only merit. We have been in attend
ance at this club number OF times,
and only kind words and sweet fel-
lowships ever fell from the lips OF
these estimable young ladies and they
ALWAYS responded cheerfully when
called u"on to help the needy.
The o. d. I. Club too comes in
for its share OF special r<ntion. The
very name Our Day Together, sig
nifics that there is a love OF fellow
ship. kindly feeling existing in that
neighborhood which can only be sat
isticd by the weekly meet and inter
change of ideas and general helpful
ness to one another which broadens
he minds of our sex.
As a representative OF the Sans
Souci Club | feel in duty bound and
in justice to the club, to give a bricf
synopsis OF the clubs history and its
growth in work and members during
the FIVE years OF its existence. Five
years ago this was magazine club
with a membership OF four. These
ladies' found the club SO pleasant and
profitable, that they wanted to share
their joys with others, consequently
two more members were added to
this seemingly exclusive society and
a, there was no limit to the number
the first two years one after another
Dccamc members until the list was
swcllcd to twelve. In the meantime
q, RATED our constitution and by
laws. took up heavier literary work.
II on metropolitan airs and had
our year books published. and began
to feel quite clubifcd. Took for our
motto: He who does not advance
goes back" and we feel safe in say
L..
sion in the Sans Souci Club. IL has
steadily and srucly advanced. Aside
from our literary work. the club took
up the work of charity. feeling that
only ourselves and immediate fami-
lies were being benefited by our
study. and as the chief purpose of
club composed of women should
mean hclptulncss to all mankind and
the bcttcrmcnt OF the world ut large.
To this end we have worked faith
fully and pcrsistently, and are salts
fed with the results and amply re
paid for the efforts set forth. The
third year OF our club life the limit
was raised to first, the fourth to TWEEN
ticth and this-thc fifth year OF our
cxistencc-wc boast a membership OF
twenty five 1t has been said that
our name is a misnomcr. That
does this club can not be free and
easy. Ii is no misnomer. Our work
is pleasure and the sweet peace. the
keen JOY i'll truth the rest which fol
lows the contributing to the wants
OF our icllowman, mentally. morally
and physically is the rest that Is en-
during aud which nothing surpasscs.
And Til, solves the problem OF why
the SaIs Soucis are always so free
and easy.
OF the w. c. +. U. and its great
work we can not give adequate cx-
preston. 1t is band OF faithful
workers for the uplifting OF all man
kind. Need we say more:
Lastly. but not least by any means
is the Women's Club OF Rocky Ford.
Ii seems supcriluouS to say anything
about 4 club so widely and fayorably
known as is the Woman's Club all
over the state. Aside from its lit
crary standpoint. the chief purpose
OF this club Is the broadening OF the
individual mind and the progression
OF the race. This forms the warp
and wool OF its fabric. That the
Womcns Club has done a great work
we all know. it has broadcncd the
minds OF the sex and given many
women larger ideals OF life than mere
social pleasures and prominence. Ii
has led to a better understanding OF
woman by woman. Added to this the
women have been focused power
for the accomplishment OF work by
women for unusual good.
The Womcns Clubs maiden effort
toward universal good was the plac-
