garden and lawn which surround 1t. are
uncommonly attractive, all the country
about Granville is beautiful at this
season and the excursion was par
ticularly delightful ending to the clubs
successful season. This was the last
meeting. and the new year books. at
tractively gotten up in the club color,
sunshine yellow, were given out. Next
years work will follow along the lines
of this seasons study of modern COM
posers. The picnic luncheon was
served on the lovely lawn on the bank
of the little stream which bounds the
place on the east and gives it its
name, and afterwards there was an
iimpromptu program of which the piano
solo of Miss Esther Kleinhans, the IA

intelligence and her performance elici-
ted much praise. Mrs. Parkhurst sang,
and there were piano numbers by Mrs.
Charles Kleinhans. Mrs. Gleed, Mrs
Clark, Mrs. Dickie. and Miss Harrison.
IF you want to realize how silly the
gossip with which you concern your
self is, go to Lawrence or Leavenworth
or Atchison or Emporia or Wichita and
listen to the Talk there. When you get
a proper perspective, how trivial. petty,
unimportant, dull and tiresome the tat
ling and gable of the village becomes.
