
carried out by the committees.
The present officers are: Rev. Joseph
DeForest, rector and president, ex-
oficio; Florence K. Vause, vice-presi-
dent; Henrietta Mansfield, secretary;

The Lutheran Ladies

Society was organized under the con-
stitution and charter of Zion Evangeli-
cal Lutheran church, The Dalles, Ore
gon, on the goth of May, 1896. On this
day a number of ladies met at Mrs
Stubling in response to call from Rev.
L. Grey, who presided at the meeting
The society was organized to more
effectively promote certain religious and
charitable work heretofore largely neg
lected, and to aid in the financial sup
port of the Lutheran church of which
this society is part. Mrs. A. Stubling
was elected president, and presided one
year. Mrs. Theresa Prinz was elected
president in May, 1897, with Mrs. A.
Grey, vice president. These officers are
both efficient workers and the society is
very prosperous. During its two years
existence, it has accomplished much
good religiously and financially, having
paid $500 to the church, and yet this
society is only in it's infancy.

for church purposes was raised by means
of sociables, entertainments and fairs.
During the years OF the society's work
there have been several courses of
lectures arranged for and de-

These lectures were scientific, popular
and educational in their tendency.

A few years ago, organizations COM
posed of and controlled by women were
almost wonder of the age, but today
woman stands on an equal platform with
man in societies of any kind, be they
secret or otherwise. 1t is said:
"Wives cannot keep secret. Just the
moment that they hear
A piece of news they breathe 1t In their
lord and masters ear.
But husbands are not SO, because they
have within their lives,
Lots and lots of things they never tell
their wives"
When we take into consideration the
number of societies now existing
in town the size of our own ''queen OF
the Inland Empire" we can Justly say
that much of their success is due to
woman and her influence, and man is
beginning to reluctantly admit that
woman is his equal if not superior In
her respective station in life. Her
influence permeates society, as the
fragrant rose distills it's sweetness DER
the earth.
In preparing sketches of the different
societies, we have endeavored to re-
member them all, and if we have failed
it has been an oversight on our part.
We feel deeply grateful to Mesdames
Smith French, Shackleford, Liebe, Don
nell, Crandall, Prinz, Myers, Crossen,
Bayard, Miss McNiel and Father Bron-
geest for data, etc., concerning their res
pective societies. The following list COM
prises the women {. lodges and societies
of the churches in which woman reigns
supreme: i.
The. .Taine Glass.
In September, 1893, few ladies of The
Dalles assembled for the purpose OF
forming literary society. AS Taine's
History of English Literature" was de-
cided upon for the text book of the year,
the assembly assumed the name of 'The
Taine Glass;
For the two ensuing years the study
of English literature was pursued, and
in the third year Guizot's "History of
Civilization in Europe" was adopted as
the text book After that followed
Draper's intellectual Development of
Europe" which has occupied the time
up to the present. Many delightful
evenings have been spent reading and
discussing the various subjects in hand,
and papers are presented weekly by it's
members. Occasionally reception or
Shakespearian reading, Dickens par
ty or some other social and intellectual
pastime has been INDUCED in, and the
society has been most harmonious and
delightful. Meetings take place every
Monday evening at the homes of MEM
bers and the class is limited to fifteen in
number.
