ferns and cut flowers added much to
the pretty rooms.
1t is needless to say that the tongues
flew faster than the needles but many
new ideas for Christmas fancy work
were gained by comparing the pretty
pieces of needle work. Delicious re-
freshments were served in two courses.

The Domestic Science Club of Lincoln.
The Domestic Science club Of Lin
coin, Kan, was organized three years
ago by Mrs. c. B. Daughters. The OBJ
ject of the organization as stated in
the constitution is Ito promote and OBJ
tain for its members the means of gen
eral culture and the improvement of
the home
The present officers of the club are:
President, Mrs. Z. A. Mcfarland; vice
presidents, Mrs. John Whalen and Mrs.
c. B. Jones; secretary, Mrs. c. B.
Daughters; treasurer, Mrs. John Wha-
len; parliamentarian Mrs. A c. Waite.
The club now has a membership of
about so, having had a steady growth
from it's organization. The Domestic
Science club is really a Mothers I'm
1On; every programme includes a pa
per or discussion some question of
vital interest to the welfare of the
children. Every member considers it
her duty to cooperate with the teach
ers in the mental and moral training
of their children, and to interest moth
ers in all walks of life in working to
improve themselves and their home
life. One of the active club members
is a practicing physician and gives lee
lures every fortnight to the club and
visitors. These lectures are on sub
jectS, with which every one should be
familiar. Last year the club studied
works on domestic economy and had
the advantage of hearing a number of
lectures on the subject. 1t is hoped
that during the coming year a cooking
class, conducted by a professional dem
OnstratOr, may be organized for the
benefit of the school girls and members
of the club, also a sewing class. Two
years ago a sewing class was held dur
ing the summer vacation which was of
great benefit to those attending, also a
class in cabinet making, for the boys;
the last however was given up as it was
impossible to find a room suitable for
the purpose, but it is hoped that it will
be re-establfshed-
The club is strongly in favor of in
dustrial training in the public schools
and hopes that in time the legislature
will pass a bill favoring the introduce
ton of it into the schools.
The club is endeaVoring to form the
entire county into organizations for
library and study purposes and has al
ready sent in application blanks for
three travelling libraries for country
clubs.
