The Daniel Boone cabin presented
q most attractive appearance Satur
day afternoon, when the Woman's
club held a reception in honor of Mrs.
l.. G. Kress of Dillon. The ceiling
and walls were artistically d:ancL
With fishnct intertwined with bunting.
In the large fireplace was a great
glowing fire of logs. The hardwood
floor was spread with Navajo and
other handsome rugs. Easy chairs
were costly grouped together. In diff.
ferent parts of the cabin we're to be
e many rare and beautiful Indian
c%urios, including a variety of exquis.
itely woven baskets. There was also
a choice collection of ancient Mexican
pottery, together with other inter.
esting relics from the buried cities
Of that country. Those who attend
the reception were much charmed
with Mrs. Kress, who is possessed of
an attractive personality and is a
bright and animated conversational
list. Light refreshments were serv-
ed. The members of the committee
who were in charge of the entertain
ment were Mrs. Paul Mccormick,
Mrs. S. G.. Sherman, Mrs. M. A.
Arnold and Mrs. H. E. Armstrong.
A very interesting program con
sisting of a series of papers, was rem
dered Monday evening at the first reg
ular meeting of the Fortnightly Lit
erary club. It al held in the audi
forum of. the %northside high school
building. Mr.. c. S. Brother presided.
After the regular business was COM
pleted a delightful paper on the blind
poet, Milton, vas read by Miss
Straub. IL the study of cities, which
followed and which the club will con
tinue throughout the season, Miss
Linean read an excellent paper on
"The History of New York. Mr..
Mcleod told in a n interesting man
ner of "The Government of New York.
and compared it with that of other
large cities. Mrs. o. F.Goddard ex-
planned the Venezuelan difficulty in
such a way as to give a good many
people who were present a much clear
err understanding of the trouble than
they had before. Miss Lusk delivered
a carefully prepared paper on 1.-The
Emancipation of Ireland" which was
listened to with much interest. Mr..
Bannister's paper on wireless Tele-
graphy," was much enjoyed. In flu
ture life and variety will be added to
the meetings by the discussions which
will be held in which several select
ed members will participate on each
occasion. During the short business
session which followed several new
names were added to the roll. There
are now between GO and 20 members
in the club.
Miss Maude Segur was the hostess
at a delightful valentine party last
Saturday evening. A rosy tint pre-
vailed in the decorations. Strings of
red hearts, mixed with gold ones
were suspended about the rooms.
From the chandelier in the parlor
was hung a great gold heart and in
the dining room a large red one. Each
boy had been requested to bring a
valentine with him and to write his
name on it. The girls drew the val
entines and thus found their partners.
The score cards were prettily decorat-
ed with crimson hearts, done in water
colors. The game played was hearts,
At it's close Miss Edna Williams, who
was found to have been most fortunate
in getting rid of her hearts, received
a box of candy, while Master Ned
Townsend, who was least successful

ing of lobster salad. olives, pickles,
crackers, cake, ice cream and cocoa,
