OF all the pleasant events of the
year. none have been more enjoyable
than the reception given by the Gun
saulus c. l. 5. c. last Tuesday. at the
home of Mrs. 7. ". Bartlett in Kan
sas City. Kan. over three hundred
club women were invited, and in spite
OF the busy holiday season, the spa
cious rooms were crowded.
Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter was
the speaker of the afternoon, and de-
livered her address on king Lear in
Kansas" Her coming had been long
anticipated by the Gunsaulus club
and her lecture was most thoroughly
enjoyed. Mrs w. D. Atkinson OF Par
sons was also one of the guests Of Mrs.
Bartlett
To me the meeting was of unusual
interest, not because of its social. pleas
ure alone. but because It gave me a
chance to become better acquainted
with the club women who are to enter
tain the state federation in May, and
TO talk over plans with Mrs. d. s.
stephens, who, as president Of the as
ISOLATED clubs will be at the head Of
affairs which concern the meeting.
Mrs Stephens gave me assurance
plans already we'll formulated for our
work later on.
There are a number OF clubs not
members Of the associated clubs but all
viii share in the work and pleasure of
the meeting
This reception at Mrs. Bartlett's
home had been placed upon the Gun
sauluS program last year, without
thought OF the timeliness of the event
but had it been planned for the DUR
or no
been ordered better. And as a social
affair. the reception was complete with
its group of ladies' assisting in the par
Tors, It's bevy of pretty girls in the din
ing room, its beautiful decorations
which were in the green and white Of
the Gunsaulus colOrs-and the spirit
and presence of the gracious mistress
OF the house over all.
1t is not the first time that the presi-
dent has talked about Kipling-that has
happened whenever she could get an
unlucky wight to listen But to talk
about him in the beautiful rooms of the
Atheneum club of Kansas City, No, and
TO an audience Of women from both
states. was an event indeed
Mrs Bartlett is a member of this club
which had offered its rooms for the use
of the Chautauqua Alumni society of
both cities
Mrs W. d. Atkinson gave very
thoughtful and finished speech upon the
Ideals Of club work and the afternoon
was finished by some most excellent
music.
The Associated Clubs Of Kansas City
will hold a meeting January in the
interests OF the coming state meeting.
Chanute is to have a Chautauqua next
year. and the club women are already
planning for their department With
Mrs B. S. Justice TO help them, they
will surely have a successful one.
