honoree's sister. Miss Esther Davis.
we're distributed. On q long golden ar
row sat two little Cupids, wearing
ecstatic expressions, and loving each
other with all the strength OF their
small arms. For them was named the
game that followed, played Nth red
and white dice, on tables covered with
linen, ~whichbore the numbers embroid-
cred in the same scarlet colors. Pro-
gressions were marked with tiny gilt
hearts, which were pasted on the backs
Of the love gods. On each table were
bonbon dishes Of miniature pepper
mint sticks. For success In the game
"Cupids" Mrs. Marstellar was awarded
handsome embroidered towels, while
the honor guest was further honored
with an Irish crochet slipper bag, the
work OF the hostess.
At the conclusion Of the game was
served an ice refreshment. preserving
the chosen color motif. A baked
meringue heart held the frozen mousse
and each Of the individual angel cakes
bore a scarlet geranium, as If its stem
had taken root there.
Miss Davis wore a handsome white
coat suit with blue trimmings and a
Panama flap sailor. The hostess was
gowned in a filmy lingerie frock.
The many College Station m~atrons
and Bryan bachelor girls who were
guests at this pleasing hospitality sin
cerely praised the original ideas Of
Mrs. Moran, whom everyone knows is
a charming person and a gracious
hostess. In the conception of these
effective ideas she was assisted by
Mrs. Nagel, mother Of the honoree;
Miss Esther Davis, Mrs. Morgan, Mrs.
Mark Francis, Mrs. John Harrington.
It is the Wednesday following
Easter that Miss Francis Davis will
leave Texas for Georgia, after becom-
ing the bride of a a who, though a
stranger to us. has our hearty good
wishes.
May the sun of his happiness never
go down,
May the wife he has chosen from our
good town
Prove a helpmate indeed, and a friend
81 true
That the world will be wrapped in a
rose-colored hue,
With never a shadow and never a
frown,
With many ups and never a down,
With as much Joy as ever can
Fall to the lot of mortal man.

Linen Shower

In response to a ~cleverly rhymed
verse bidding them to honor Miss
FRAMES Davis, a gay crowd of maids
and matrons entered the home of Mrs.
Charlie Moran on Wednesday after.
noon at 8 O'Clock, each one bent on
playing providence by providing a
shower for the popular Easter bride.
The room we're artistically deco
rated with quantities of beautiful wild
flowers and red berries; masses Of
trailing ferns and palms providing the
cool. restful note of springs own out
of-doors. Overhead were twined long
red streamers, all caught together in
the center of the ceiling with a big
open bell, as If out of it were already
pouring the showers of blessings that
are wished for the young honoree.
In the long reception hall the guests
fingered, loathe to leave the inviting
spot in the middle Of it where Miss
Esther Davis and Mrs. John Herring
ton stood serving punch from a bowl
almost hidden among fragrant nibis-
Gus blossoms. Here Mrs. Mark Francis
proposed a toast and the guests
drained their glasses:
Here's to the rose that buds and
grows,
Pluck it and call it your own;
For the rose must fade,
And so will the maid
If she lives too long alone!
Now, to the dear that is not here,
my dear,
For if the dear that is not here were
here,
We would not be drinking this toast
to you my dear.
Then the hostess tied a big pocketed
apron about Miss Davis and babe her
open the door of a closed room that
looked as mysterious as a "Blue
Beard chamber"-from the outside.
AS she stepped across the threshold
such a shower Of rice fell from a
brides slipper suspended above that
she staggered under the load. But
once inside the symbolism of the out
doors suggestions and Of the house
wife's apron became evident. For
there, on a long clothes line, hung such
a wash as e girl took down. Ex-
quisite e~mbroideries, the daintiest bits
of lingerie, finest linens, things for
use and things for ornamental fash
Toned by skillful, loving fingers-were
pulled loose, only to be pinned back

The woman,s Club AdIourns-

INV vvVfVQU SsSS
To the uninitiated it may appear
that the only raison d'etre OF the
Woman's Club of Bryan Is the study
OF those things that are the basis of
self-culture and a preparation for bet
ter social service, literature, art,
history, etc. But we are banded to-
gether for a grave and earnest pur-
pose, and though we are only a very
small part Of the grand total of $780,
900 federated women, still we are
working with them for the moral up
lift Of the world, for the conservation
Of the home and the children. and for
moral as well as mental and physical
training in schools as a necessary
part Of the development of good citi-
'zenship.
We are setting high educational
ideals and training the mothers Of
American homes to approximate them.
But 1t is not the purpose Of this ar
ticle to dwell upon the noble work
being done by women's federated
clubs, but to report the last meeting
OF the Woman's Club Of Bryan. On
Wednesday, March 20, the club held
its last meeting until we reconvene
next October. Our adjournment came
all too SOC this season. for in the
seventeen years Of orr club existence
we have never enjoyed more harmo-
NOUS and delightful meetings. A feel

THE BRYAN DAILY EAGLE

splendid program arranged BY the com
mittee, dainty refreshme nts were
served, and a free.will offering OF
$3.50 was taken in. Thus through the
efforts Of the woman's Club "a South
ern shelf was made possible in our
public library.
In regard to the clubs weekly work,
the lessons have all been interesting,
but two stand out as being specially
so--the London lesson and the Paris
lesson. Roll call has been answered
by Current Events" Home Eco
nomics," Spread OF Mormonism," an
fluence of Women's Clubs on Educa-
tion." etc, and in calling the roll the
secretary was always Ioath to pass as
quickly as was necessary from one
name to another, 80 much did the Ia
dies have to say on each subject and
so well did they say 1t.
The club includes in its membership
quite a number Of musicians and has
enjoyed a musical treat each week.
Mrs. w. c. Davis, Mrs. Webb Howell,
Mrs. Spence, Mrs. Francis. Mrs. Buch-
anan, Mrs. Raysor, Mrs. Giesecke, Mrs.
Hudson and Mrs. Wilson have all con-
tributed musical numbers. We have
also had the pleasure of hearing Miss
Mary McInnis and Mrs. George Adams,
charming vocalists; Miss Spence of
San Angelo, an accomplished cornetist,
and Mr.. Ball, a pianist of ability. So
with roll call, music. papers and dis
%cussions, business, table talk English
writers) and Shakespearean study
(Henry VI; and that play in which it
is said all the sweet witchery OF
Shakespeare's genius is concentrated,
midsummer Nights Dream")-with.
all this | say, the club has rounded
out a full, pleasant and profitable
year.

In Social Circles
BY Mrs. Dona Came.

ling OF comradeship seems to have
grown up between the members and
1t is with genuine pleasure that we
greet each other in our weekly gather
ing.
The report OF Mrs. w. 8. Wilson,
recording secretary, was piquant and
full of bon mots and was roundly ap-
lplauded. Mrs. Wilson's reports are al
ways ~applauded, for, like the good lit
tie girl in the fairy tale. every time
she speaks pearls and jewels fall from
her lips.
, But there are others. Our little
critic, Mrs. w. P. Bryan (than whom
there is none more clever also comes
in for her share of applause. AS critic
she has given the club the benefit of
her high-class college education.
The treasurer, Mrs. John Hines,
gave an account of her stewardship
and turned over her heaps of gold and
silver to her successor with a great
sigh of relief, feeling that her respon-
sibility had been almost as great as
that of our national treasurer.
Next anne the election of officers
and there we're SO many Richmonds In
the field (put up by admiring friends)
that the vote had to be taken over
two or three times for every Office,
The result was as follows:
President-Mrs. j.. Webb Howell.
Vice President-Mrs. Charles Davis.

work of civic improvement; she owes
1t to her home, to her family, to her

every way possible this campaign for
the cleanliness, health and beauty Of
Bryan. The first step toward ultimate

Recording secretary-Mrs. Seth
Mooring.
Corresponding secretary--Mrs. J.
Allen Myers.
Treasurer-Mrs. e. J.. Fountain.
Parliamentarian-Mrs w. p. Bryan.
Critic--Mrs. w. s. Wilson.
Reporter-Mrs. w. G. Taliaferro.
After the election of officers Mrs.
John Astin, the retiring president,
gave a little heart to heart" talk TO
the club members, thanking each one
for their hearty cooperation and en-
enlargement during her incumbency
as president. BY her ~graciousness and
tact Mrs. Astin has endeared herself
to every member of the Woman's Club.
She has given her time and talents to
working up an increased interest in
the club and her success In this has
far excelled her fondest hopes. In
turning over the gavel to the newly
elected president, Mrs. J.. Webb How
ell, Mrs. Astin expressed the belief
that the same loyal support of the club
would be given her.
Mrs. Howell, In accepting the badge
of office, declared her purpose OF liv-
ing right up to our motto: 1--WE must
move with the times" With Mrs. How
ellis youth, ability and enthusiasm, we
feel the Woman's Club will progress
and maintain its high record of doing
things we'll and promptly. All of, the
newly elected officers are we'll known
in Bryan circles, except Mrs. Charles
Davis, who is a comparative stranger,
and the compliment of electing her
vice president proves that she has
made a splendid impression on her
sister club women.
We hope to have Mrs. Davis a deni-
zen OF Bryan when she returns from
her summer outing.
AFTER the election OF onlcerS a col
lation was served Of tutti-frutti cream
and angel food cake. Upon each plate
was placed a dainty booklet tied in
the club colors. white and green.
The little booklets will be cherished
as a gift from a charming woman and
a souvenir of a delightful occasion.

Woman,s Club Report for 1s11.12-

Woman's Club Report for 1e11-12-
On club opening day, October 4,
1911, our president in her address
said: Il trust we have all come with
the firm resolve to be faithful in at
tendance and all duties assigned us,
for without the cooperation of the
entire membership no club can be a
success" Now on this closing day I
am sure she must feel gratified, for
the attendance has been excellent,
every duty conscientiously- performed,
and the club Is a success. There has
been a steady growth during the year,
and today thirty-fve names are en-.
tered on the roster.
Early in October it was moved and
carried that the clubs place of meet
ing be changed from the south to the
north room in Carnegie library. Suit
able furnishings were arranged for,
and In November the club was at
home in its handsome new quarters.
The pretty curtains which add so
much to the appearance of the rooms
were presented by the Young. Ladies'
Reading Club. Our reporter, writing
OF these club girls in a late paper,
said: They have given evidence of
so much talent in their ranks, the
elder club sisters will have to look to
their laurels lest they be completely
eclipsed." Now it will not be long
before these bright, charming young
girls will be bright, charming young
married women-then we will draw
them into the Woman's Club. We al
ready have two extremely clever ones,
drawn from a girls club; and it seems
a very short time since Lila Graham
McInnis and Esther Boatwright we're
enthusiastic Bachelor Girls. But to re-
turn to my report.
The Texas Federation of Women's
Clubs was held in Houston, November
21-25. The Woman's Club was ably
represented by Mrs. NJ. w. Sims, dele
gate, and Mrs. w. G. Taliaferro. Mrs.
Sims, representing this club, pledged
$40 to the National Federation endow.
ment fund, and when this mount was
forwarded to Mrs. Pennybacker, chair
man Of Texas fund, she mentioned that
the Woman's Club of Bryan was the
first to meet its obligation. Mrs. Sims
was honored land through her the
club by being requested to make the
speech nominating the new federation
president, Mrs. Eli Hertzberg of San
Antonio.
The different committees appointed
by the president have faithfully dis
charged their duties. The house COM
mittee, which is changed every month,
saw that the rooms were kept in per-
feet order and comfortably heated dur
ing the winter season. To the pro.
gram committee we are indebted for
the fine programs arranged for the
two open meetings, Thanksgiving and
Texas Day.
On February z our president sug.
gested that at the next open meeting,
Texas Day, March 6, the United
Daughters Of the ~Confederacy, Young
Ladies' Reading Club and Civic
League be asked to assist and make
the entertainment a tea, with refresh
ments and a free-will offering-the
money to be devoted to the purchase
OF books by Southern writer's and the
collection placed in Carnegie library.

TRAIN STARTS ON NOV. 6
Minnesota Agricultural College Plans
to Educate Farmers.

Under a plan worked out by Dean
A. F. Woods and with the approval of
President George e. Vincent of the
University Of Minnesota, who expects
to go along, the state agricultural COL
lege will put an entire farm upon a
train of eleven cars and carry the
farm on a ten day trip into Minnesota,
to show the farmers what good work
a do. Everything but the actual
acres and farm buildings will be taken
along. Beef and dairy cows, sheep,
calves, pigs, horses and chickens will
travel in company with a staff of lee
turers from the college, which will in
clude four women. So far as has been
planned Professors A. D. Wilson, An
drew Boss, c. P. Bull and N. C. Chap
man, state poultry expert, will be in
the party.
A strong appeal will be made to the
women and children of the farms. Ad-
vance notices will be sent out from
along the route and school superin-
tendents will be asked to dismiss
schools in advance of the arrival of
the train that the children may attend
the lectures and see the exhibits.
The train will leave Minneapolis
Nov. 6 and will make forty 500 line
towns in Minnesota.

N|CARAGuAN MOB
KILLS THREE MARINES
Americans Then Stay Fifty and
Wound Forty.

San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua, Oct. 8.
Sunday when the American marines
and bluejackets under Lieutenant
Colonel Long marched into the city of
Leon to take possession they were
met in the streets by an irresponsible
mob, who opened fire. Three Amer.
leans were killed and four wounded.
The marines returned the fire, killing
fifty of the mob and wounding forty.
The others were driven out of town.
The American force now in the vi
cinity of Leon and Chinandega num-
bers 1,200 and has the situation under
control.
Evidently influenced by the capture
of Masaya the leaders of the Liberals
at Leon asked for safe conduct to
leave the country, agreeing to surren-
der the city. This was satisfactory to
President Diaz and Admiral Souther-
land and permission to leave with the
proviso that they should not return
was granted General Irias and a dozen
other generals who have been making
Leon their headquarters.
