The study club is perhaps the Oldest OF
all. Having spent a number Of years IN
the study of art and exhausted all the
text books then in print, they are now
making thorough Investigations into v1r1-
Gus countries, cOnEidering them geOgra-
phically, historically, politically, and ar
tistically, and also studying the domes-
tic life and customs. This season they
are studying China, with Miss Mary Nc
Cutchen as president and Mrs. Edw. Lees
as secretary and treasurer.
The Thursday club is composed almost
entirely of dignified matrons and prOm1-
nent society leaders. The members have
been working together for years in 4
quiet, conservative manner, but, contain
ing as the club does, women of brilliant
intellect and wide experience, they have
necessarily accomplished much broad
work. The club numbers fifteen and is

comprehensive programme prepared by
Mesdames Staples, MARRIED. and Hub

interested while studying the books of the
Chautauqua course, and have continued
their studies along the line of art. They
have worked together so much and SO

ly supposed that he had neglected to take
a guide along and had wandered from
the main path in the woods, getting lost
and starving to death accidentally Those
who knew Of his infatuation for Whis-

that he might perish in the woods near

An important question which is simmer
ing in the minds of Winona club women,
is that of a civic federation, or a depart
ment club. 1t seems much more difficult
to unite a number of small cot4r;ies who
are studying for personal advantage only
into one large organization with sections
than to start with a large club and di-
vide it into sections for convenience.

tanning the body of their fairest to the

Indian forms were observed and there
was weeping and waiIing for many days
after on the little Indian island.
Not great many white strangers have
found their way to the Indian island of
late years, knowing the jealous spirit
with which the tribe views it's beautiful
daughters.
Four years ago, however, an English
man, hunting in the vicinity, came upon
the spot. He was a young baronet and
his romantic temperament overcame his
caste feeling enough to let him fall deep
ly in love with Whispering Waters. He
wanted to wed her there and then and
forget all the ties which he had left be-
hind him, title, lands and aristocratic
friends. The baronet who was hand
some enough to have captured the heart
Of any white maiden, haunted the fair
Indian like a shadow.
But to all his entreaties she turned
deaf ear, for the chief Of the tribe said

Behind her death there was a romance,

Of her own color, and now it transpires
that each Of the quartette has at some
time given her affection to a white, but
the stern dictum of the tribe forbids the
marriage of it's daughters to the pale
face. It seems strange to be reading
about such things in the twentieth CEN
tury, and knowing that they occur at our
very doors.
So last Christmas Northern Light died
and the three remaining members Of the
famous quartette Of beauty who will
probably be the last of their race, bore
the body Of Nee Bana to its Last resting
place, their burying ground, deep in the
heart of the woods. The funeral cere-
monies were awful in their weird so
lemnity and hcart-piercing grief.

performed by a Catholic priest, and the
bride, in her wedding finery made one
of the pretuest pictures ever seen at an
altar. But Whispering Waters did not
smile at all during the ceremony and her
manner seemed very strange and apa-
thetic The wise women of the tribe
shook their heads and said it was an evil
omen, that whispering Waters would
not see many children or many sum-
mers. One knows how true the pre-
dictions of those aborigine seers and sees-
esses often are. In fact they seldom
fail.
Whispering Waters never bore her hlls-
band any children and there the first
prphesy came true. Soon her canoe was
deserted and the bride stayed in the
house almost continuously. The physi-
clans saw that the germs of consumption
were developing in her and told her
friends she had not long to live.

The quartette was noted far and wide
for its beauty, accomplishments and ev-
erything that goes to make up attrac-
