The age of the Monday Literary Club is
about the same as that of the Culture Club.
IL was organized in 1896 at the home OF
Mrs. Ella Winans, the charter members be-
ing number of cOngenial people who be-
ieYed that an organization by which the
members would be brought in closer rela-
tionship with each other would be mutually
advantageous, and so II has proved. While
the Monday Club has always given a great
deal of attention TO such subjects as are
usually considered important by such or
ganizatiOns, it has not forgotten the social
side OF life and in this manner it probably
has done more than any other club in the
city. Social affairs where the husbands
and men friends were made welcome have
been frequent, and are happy memories in
the history Of the organization. The motto
of the club is much TO the point. 1t is from
LdVater and says: "SedulOusly attend,
pointedly ask, calmly speak, coolly answer
and close when you have no more TO say"
The carnation is the flower of the club and
gold is its color. For some time the Mon
day Club was member of the Indiana
Federation of Womens Clubs, but for sew
eral valid reasons the connection with the
federation was severed. The officers of the
club are: President, Mrs. Anna Ong: first
vice president, Mrs Vida Hughes; second
vice president, Mrs Ruth Glanton; secre-
tary, Mrs. Ella Winans; corresponding sec
rotary, Mrs. Nettie Mccullough, and treas
