that is new. After she has been there
two or three times she has given about
all there is in her. The biennial needs
new leaven and gets it in the new wo-
men. The assembly listened quietly to
the simple words. 1t was the silence
OF understanding, and no handicap
came until Mrs. Henrotin had taken
her seat. Then the approval of the en-
tire body found exprcssion-a storm of
applause that suggested the joy of de
Hverance. This idea OF Mrs. HenrO-
tins Is most commendable, because it
is for the good of the many rather than
of the few. thus embodying a funda-

THE WEEKS REVIEW

The Lincoln WOman's club held its
regular meeting on Monday afternoon.
Following the parliamentary drill by
Mrs. Plummer, two vocal solos were
eXquisitely rendered by Miss Bessie
Turner. Miss Turner is a vocalist
whose talents go far beyond the mere
possession of rich vocal equipment.
Her voice and temperament are pecu-
liarly adapted to the Interpretation of
sweet and tender songs. I'm Wearing
AVA, JEAN" was given with a keen
perception of its vocal and poetic sides.
Words were made to mean something.
and the voice sighed and grieved
through the measured phrases until
the audience was hushed and moved
into sympathy and appreciation. An
inspiring address was then given by
Mrs. Van Vechten, treasurer of the
National Federation of WOman's clubs.
Her subject was one of intense interest
to Lincoln club women, and contained
valuable suggestions for the solution
of the domestic problem which so i'm
peratively demands attention just now.
From statements Of vague theories by
sOciolOgists, the subject of home eco
nomics is rapidly becoming persOnalized
and placed on practical. basis. From
this intelligent analysis of conditions
and causes, conclusions similar to those
of Mrs: Van Vechten have been drawn
by club women throughout the country.
Extravaganza and wastefulness are di-
rect results of ignorance, declared Mrs.
Van Vechten, and are the enemies to
home-making which should first be
avoided and counteracted. To this end
the systematic teaching of household
economics in the public schools de-
serves serious consideration. That this
idea is not a new one to members of
the Lincoln club was shown conclu-
sively by the spirited discussion which
followed the address. The other wo-
mans clubs in the city will be asked
to cooperate at the time of the next
school board election. when a change
in the public school curriculum will
doubtless be the point in contest.
Work in the different departments of
the Lincoln WOman's club is starting
with a rush. With the advantage OF
excellent leaders. unlimited enthusiasm
and an evident intention to derive pro
fiji as we'll as pleasure from the sea-
sons work. the prospects are unusually
promising. The history department heid

HOPE BAPTIST CHURCH.

This church observed it's usual annual
church day Wednesday evening, the ex-
ercises commencing with a well pre-
pared banquet served by the Ladies'
Aid society, to which some $50 did am
pie justice. At s o'clock the exercises
of the occasion began and consisted of
reports from all the departments Of the
church work., The nee gain in member
ship was twenty-one, the largest in any
year of the church's existence but one.
The finances were reported in good con-
dition, all bills paid and cash in hands
of every one of the organizations, rang
ing from 81, 500 in the building fund to
a few cents in some of the Junior soci-
cites. AS the church pays 5000 more
annual salary than in former years the
inference is clear that Hope church is
an unusually fortunate one financially.
In view Of all the circumstances it was
unanimously agreed by pastor and peo-
pie that they have good reason to thank
God and take courage.
