LITERARY CLUB ENTER
TA|NS At LUNCHEON
WOman's Club and Teachers are Guests
at Pleasing Afternoon Affair in
Church ParlOrs

The members of the Ladies Liter.
airy Club were hostesses at a pink
and white luncheon given in the
parlors of the Presbyterian Church
Saturday afternoon at one O'Clock.
In spite of the inclemency of
Saturdays weather when Kenne
wick wore anything but her most
festive attire, the ladies who gath
cred at the church looked their
prettiest and their gowns presented
a pleasing contrast to the out door
surroundings. The lady teachers
and the members of the Woman's
Club were the guests and upon
entering the parlors they found
themselves confronted with pleas
ing display of pink, white and green,
the l.. l.. G. colors. The details of
this pleasing color scheme were de-
veloped with streamers, and the
lavish use of pink and white car
nations, potted plants, maiden hair
ferns and peach blossoms. Covers
were laid for sixty-four guests and
the tables were perfect in their ap-
pointments. The effect of the
pink and white china. snowy linen
cut glass and silver was most at
tractive and the delicious menu of
four courses was greatly enjoyed.
At each plate was dainty carna-
ton place card. Six young ladies
served the seventeen tables and their
efficiency elected the admiration of
all. After the coffee the guests
were surprised to note that pink,
green and white bonbons were being
passed. One mouthful of the cot
ton with which they were filled was
sufficient to remind them of the
date and the situation was explained
affording much merriment to all
concerned.
One of the most attractive fea-
lures of the function was the music
which was almost continuous dur
ing the luncheon hour. MissMaude
Harrington presided at the piano
and her selections were very we'll
chosen and were rendered in a man
ner which would have reflected we'll
deserved credit on any of the great
professionals.
After the last course was served.
Mrs. H. f. Beach arose to intro
duce to the assembly the president
of the Ladies' Literary club, Mrs.
C. O. Anderson, who, in her charm
ing manner spoke in behalf of the
organization on THE Relation of
Womens' Clubs to the Schools.
The subject was handled so COM
prehensively that everyone present
could not have failed to carry away
with them a clearer idea of the
ideals of every club woman in re-
gard to her children in the schools
and the cooperation of teachers and
parents. Mrs. H. M. Bartlett re-
sponded with a talk on THE Re-
lation of Woman's Clubs to the
Community. In a few clear and
concise statements the president of
the Woman's club told of the i'm
portance of the clubs in the town,
of the good which is accomplished
through their fundamentally and
the great opportunities which are
open to every club woman for the
general improvement of the com,
munity in which she lives. Miss
James followed with a few remarks
in behalf of the teachers, in which
the relation of the teacher to the
patron from teachers point of
view was clearly established. Mrs.
Beach introduced Mrs. G. w. Shan
afelt to the ladies with great formal
ity, announcing that she had a
most important message for the
clubs and teachers. Mrs. Shana-
felt arose with the greatest solem-
nifty and who shall say that in the
hush that followed a few weary
signs were not smoothered as the
guests saw her unroll twenty sheets
of closely written foolscap. The
stress of the moment was greatly
