At the Ladies Literary club Friday
Mrs. Elmer b. Jones gave a splendidly
prepared paper reviewing the new book
by Ellen NJ. Glasgow, The Deliver
ance." which is said TO be one of the
really thoughtful books Of the present
time. Mrs. Jones began her subject
With brief talk on the kind Of fiction
appealing to humanity at various
stages in life, and showed that the nc
ton which appeals 10 men and women
Of today mus oe strong and intensive
IN feeling. and must deal with the real
questions OF Human lire. With careful
logical study she followed the story OF
'-rhe Deliverance" Till she showed how
love, deep and true, was the one regen-
orator and re-establisher Of character.
Mrs. Jones illustrated the style of the
writer with a few chosen passages from
the book. but in the main the paper was
completely original thought. and was
without question one OF the finest topics
presented before the club during the
present year.
Mrs. ClessOn ;. Kinney followed with
q brief and interesting talk on fedora
ton matters. The committees in the
State Federation have been made TO
conform to the same lines as those in
the general federation, and although the
same general lines of work as hereto
fore will be followed, some new lines
are to be established. The committees
are on education, art, travelling hbra-
ries. reciprocity. club extension, free
savings banks in the public schools,
forestry and legislation The last-
named committee is yet to be appointed,
and will consist of one from each or
the other committees. Most encouraS-
! ing. reports were given of the success OF
the various lines of work and the plans
for better work The travelling library
committee has now thirty-two cases OF
books i'm the field, the schools of Park
| CITY have already established the free
savings bank system Tor their boys ana
girls. the forestry committee mas ar
, ranged for each school desiring II to nave
trees and shrubs presented 70 mem ,l,t LOT
planting on Arbor day, ana as holeu
| elsewhere. the art committee mas
! portfolio in use already.
Al the next meeting of the club the
best original stories viii be read after
: having been judged by n committee
consisting of Mrs. ]. NJ. Dart MIS-
/ John Cain and Mrs. w. Z. WlshInnah.
-
Mrs. Charles Wells OF the Cleofan IS
the newly appointed chairman OF the
art committee of the state federation.
Mrs. Wells is admirably suited 10 'h1
Craftsmanship of such committee, anu
; ii is particularly appropriate that the
Craftsmanship should go 10 the CieoIah'
a club which has made the study OF arr
/ one OF its specialties since its establish
ment. The work planned by Mrs. A. g
/ Ewing during her term Of office VIII De
icarried out along the same lines, ana
as the art committee finds already one
portfolio in the field, doubtless TINS VIII
be an incentive to more successful et-
forts. The portfolio is now in the hands
/ of Mrs l.. L. Corfman OF the Nnle-
/ teenth Century club of Provo, and IS
fbeing made use Of by the clubs ana
! schools.
1t was very gratifying 10 the mem
( bers Of the Ladies' Literary CLUB 10
flearn that the paper by Mrs John cam
ON American Humorists" had been re
quested by the reciprocity bureau OF
me G. F. W. G. for clubs in NlScOn-
sin and in Minnesota. The work done
kby the reciprocity bureaus of both TIE
state and the general decorations is OF
lincalculable benefit in bringing into
closer touch the various clubs through
/ out the country. The list sent out by
hldTs- A. W Putnam as chairman or the
Estate committee is most interesting, and
lthe exchange Of papers so far has been
