of all of the clubs of the city, but their
husbands as we'll While these social
affairs are first Of all for pleasure, they
constitute a most important part Of
club work, as they promote good fell
lOWship among clubs. The report of

friends party of sixteen. The table
was decorated with cherries and leaves,
and the significance of the holiday was
further carried out during the different

OF all the patriotic programmes that
have come to my desk, the Clio club
of Mankato, takes the prize. From the
