One Of the most delightful OF the
many pleasant affairs of the year was
an afternoon tea given at COuncll
Grove last Saturday by Mesdames Ap-
Ington, Ra ker,l s.Anrine, LeaIherWQOu
and Whiting, with the state president,
Mrs. Atkinson, recording secretary, and
Mrs. Ray, of Delevan, as guests OF
honor.
The invitation was unique little
folder in the shape Of a teapot The
favors were in the shape of tiny tea
cups, with dainty hand painted designs
The reception was held in Security
hall. which had been beautifully dec
Grated for the occasion. The windows
were darkened and the room brilliant
~ lighted. The hostesses and guests

the door, refreshments were served by
a number of the towns pretty girls

no one from Goodland attended the
district meeting at Philipsburg, on ac-
count of the very heavy storm here,
we are all very much pleased with the
choice for president. We have not

thing worth while"
Small danger that a club which
starts out in such spirit will fail to
do something worth Yhilei
It has been the history of district
federation that each meeting results in
something good for the town which
acts as hostess. One of the best
things that could happen. as the result
