The Daily Ardmoreite. [volume] (Ardmore, Okla.) 1893-current, 1903-03-30

The Ladies of the Lear cub gave
an informal. very pleasant and hope
profitable reception at the Nome OF
Mrs. T. Y. Morgan, Thursday. their
object being to increase the public
scnool library fund. this being their
special work this year In spite OF the
threatening weather. | noticed the
house was comfortably full at 4
O'Clock in the afternoon and guests
still arriving
Refreshments Of the usual kind
and quantity. but Of most excellent
quality we're served by these hosplta-
bic and earnest ladies'. During the
short half hour | was present. two
were given. one an instrumental duet.
"Liszts Second Rhapsody" played
by Mrs. Wall and Mrs. Mccoy, with
their usual grace and elegance.
Another very sweet and entertain
ing selection was tha "Teakettle
Song" by Mrs. westheimer. sung
with that pathetic sweetness which
belongs so peculiarly to that home-like
song. Mrs. Westheimer's rich con.
tralto voice Is well adapted to such
music and those who heard her but
could turn back to muse on other
years when childhood's teakettle sim
mered over the Goals of another
hearth
The dining room was draped in pale
green and white the club colors. and
on the tables and mantle were large
bouquets OF the shininggreen leaves
and pure white blossoms Of the early
pear tree, one of the first harbingers
Of spring.
The hostess was gracious and
graceful. as she always is when en-
tertaining at home, and her hospitable
house wore it's every day air of home
ness and welcome.
II | remember rightly, this is the
next to the Oldest club ever organized
in Ardmore, having been organized
six or seven years ago by Mrs. Maggie
Barry and taught exclusively by heI
for several years, during which time
the literary movement of ArdmorC
was given an impulse which has
gone steadily on to the present time
Since Mrs. Barry left Ardmore Il
has been an independent club, hav
ing Joined the Federation Of clubs o.
the Indian Territory in the first yeal
OF its work, electing officers and lead
ers and preparing an elaborate and in
structiye program each year in Ard
more.
The year book" for each tern
speaks for itself. Having been {
member of this club for two years
know whereof | speak when | tel
the public it has done some gooC
work during the three years OF IL
existence, and am sure is preparing
itself for better work in the future
Every member of the club seems t,
realize that each woman's work count
and that each woman is responsible
for a rightly done share of work; in
deed, work and responsibility go tC
gether, and where from any caus
we leave responsibility out of ou
work we rob labor of its dignity an
lose its true meaning and reward
Then the object of Thursdays recel
tion is a good one; it is always a goo
sign to see an organization of an
kind working toward a purpose /
every walk in life. To succeed at a
. we must keep some definite object
+, view
The work of tomorrow must be
IS line with that Of today, otherwise W
I. start in many directions but get n
v where.
n am sure the people of Ardmol
will be glad to see the Ladies' of II
Leaf succeed in their very commen
ID able endeavor to raise the necessaI
Il. funds for a public school library
is step in the right direction.
