Prominent club women and noted

two days devoted to study of the

WHITTIER MOTHERS CIRCLE.

A very pleasing program was rem
dered consisting of singing by Miss
Bryan's pupils and stories told by
two little children from the second
grade, followed by an address by Mrs.
Perky on the Juvenile court law. Mrs.
Ira Barber very capably reviewed the
last three chapters of the book,
Character Building" which had
been the lesson at the two reading

clubs and their correspondents. Each
separate club is one of big state
family and what concerns one should
be of interest to the others, there is
much routine matter of fact work

SUGGESTIVE ROLL CALL.

At a recent session of the Golden
Rod Club of Boise, roll call was
answered by naming the newly elect
led state and county officers, which
is a good precedent for other clubs
to follow. The study hour of this
club was devoted to a part of the
state constitution. They also had
"a Thanksgiving conversation.

FROM KINGSTON, N. Y.

The meeting of the Monday club,
held at the residence of Mrs. A. V. v.
Kenyon on Fair street, this week was
little out of the ordinary in its inl
teresting features. Aside from the
regular program for the day, Mrs.
Harry Macmillan of the Lowell club,
who attended the State Federation of
Clubs recently at Utica, as dele
gate from this city, gave her report
of the proceedings of the federation.
Among all the interesting subjects
brought before the women at that
gathering, were the following The
industrial education of children in
the schools; civil service reform as
viewed from the Pennsylvania stand
point; International Peace; Suffrage
for Women; the Child Labor Law,
to be considered as a national move
ment; Good music as an educational
force in life, and an earnest plea for
the recognition of the rights of SOLO
lists to demand remuneration for
services, which are indeed services of
an uplifting character, but which are
usually expected as donation. Other
live questions of the day were con-
sidered, but the above mentioned
topics seemed to create the most in
terest. Mrs. Macmillan said that
each woman that spoke or read pa
per did so, as though her own sub
ject was of vital interest, which add
ed an unusual amount of enthusiasm
to the entire affair. Following the re-
port by the guest from the Lowell
club, Mrs. Kenyon read her paper on
woman in Civic Life" and the
same was discussed by the educa-
tional committee. Next week the
cub will meet with Mrs. William
Lawton at her home on Crown
street.

ABOUT THE PORTIA CLUB.


A neat little purple and white year
book from the Portia Club of Payette
came last week. They were organ
lied in 1898. Miss Shamberger is
president this year. Among their ac
tive committees we note village i'm
|provement, arts and crafts and edu-
|cational. AS the arts and crafts
work in the first district seems
rather difficult and impractical,
Echoes is somewhat curious to know
how clubs in other districts are
dealing with 1t and what progress
they have made. The first district
committee made strong effort last
Iyear to create an interest but met
with feeble response, which was par
italy due to lack of knowledge to
work on practical lines in Idaho.
Our condition here Is so different to
states farther east or in the cities, it
seems difficult to introduce work of
this nature.
The Portia club has 81 members, a
regular order of business with mis-
|cellaneous business and literary
program. Members respond to roll
call with an item of interest or a
current event. Their calendar for
the year is excellent, covers a much
needed work in any state where suf-
rage exists, for women, to be intelli-
gent voters must know their state and
its government. This club began
early in the year to study Idaho as
territory. They will study the "capi-
tails and capitols of Idaho" will
glance at its governors, its Indians
and the wars with them, its pioneers

COLUMBIAN CLUB NOTES.
The Columbian club met in regular
business session yesterday afternoon
at $3.50 o'clock, Mrs. Roam presiding.
Reports of committees and depart
'ments proved the various lines Of
study, Of civic work and of social di-
version, to be In very satisfactory
condition.
Mrs. Nichols Of the Good Citizen
ship club was'heard with interest re-
garding the work Of that progressive
body.
During the session motion made
by Mrs. J. G. Green of the educa-
|tional department that the Columbian
CLUB tender reception to the State
Teachers association through the en-
and educational depart
ments met with the hearty indorse-
ment of the club. The matter is now
in the hands of these two COMMITTEES,
and that the event will be success
| Is assured as the two chairmen, Mrs.
F. e. Wilson Of the educational and
Mrs. G. e. Shriver of the entertain
ment committees, are very enthusiasts
tic in their desire to welcome the edu-
Gators and make the evening one of
genuine pleasure to the guests of the
club.
The membership committee report
ed IA new members.
The art and travel committee meets
next Wednesday morning at 1880 in

ton meeting will be read before the
club during the meeting preceding
the session of the legislature.
The dramatic department will
meet Monday afternoon at o'clock
in Carnegie hall.
The music department meets in the
same place on Tuesday at $3.50
O'Clock in the afternoon.
The monthly musical of the club
was held Tuesday evening and every
number rendered was such as would
delight musician.
The class of music placed before
the public by the music department IS
of the highest order and as the sea-
son advances will surely attract
many Boise music lovers
Attention was called by the chair
man of the press committee to the
presence of Echoes, the state official
organ, on the reading table and to its
resume of club doings throughout the
state.
The German conversation class en-
joyed Goethe and Schiller afternoon
with Mrs. Il. Johnson in her rooms in
the Yeoman flats last Wednesday.
One of the features of the afternoon
was the singing of Goethe's "Das
erste Veilchen,' set to MoZart's music
by Mrs. Alvina Heuer- Wilson.
The next meeting will be with Mrs.
Beggs.

interest you. We hope that we have
but If we cannot do something to in
terest you, you can do much to uplift
us. Professor Brice in the best
critique that has ever been written
on the United States and the Ameri-
can commonwealth, says that this is
a government not of the people, but
government of public opinion. be-
lieve that that statement is exactly
true, and wehther in one state or an
other you have the privilege of vot-
ing or not, women can create public
opinion as strongly II not more
strongly than the sterner sex. 1t
is in your hands-you must deter
mine whether the yellow journal or
the decent paper is the one that is
laid on the center table in the even
ing. You can determine whether the
novel of degeneracy, or that of sound
literature, is the one that is placed on
the book shelves. You can do your
share to see to 1t that these miserable
dramas of the degenerate are not al
lowed to displace the wholesome, de-
cent comedies and tragedies that be-
long to legitimate literature.
There is beautiful old story,
which you no doubt remember, told
by Dante in the allegory that you
know as Paradise, how when his
steps led through the Internal region,
and even through Purgatory, he was
disguised as man, but when he was
Translated to the upper heights, his
hands lay in those of the one woman,
his loftiest ideal, and as he rose from
height to height, and finally attained
the seventh Heaven, he only became
conscious of the fact that he had at
tanned the seventh Heaven, not by his
grosser masculine senses, but by the
beacon which beamed from the face
of Beatrice. AS it was in the old
allegory, so is it, l take, in the life
of all of us. No matter how we may
be covered with the dust and sweat
of public life, in the public arena,
the truest inspiration comes to us in
the word of suggestion, word of high
thought, and above all, of the en-
couragement, whether she be a. moth
err, sister, sweetheart, or wife, that
beams from the face of some good
woman; and so you have your share,
as well as ours, in the upbuilding of
the American Republic. AS it was
in the beginning of the colonies, as it
was in the stress of the Civil war, as
it is today, as ! ask you to act as
American women have always acted
in time of need or trouble, in time of
peace or war, as a helpful adjunct,
and an inspiration to the sterner sex
for the common cause of American
citizenship, for the uplifting of
American ideals, for the affording of
an equal opportunity and destruc-
ton of class privilege, an equality of
chance to all men under the sun, for
the upjlift of our common humanity,
the day may be even more truly
'dawning than in that time of which
Emerson wrote.

The Hon. George A. Hubbard, Mayor
of Boston.
CAT the Biennial.)
Madam President and Ladies': 1t
is my pleasure, as mayor, to welcome
you here tonight, and it is also my
equally proud pleasure to welcome
his excellency here in perfect health
again. 1t is also my proud pleasure,
for l am New England boy, a
Boston boy, to stand on the same
platform with that grand woman,
Julia Ward Howe.
This afternoon at the closing ex-
ercises of one of our schools was
greatly impressed with the motto of
the graduation class: "To think the
truth, to speak the truth, to act the
truth" and that is what l believe you
women stand for.
Now, cannot extend to you the
keys of my city. Why should L?
Boston's gates are never locked, they
are always open, and | hope when
you leave here you will feel that you
are leaving the most beautiful city in
the world, for we believe it tobe so.
We have the most beautiful park sys-
TEN, the most beautiful harbor front;
here it was that the first town meet
ing was started, the first public
library established; we have the
most beautiful school system in the
world,-in fact we are the most
beautiful people in the world. l am
reminded Of a story, in closing, a
story of the New York man who fell
from a HISTORY building. AS he
passed the fourth floor, he said, II
am all right so far" We have our
little troubles, but they are purely in
ternal.
We are glad to welcome you and
we hope that when you leave here
you will wish us Godspeed, and so
Boston's mayor welcomes you one
and all tonight.

FROM MOUNTAIN HOME.


Echoes receives personal letters
from club women sometimes that
contain so much good news done up
in little sentences and paragraphs,
we cannot keep it, though often no
thought of publication was enter
tanned by the writer. Mrs. L. b.
Green answered a letter of inquiry
we sent her and incidentally said at
the close, 1.-THE press correspondent
of the Sub Rosa will soon send in
some club notes." Mrs. Green is
president of this club. Again she
says 'In the Artemisia club each
member is earning dollar and turn
ing 1t into the club treasury. BY
this means, with cooked food sale
and private donations, the club has
raised $50 with which to install a
sanitary drinking fountain in the new
public school building, Then this
club expects to earn enough money
by the first of the year to enable the
school board to fit up room for
manual training in a modest way, the
facilities to be improved as fast as
possible. This club has splendid
record for work in the past and all
the indications are that it will keep
up to the mark this year."

BIENNIAL REPORT.

We are in receipt of number of
copies of the biennial report, but have
received no instructions how to dis
tribute them. 1t is large book,
about six by eight and one half
inches, containing four hundred and
forty-eight pages Of the very best
club matter. 1t would be impossible
to give even concise review Of the
work in one article, fact with which
you will readily agree when we tell
you there are 40 addresses on special
subjects, besides the business of the
convention, reports of committees,
officers and miscellaneous. We
would like each club federated with
either the district or state or both, to
know the contents of this biennial
and to this end shall use portion OF
it each week as we find space to spare
for the purpose. In the meantime
Echoes will be glad to answer any in
Quiry about the general federation.
Should it prove beyond our knowl-
edge we will secure the information
and publish it. We all need more in
formation about federation IN gen.
eral way. We are too prone to con-
slider our own little horizon only and
forget we are part of the big gen.
eral federation that extends it's arms
to China, Japan, the Canal zone, Mex
leo, Italy and Hawaii.
