tees are already at work.
The Century club will meet as usual
this year in the Sunday school room
of the DAYTON Avenue Presbyterian
church, under the presidency OF MISS
Lilly Long, one of the youngest preSl-
dents that the club has ever had. Inc
club has issued its year book ana pro-
gramme, which is miscellaneous as
usual and gives place to one or TWO
we'll known masculine speakers, OF
whom the club has several each year.
The club meets every Wednesday from
october until May and after the bus1-
ness and serious part of the programme
the members drink tea and discuss the
current affairs of the day. Inc MEM
bership embraces the best known wom-
en- in the social and literary circles OIL

The Thursday club occupies among
the younger women the same position
as the Century club holds among those
a little older. The president is MISS

every two weeks beginning Oct. 23
this wear. at the Aberdeen. 1t has al
WAYS been strictly literary club and
during the eight years of it's existence
has reviewed the literature OF the
nineteenth century in a series OF most
interesting programmes under the dl-
rection of Mrs. @. l.. Backus, whose
name in literary and educational mat
ters is one to conjure with. This year
the Thursday club has gone somewhat
out CT the beaten path and is combln-
ing study of sociological methods with
consideration of some recent essaylsts
and poets, Some of the members OF
the club are much interested IN MOD
ern philanthropic methods, which in
this day have become a practlcal SCI
ence.
The Daughters of the American Rev
olution are making plans for the winter
and several committee meetings have
been held, while the Nathan Hale
chapter has already had its first regu-
lar meeting of the year. The DistaH

The state meeting of the D. A. r.
will be held in Minneapolis this year,
and probably on the 18th Of October,
although arrangements for the affair
are not entirely completed. This meet
ing is held each year to bring the
Daughters of the state together and to
discuss matters of mutual interest so
as to settle the questions that come up
in the national congress of the d. A. r.,
which meets in Washington in Febru-
airy. Mrs. Franklin Rising, of Winona,
state regent, will preside at the meet
ing and Miss Sue Willes, of st. Paul,

much coveted and an appointment
made each year by the state regent.
There is some prospect of having the
president general, Mrs. Charles w.
Fairbanks, wife of Senator Fairbanks,
here for the meeting, which the Daugh-
tiers all over the state are hoping will
be realized, as her presence would be
an inspiration and turn the meeting
into quite the most important affair
of the season. Mrs. Fairbanks is
personal friend of Mrs Liggett, of st.
Anthony Park, who is the state vice
regent and we'll versed in all matters
pertaining to the good of the society.
The chrysanthemum show, which the
ladies of the Manufacturers auxiliary
propose to give in November, is to be
an imposing affair and florists and hor-
ticulturists are taking great interest in
1t, not only locally, but in Mime apolis
and In the state at large. Money prizes
will be given for the best exhibits and
no trouble will be spared to make it a
success. Among the interesting exhib-
its will be DR.. Schiffmann's collection Of
orchids, which he has kindly put at the
disposal of the auxiliary and which are
famous all over the country. The
: show will be held at the Arnory on
Nov. 10, II, II, and the craftsmanship
of Mrs. H. F. Stevens is sufficient
guarantee of it's success. Mrs. Maurice
Auerbach is president of the auxiliary
and the membership comprises a long
list Of we'll known women.
