When a daughter receives her moth.
er into her home ON a first visit there
Is a joy and pride, a gladness and salts
faction the like Of which no other ox-
perIence can call forth. The little home
may be unpretentious, the rooms may
be small the furnishings may be plain
and meager, the Kitchen may be SIM
pie, servants may be lacking, luxurles
may be wantng but all that counts for
nothing, 1t is her own home and her
mother has come 20 see her and she Is
80 Glad to have her with her, so glad
to talk with her to take her around
and show her the little establishment,
that the simplicity is forgotten by them
both I'm sheer happiness.
Before the Visit there may be a rest
lcssness, fear that all may not be as
It should, a regret that everything Is
not better, a longing for more expert
ence and greater confidence but when
the mother arrives all doubts and fears
give place to- the overlooking Outpour-
INC welcome
Dear friends, need / say that our
relation 10 each other is very much
Ike that For weeks past we here In
our little city have thought Of nothing

OF despond, and we have mounted on
pinnacles Of delight We have met In
committees ana subcommittee we
have regulated our household affairs to
suit our goings out and our comiugs In
(Which were always an hour later than
they should have been), we hay in
struCted and neglected our husbands
until they thought II best to retire to
the extreme rear aud De seated and
now we stand ready TO welcome you.
Your visit means much 10 u.s. We
are comparatively new In club work
we need TO re stirred up, we need to
have our eyes opened to our oppor-
tunities we need 90 realize the possi-
bilItes of such organizations as ours
We need 10 have our views broadencd
and our sympathies enlarged we need
perhaps TO be less literary and more
patriotic, and when ! speak OF patriot
Ism / mean the kind which looks ON
every man as a brother, which consld-
ers every homeless child Ms charge
which takes pride I'm the clean streets
and happy homes of It's city, which
feels responsibility for the affairs OF
country and state. these are the ideas
which may with your help become
practical and possible,
on the other hand we have something
10 offer you We have had a great
helper In what We have undertaken.
Nature has placed her mountains as
silent listeners, she has made the valley
good TO look upon, and she has spread
her carpet Of russell and green for your
comfort
We have no golden key to our city
TO give you. but we do give you the key
TO our homes and hearts, We are glad
you are here and we bid you welcome
