But the Great Master said; I see
No best In kind. but in degrees
I gave various sift to each
To charm to strengthen, and 70 teach;
These are the three great chords u might
And he whose ear is tuned Alright
VIII hear no dIscord in the three,
But the most perfect harmony"
Things in the realm OF the womens'
clubs are at concert pitch now, the
acme having been reached recently in
Mrs. w. II. Housh of the Ruskln Art
club refusing to occupy a subordinate
position in the newly created art sec
ton Of the state federation. The posi-
ton Of honor. that Of the chairman of
the state committee was bestowed on
Mrs. w. s. Bartlett by Mrs. ]. e. Cow
les the newly elected state president.
AS a matter of fact, the Ebell does
way considered in that line The Rus
kin club members, who shy at publicity
but who have been ardent students Of
art for many years, feel that they have
been slighted.
"One would think" said n prominent
was a new study in Los Angeles, from
the way we have been ignored In point
of fact we have fostered art loan ex-
hibits, studied the masters for years
and have received the benefit of the
knowledge of the great majority of our
members who have spent years abroad.
In our club rooms are to be found
many copies of originals sent us by
loving members who have not forgot
ten us in their travels"
However, overtures of peace were be-
gun when Mrs. Cowles and Mrs. Oliver
G. Bryant, president of the district fed
Grafton met the executive board of the
aggrieyed club after the meeting yes
terday morning. Nothing was accom-
plished however, and the members of
the art club still maintain that their
president cannot with dignity accept
the subordinate office which the state
president and district presidents have
urged her to grace.
CT merit and her spare time has been
devoted to not only pursuing the theory
but also the practice of art,
But these little differences will occur
of course in the best of regulated fed
erations.
Such funny thing occurred at the
theater the other evening. A group of
young women planned a girls party
with stately chaperone at either end
Of the line.
The parents of one at first demurred
but finally agreed, the principal reason
given by the pater being the utter stu
pidity of a girls party.
From front seat in the orchestra
where he was ensconced with his wife,
the father of one of the young women
sought to catch her eye, He couldn't
though, but he inadvertently caught
the eye of another young woman. FL
nally the latter's mother glowered at
him as if to say stop at once, sir; your
brazen staring at my daughter" Turn
ing to his wife, when he had discovered
the mistake, he said, For goodness
sake, dear you try and find her, that
girl up there has set her mother onto
me-"
Miss Helen Hutton was the guest of
honor at a linen shower given yester-
day by Mrs. Augusta Bradley Cloes and
the Misses Ruth and Ysabel Wolfskill
at the formers home on West First
street. Hearts was the game played
after the shower of dainty linen and
scores were kept on heart shaped cards
bearing sketches of cupids.
The house was artistically decorated
throughout, pink and green being
everywhere effectively used. In the
drawing room strings of pink hearts
and asparagus plumosus formed a pret-
ty arrangement, while the dining room
was resplendent with large pink bows
from which were suspended double pink
hearts with sprays of asparagus plu-
mosus.
