The art gallery viii be conducted as
it was at the salina assem- bly,. where it
was declared one OF the finest attrac-
tions on the grounds, and when Mrs
Arlington Won such golden opinions
for her art talks. From Lincoln park
the gallery goes directly to Hill City,
where an exhibit will be held.
In point of attendance and in point
of natural advantages, Lincoln park
stands among the first of the states
chautauqua assemblies And no other
institution of the kind has a larger
field from which to draw.
The Domestic Science club of Man
haitian sends out an artistically simple
year book in black and white, which
reads so we'll that one wishes to visit
each meeting Of this old and ex-
perienced club. Both private and pub
lie needs are discussed with excellent
taste and discrimination. Some of the
topics, chosen at random, are here
given: An Old Fashioned Garden, :"
THE Kitchen Convenient" Sanitary
Needs of the Home" What Consti-
tutes a Good Citizen County Organ
ization." "City Government city
Ordinances" Mineral Wealth of Kan
sas," Practical Frugalities." The re-
port of the last meeting of this club for
the past year comes to me somewhat
delayed, but it is so good that I am
glad to give it space here.
The last meeting of the D. S. C., for
the year 1905-1906 was held at Library
hall on Thursday afternoon, June T.
The calendar program was an impossi-
bility at this date but the new arrange
ment by President Greeley made the af-
ternoon memorable as one of the most
pleasant Of the year. The hall never
looked prettier. The daisy decorations
were in exquisite taste The restful
put everyone in the best humor posi-
BILE The intense heat and dust of the
outdoor world was forgotten while the

tured three typical Russian homes, con-

for that reason.
Following Mrs Atkinson, President
Greeley gave q brief summary OF the
years work She then introduced the
new officers and in a neat little speech
she presented the gavel to Mrs. Allie
