ed to members Of other clubs for many
pleasant afternoons and evenings. II An
esecially enjoyable afternoon was spent
in company with the library club 1T 81 he
shosEitable country home Of Mrs. Albert
Roberts. After such a whole -sonled
welcome as would be expected from
people who live so closely in touch with
nature, their lovely home being built
almost in the forest primeval, an hour
was spent in such q feast of reason anu
flow of soul, lovely music and number
of able papers being presented, that all
were ready to appreciate to the full the
bounteous banquet prepared by the
hostess. AS the twilight shadows gath
ered the guests dearted, pronouncing
this one Of the red letter days in club
life and the hospitable home in the for
est made cone Of the beautiful pictures
we hang on memories wall. Another
lovely evening was spent with Mrs.
Mann, whose successful social functions
are always SO much enjoyed.
On Jan. TO- 1908, Mrs. Stoltze, who
was then the able president Of The club,
introduced for discussion the subject
| of free library for Devils Lake. This
idea met with the most enthusiastic
endorsement Of the entire membership
and before adjournment a committee,
consisting Of Mrs. Stoltze, Mrs, Burke
and Mrs. Juergens, was appointed to
meet with the library club-those pion-
/ GERS III library work who so much de-
serve our gratitude and congratulations
/ for such efficient work and such Won
lers accomplished and under conditions
so discouraging that would have dis
mayed any woman less heroically brave
| and determined. 1t is not necessary to
enter into the work Of any individual
or club-all worked with zeal and
ardor irresistible. Our beautiful Ii
brary stands as a monument of what
may be accomplished by united harmon
ious and well directed effort on the
part Of our women IS clubs and should
prove an inspiration and incentive for
still greater efforts.
Another great and bencfcent insti-
tuition, "The Associated Charities =
had it's inception in The Devils Lake
4 Shakespeare Club, the subject being
first introduced by Mrs. Richard Burke,
Z who from former experience in this
i work was specially fitted to carry it to
a successful issue. She, through her
magnetic eloquence, interested many OF
Devils Lakes leading citizens in this
form Of charity and by her able and
practical management has carried it be
You'd the critical experimental stage
and established an institution that is
here to stay as credit to the magnan
unity of Devils Lake people. To &C
complish this she has given freely ant
cheerfuily of her time and talents.

comfortable our sisters from the coun

their lonely waits in town.
