A reception which the Goodland Re
public characterizes as one of the most
elaborate social functions in. the an
mails of society in that town. was given
by the Athena club on New Years
day. Over one hundred enjoyed the
hospitality of this club. at the spacious
home of Mrs. C. NJ. Millisack. have
talked more than little of this club,
since its organization in the fall, and
it is proving worthy of the pride have
felt in it since its organization.
January has been a Sixth district
month with me, but I cannot leave the
subject until I have talked a little
about the work that some of these
clubs are doing in an intellectual way.
The Tourist club of Wakeeney has
been organized several years, and, in
accordance with it's name. is travelling
this year, using "Stoddard's Lectures
as guide books, in Scotland, England,
Spain, Greece, London, Gibraltar,
Malta Athens Rome Naples, Florence
and Venice. Each have one or more
programmes, which are pleasingly di-
versif1ed with map studies, biography, |
art, history and literature. President, |
Mrs. ]. c. Everett; vice president, Mrs :
w. G. Baker; secretary, Miss Alma i,
Knudson; treasurer, Mrs. L. c. Nudge. |
The membership is 5.
The Locust club of Wakeeney. or |
ganized last September, with fifteen |
members, is another live, progressive |
organization. 1t was formed by Mrs.
F ToOthaker, who is its president. The |
others officers are Mrs. H. S. Givler, |
vice president; Mrs. 1. T. Purcell, sec |
rotary; Mrs. A. H. Blair. treasurer; |
Mrs. c. D. Smith, historian.
The first calendar published by this |
club sets a high standard for future
years. It is bound in SOFT dull green, |
tied in yellow. and decorated with the |
club flower. the yellow chrysanthe- |
mum-and sprays of locust leaves, |
deity painted across the cover.
The book contains the club collect, |
which is not only read at each meet |
ing, but the members are expected to |
repeat it from memory.
American literature is the study of |
the year, and the programme contains |
as fine miscellaneous study of the |
subject as one could find in a years |
journey In clubdom.
The Mutual Improvement club of |
Ellis is another club which makes con-
slant use of the collect" and also an
