The Euterpe Club.

Judged by the spirit that has actuated
its membership and by the results OF It's
activity in the comparatively short
period of its organized existence, the
Euterpe Club may very properly be
given "A place of some usefulness and
consideration in the social and artistic
life of our charming village. Started
by the ladies, It's work has largely been
carried on by them, the subsequent adj
mission Of the gentlemen 20 the priv
leges of the Club being only the natural
outcome of desire to do them good.
From the first, devotion 10 music itself,
TO the exclusion of the merely popular
and evanescent in connection with 1t
has vitalized the work of the CLUB.
Such themes as, musical forms, the
content and meaning of music, the IN
tellectual and moral value OF music,
have been discussed with an earnest
desire to know the truth. The field OF
the art has been traverSed chronology
cally and the characteristics OF ITS
masters have been studied and Illus
trated. In carrying out this serious pur-
pose with some measure OF success the
spirit of good Fellowship among the
members has been very helpful. From
every man according 70 his ability has
been the principle Of action cordially
accepted by all in their relations to the
organization.
Besides carrying on the regular work
touched upon above, the Club has given
a number OF concerts, which have been
well patroniZed by the local public and
! have called forth many kind expressions
of appreciation In the quality and
range Of selection represented on thell
programs, these concerts will compare
| favorably with those of similar organl-
cations in much larger communities,
and the fact that such programs have
been given with public approval Is
proof sufficient that the musical taste Of
Alma audiences is far above the ordl
nary. In addition to these public APP
pearanccs as Il Club, 1t members have
individually been ready always to hell
as musicians in all public functions ano
have been largely represented therein.
The Club VIII soon open Its seventh
season under the able direction OF y
| w. Beckner rs president. The commu
nifty looks with pride upon the past
achievements and confidently expects
of it still greater ones III the future.

The Monday Club. St. Louis.

The Monday Club of st. Louis was
organized January goth, 1890, as a
means for social and intellectual inn
provement among its twenty god-moth-
ers.
During its existence the members
of the Club have studied the histories Of
France, Germany and Spain and have
spent two years with Shakespeare.
From time TO time miscellaneous sub.
iects have been interspersed III the more
formal and didactic work of the Club.
Parliamentary law has received its full
share of attention.
This year we are devoting the time TO
the study of Household Economies, and
before the year closes will take Mexico
in hand Since the fortunes Of war
have given Us such new rich territorial
possessions, it is anticipated the Mon
day Club, as well as all other Women
Clubs will take up for their members
the study of the people, their wants, the
resources of those beautiful islands and
how they may be developed. The
question of the education of the child
rem and many other points around
which the women of America will play
important parts. But this is di-
vergence. The st. Louis Monday Clut
