Another inexplicable feature Of Italian

lack Of respect for their own music. Un

most important subject for thoughtful
consideration by all club women, for IL
/, the "duties and affections OF home
that produce the full rich manhood and
the complete womanhood' and IL is
from this union that we find the ideal
home, which Ia the fairest flower OF oar
civilization.
Now after the study and discussion
which has been given to this subject by
cubs during the past year. are we not
justified In the assertion that club
women make the most attractive homes.
and the best Of mothers and wivesY
Otherwise our club movement is a
failure.
Although the club movement has
been the target for merciless critics,
who have failed to realize that IL is one
OF the most potent forces for good Of
the 10Th century, yet it's growth has
been marvelous, and its humanizing in
tluence is felt In nearly every city. town
and village OF our land.
1t has descended like benetictiun to
bless and to brighten the lives OF thou
sands by bringing them into closer
sympathy and In touch with the in
tellectual aims and attainments which
create new impulses and give greater
force and efficiency to life and endeavor.
1t has become the happy medium for
concerted action, and when several
hundred thousand American women
join hands for purpose, there are no
barriers tina, can withstand them.
All questions pertaining to the do
nestle, social and educational advance
ment OF women, make up the curricu-
lum OF club study. But az progress
'is the watchword Of the day" we must
exert our ingenuity and energy to de-
wise and develop new methods. that will
give greater emphasis and stability to
the work for which we have pie iged our
time and our best endeavors.
1t is gratifying to know that We have
gained one point after another, from
the individual to the development of
the club, and from the local club to the
state federation, until the climax seems
to have bsen reached 10 the general
federation OF Woman's clubs. The
work thus far has surpassed our most
sanguine expectations and as we look
over this audience Of intelligent. refined
and noble women. we cannot but feel
that the evolution OF good depends
largely upon the elevating influence
which you as women must aid 10 WELD.

criticism and possibly censure, but
these smiles OF welcome and handclasps
OF friendship have banished all thought
save that Of kindly feeling, and l now
desire to thank you for the honor which
you have conferred upon me. A brief
review OF the work accomplished during
the past year reveals the fact that the
time has not been spent ia pleasant
idleness, but that greater earnestness
and deepening Of purpose has char
acterized all club work. 1t has devel.
oped spirit Of belpfulness in commun-
ity life and broader love and charity
for each other, thus showing that the
growth Of intellectual activity among
women is not mere sentimen talism,
but rather an intensely practical real
ism. We will accord to the chairmen
OF the various com nittees, the pleasure
OF telling you Of their progress. In re-
Spouse to circular letter issued to
clubs and asking for data Of club work
we find that the greatest liberality has
been shown 10 support Of public
libraries, city Improvements. lecture

Today az we stand upon the threshold,
and are about to enter the open portals
Of another club year. We cannot refrain
from taking retrospective view OF the
past. Seven new clubs have been ad.
mitted to membership OF which the
"Wild Rose club" is the youngest in the
federation.
The scenes Of one year ago come
laden with pleasant memories as We
recall the friendly greetings extended TO
the women Of Nebraska by the Chief
Executive OF our nation. And also the
bright and talented women who graced
by their presence and eloquence the
platform OF our state federation. When
we think OF the earnestness and en-.
thusiasm of Mrs. Rebecca d. Lowe and
her coteria Of faithful followers, who
are laboring increasingly to extend the
usefulness and influence OF women. we
feel like singing with the gentle Lucy
Larcom THANK God for the work He
let's w do. am glad that We live in the
world with YOU" Thus encouraged by
the cheering words and inspiring
thoughts OF these noble women and the
assurance Of your kind helpfulness we
have gathered up the threads. which
