1--WE meet today to greet our club
sisters, the Portia from the east and
the Philomaths from the west, to ex
change those currents of personal
magnetism which we throw of in
coming in contact with each other.
The unseen forces are perhaps the
strongest forces in club life.
''In mingAng with each other for
consciously float into the thoughts
which emanate from the minds of our
co-workers. These vibrations slowly
but surely broaden the Intellectual
capacity many fold. The result Of
these quiet forces set in motion is
more apparent when we come il con-
sact with our less fortunate sisters
who are tied down to the old-fashion-
ed "woman's Sphere" and are con-
versant only with the neighborhood
gossip.
"Mindful of the pleasure and help
fulness of social intercourse, We ex-
tend to our visiting club women a
sincere and hearty welcome.
