WOMEN'S CLUBS OF BUTTE AND ANACONDA.


During the coming week the different
clubs of Butte and Anaconda
will pay considerable attention to mus
r to current events to which SUBJ
lects a large amount of their time il CIV
IN during the coming season. In regard
to current events, much dependence is
placed in the summaries given in the
ieading magazines, but the most thorough
way of keeping up to date is to follow
carefully the files of the daily paper.
The space in the magazines is limited
Ind the articles summarizing the news
Of the day is at best a selection. 1t is
generally a good selection, but with the
almost care many items are omitted that
ire of special interest to the ladies.
1t IS worth mentioning that the daily
issues of the Inter Mountain contain all
the news of the day-everything that is
m any magazine in the way of news and
many things that no one periodical Will
contain. The lady Who reads her daily
paper with a view to noticing what will
be of use in her club work, will in the
long run have a great advantage over
her sister who waits til it is necessary to
obtain what is needed for the meeting
and then, with confused mind calls in the
assistance of the magazines.
The newspaper must be read s~ystenat-
Ecally. When the habit is once formed
q few minutes each day will be sufficient
TO give one a general knowledge that will
be surprising. Yet it VIII be necessary to
follow some system that will assist the
memory to retain what will be wanted
for future use. Perhaps for this purpose.
the envelope system is the best thing that
can be suggested. You read something
in the paper that you will want 10 refer
TO again. just cut out the paragraph, or
tft.cte, place II in an envelope and label
ii. Arrange the envelopes in alphabet-
zeal order and then you have contem-
pofafy history, in most compact form.
One envelope may contain many clip
pings relating to the same subject.
For the use OF those who wish to refer
to the record Of the recent past and have
not in some way kept a systematic col
lection of clippings or preserved the re-
cord of the day in some other manner. the
list of important events contained in the
appendix to the Annual Literary Index.
and the quarterly index to the numbers
Of the Great Round World, will be of SER
vice. These indexes wiz be o. special
value to TIA very small number of peo-
pie III preserve the files of their paper.
MUSIC.
The musical Fart Of the programmes of
the clubs is largely instrumental and
while this is not only more pleasing than
any literary discussion, but probably
more helpful to one who IS seeking. Gull
ture, too many people think that books
can not add to the pleasure and profit
that they may obtain from listening.
This lis a mistake. There is very little
real value, comparatively speaking, in

on our part. Until recent years there
have been but few books, and those in
ferior ones, that could he of service to
one whose ear and fingers had not al

; But now there is a goodly amount OF
literature that should be perused by any
person who wishes to appreciate most
fully the musical masterpieces, or to ap-
propriate what is best in any pieces GU

value to those who are already most full.

whether he could play on the violin, be-
cause he had never tried.
