tho Various Bodies.
The season OF the annual opening in
Marshalltown's club life is at hand, and
lhy the end of the month nearly all of
| the important women's clubs in the city
will have begun the season of 1923.
Marshalltown is truly club center and,
compared with other cities in the state
sof its class, ranks even with all and
ahead of a great many. There are fif-
! teen clubs in the city that are we'll
| known, and affiliated with the State
Federation, to say nothing of numerous
smaller organizations, yet young, which
are still to attain the prominence of
their sisters.
The Women's Club, which is the
largest and most prominent of the nu-
merous organizations, opens it's club
| year on Sept. "a with reception, and
will continue until next spring with BIZ
weekly meetings, held each alternate
Wednesday in the clubs parlors, over
122-124 East Main street. The recep-
ton this year will probably be a much
larger affair than usual because of the
fact that the Upper Iowa conference of
the Methodist church will be in session
| In the city, and q general invitation is
| to be extended to the visiting ladies'.
Each member Of the club is privileged
| to invite one guest and admission will
be. by ticket.
