An unusually interesting meeting OF
the Woman's club Of Ashland was held
at the home OF Mrs. Laverty, December
ID. Notwithstanding that it is the
busiest time Of the year, when all woman
kind is actively engaged in Christmas
work, there was larger attendance Of
members than at any previous meeting.
1t is the custom of this club to hold it's
meetings at the home of the leader for
the day, consequently Mrs. Laverty had
the meeting in charge. Subject, Tenny-

the following members: Early Poems,
Mrs. Wiggenhorn; "1he Spinster's

from Enoch Arden, Mrs. Fales; "Break,
Break. Break" Miss Dora Wiggenhorn.
Mrs. White sang, 20 Ye Tears" Mrs.
Steele accompanied. Miss Helen Shedd
sang very sweetly Tennyson's Sweet
and Low" accompanied by her sister
Edith, who has q sweet, clear voice.
When it was announced that Mre. White
would read Tennyson's Dream Of Fair
Women" and the rooms were being
darkened. an air OF anticipation. and
mystery began to pervade the atmos.
phere and all felt that surprise was to
be perpetrated. The reader, from q
dimly lighted corner Of the room, pro.
ceeded with the poem, and when arriv-
ing at that point where Queen Eliza
beth is introduced, the folding doors
opened and revealed what looked the
veritable queen clothed in the regal
robes Of her majesty, this character was
taken by Mrs. Fales. Throughout the
poem the fair women were illustrated
by tableaux. A screen Of gauze was ar.
ranged between the doors, through
which the pictures we're viewed, the
light from one electric globe falling be.
tween that and the picture, which was
against dark background, produced
the softened effect Of a painting; Miss

Penny was the typically jealous, scorn-
full queen; it closed with Mrs. Camps

The program given by the Depart.
ment OF Literature of the Fairbury club
on December 10th, was one Of unusual
interest and was we'll attended. The
music by Mrs. Perry was excellent. Mrs.
T. j. Andrews reviewed Richard Carvel
by Churchill. Mrs. Andrews not only
understands perfectly the story she is to
tell but has the faculty of condensinR it,
while presenting the essentials. The
closest attention was given while Mrs.
Herbert Bright took the Club on a trim
through Germany. She spoke Of the
cities OF Berlin.' Dresden, Munich. Nurm.
emherg, Cologne, and Heidelberg. Mrs.
Bright's descriptions were graphic and
eagerly listened to. They denoted one
who travelled with eyes open to the beau.

The program was very short less than
an hour in length, and the pumbers
we're we'll chosen. 1t was opened and
closed by piano solo from a youthful
but talented performer. The first plav.
or, Miss Marian Camp. gave a pleasing
rendition of Mendelssohn's scherzo in F
sharp minor, and at the close Miss Edith
Shaw played several Of Schumapp's
etudes symphonic with a breadth ard
intellectual grasp surprising at her AGE,
AZ an encore Miss Shaw played "Stac-
cato Caprice" by Vogrich. The soprano
Miss Raymond, was evidently suffering
from combination Of nervousness and
hoarseness in the first verse Of her mum.
Der. but she rallied bravely and finished
with such good effect that she received
little extra applause for her pluck.
The contraltos were Miss Reynolds and
Mrs. +. Lewis Baker. The former gave
a martial Border Ballad and the lat
ter an arch Spanish ditty, MAMA Dice.n
Mrs. Baker wac enthusiastically recalled
but did not sing again. Mr.. Martin the
only gentleman present, won his share
OF appreciation in song by Chaminade
The ladies Of the Wayne, Nebraska,
Monday club met with Mrs. E. M. Smith,
and right jolly good time was spent.
The ladies came early and informally.
Inc order OF the day being "Kensington"
they came armed with doilies, tides,
sota-pillows, or some piece of fancy work
destined to make glad the heart Of some
dear one. The writer looked about for
the inevitable slippers for hubby"
which for centuries have made their
appearance before Christmas, but it was
evident that they had become thing OF
the past. Our genial hostess not un-
mindful OF the way to reach the hearts
OF the ladies, as we'll as the gentlemen,
served refreshments during the after.
noon. which made US all wish that
Christmas came more than once year.
The reading Of the minutes OF previous
session was the only business transacted n
The time to adjourn came all to SONY
but it came nevertheless, and as the
good wishes were exchanged and the
larewells said, the last session Of the
Monday club Of 1899 crept into minutes.
The parliamentary department OF the
Woman's club will not meet Tuesday,
December 26. as it lie thought best to
postpone meetings during Christmas
week. The next meeting will occur Jan.
uary 9th. and it is hoped that there will
be no diminution in the attendance on
account OF the long vacation.
