WORK OF the CIVIC CLUB.


nent for taste, can create Il? And To
this end every woman In the town,
whether belonging to the army of
unbelievers arrayed against any ele-
ment savoring of the new woman
Idea, or numbered among the four
thousand progressive, energetic club
women Of this great state, can exert
her influence and add her quota to-
ward the development Of those plans
born of civic pride which, though
long delayed, have finally been for
mulated-plans which tend not only
toward creating Of this town "a city
beautiful, but of elevating II in every
way, as an outward and visible sign
of our determination.
Soon our little city park, long neg
lected, will be converted into "A thing
Of beauty and an everlasting Joy 10
the surrounding merchants and pass
ers-by, who have long gazed discon-
solately on its barrenness. Gay hued
blossoms will soon rear their gaudy
heads and triumphantly claim do
minion where weeds have hitherto
held sway. Grassy plots, smooth rs
velvet, will receive the consideration
Of the moving machine. Graceful
vines will screen unsightly objects,
and the dainty fragrance of roses
red and violets blue will obliterate |
the odor of traffic.
This, however, Is only a small |
Item, mere beginning, and will be
AS nothing compared with the glory
that will be revealed unto our staunch
co-laborers and to those of weaker
faith later on.
In thus identifying our city, we
reap "A benefit untold, in the refined
feelings which dainty, clearly and
wholesome environments always
promote. by the expenditure OF a
little time aud few cents in secu-
ring and planting rapid-growiug
vines and plants unattractive places
around will be transformed, as IL by
magic, into yeritable beauty spots.
We have seen "A practical demon
stration Of the fact that In union
alone there is strength, and now that
the several organized societies have
Joined hands and are pursuing sys-
iematic plan, we are hopeful of glo-
-ious results, and our bare, bald town I
will soon blossom as the rose, and
Ter streets will be as sleek and shin
ng as the Monday morning school
10Y.
Our first efforts to secure funds
With which 10 carry out our we'll !
aid plans should receive the hearty
cooperation Of every man, woman
nd child within these precincts
Or that II is a laudable purpose can r
OF be denied-and every one is more q
less personally interested. =,
The masque party, on Monday jan

ne season, and all those who attend

Ie Iollity of the evening. Many new
atures will be introduced, hereto b
