that club women seek to SO understand
the science OF the home that theirs shall
be ideal homes, where the strife OF the
world is without and a wealth of love
within, where the gracious manners OF
the mistress shall bring 70 all who come
within the home a message Of comfort
and good cheer. The talks for the af-
tsrnooI, The Relation Of the Club Wo-
man to Household Economics" The
Poverty of Housekeeping ""Harmony at
the Hearth" brought out many excel
lent ideas and showed that home inter
ests are very dear to the hearts of club
women.
DIR. Warren Perry was expected to
epsak to the club on Foods, Their
Chemical Significance and Values but
was. on account OF business, unable to
be present. The club hopes the pleas
ure of bearing him soon.
Fairbury was very gay during the hol-
idays. The university students came
home, and to help in the merry making.
all brought friends with them. some
bringing two and three. So there was
fun and frolic for every day and night.
The North Bend woman's club kept
open house on New Year, and their
headquarters resounded with greetings
for the new year. their friends re-
sponded IN large numbers TO their invi-
tarions. The rooms presented pretty
appearance, with their graceful decora.
tions Of yellow and white. the club col
ors. As the guests came from the re-
ception room, they wore bit OF holly, to
which was attached an incomplete SEN
timent. The finding OF the minus part
on one of the opposite sex gave them a
passport into the dining room. where a
prettily decorated and we'll filled table
awaited them. The ladies served coffee,
while the guests served jests. In the
auditorium there was mirth and music.
Piano solos, quartet by our young
ladies, and Mr.. Bowling kindly gave a
few selections on gIaphophone. In
one corner of the room under our beau :
tiful motto was a massive punch bowl
in bed of holly, from which two young
members served delicious fruit punch.
1t is an open question whether it was
the re. reshing beverage or the fair aud
graceful bu is who presided that caused
the crowd to linger. Judge Strong de
Iivered an able address, in which he paid
high tribute to the ladies Of the present
day. assuring them they were on the
right track. with their work well IN
hand, and bid them Godspeed. As the
guests departed the club women re-
ceived many assurances Of theirsuccess

Longfellow. in bis charming descrip-
ton OF Hiawatha's childhood, has given
vivid picture Of childhood's spirit Of
inquiry:
AT the door one summer evening
Sat the little Hiawatha;
Saw the moon rise from the water,
Ripping, rising from the water,
Saw the flecks and shadows on it."
This will captivate any child, and
little story may be woven from the
"noon and shadow" A little further
on 10 the poem an appeal is made to the
love OF flowers, which all children pos
sesa, and child may be led on through
this love to delightful knowledge Of
flowers. Then read him Bryant's
"Fringed Gentian," Whittier's "FIowers
in Winter" The names OF plants may
be learned, the different woods, The
shape of the leaves and thousand other
captivating things-all unconsciously

Some one says, "Can this be accomp-
lisheds" Yes, by mothers who think
more of child life and development than
OF minor matters. But what OF the
mothers whose time is too full OF
work? This may be managed by each
one becoming interested in his own and
his neighbours children, as the walls
of Jerusalem were restored by every
man building over against his OWE

A child lives almost wholly in the i'm
agination and the mother and teacher
may do much to direct it. As the
Greeks lived almost wholly in the imag-
ination, give the children tales fron
Greek mythology.
Good stories make children more
noble minded; they beget love for
truth and pride of the right sort. Biog-

fiction, as it furnishes possible ideals.
