The home OF Mr.. and Mrs. v. w.

Ing for a reception given by the

There was a musical and literary
program and quite elaborate refresh
ments were served. Over seventy
Ave people were present at the func-
tlon. The guests were received by
the officers Of the club, consisting of
Mrs. r. b. Mcfarland, president;
Mrs. H. c. Shaver, first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. ]. NJ. Elder, second vice
president: Mrs. A. A. Campbell,
treasurer; Mrs. Ida s. Miner. sec
rotary; and Mrs. X. a. Parker, cor
responding secretary. Mrs. McFar-
land presided while the program was
being rendered. Mrs. Elder gave
an explanation OF the object of the
scholarship loan fund. She said in
substance that It is a fund raised
through the efforts of the women's
clubs of the state for the purpose
OF helping deserving students to COM
plete their university course and OBJ
tain their degree. Many students
who are working their way through
the university find the expenses of
the senior year heavier than they
can bear and would be compelled to
drop out but for the assistance they
receive from this fund. Loans are
made to such students as the uni
yersity authorities recommend, with
o interest. This fund has been
added to until 1t now reaches the
sum OF 1900. and the clubs of the
state are making an effort this year
to raise =. to $500.
Following Mrs. Elders explana-
ton, the overture from Martha. ar
ranged for four hands, was rendered
on the piano by Misses MeConville
and Moody, Miss Lucille Elder gave
a song recitation; Mrs. George r i.
Steele gave reading; Miss Belle
Varnum sang; and Miss Dorothy
Sander rendered plano solo. after
which refreshments were served by
the Misses Kathleen Mcfarland, Dor
othey Sander, Lucille EIder and LII
liam Kennedy. The contributions for
the evening amounted to sac. and
It is the intention Of the club to
add at least $40 to this sum. which
win bring its contribution consider
ably above It's propOrtionate share
Of the total sum to be raised.
