and his occupation as that Of a gentle
man. Miss Finley is the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Henry H. Finley, Of No. S25

motherly love than their New York sis
tiers have.
Women are occupied with things that
have no spiritual value" DR.. Bar

Miss Florence Guernsey, president of

with the clubwoman's motto: Let there
be many windows to your soul, that all
Gods glory may enter in
THE woman's club has opened our
windows" she said, Ito many great and
beautiful little things we cannot see in
our little homes. A woman is more truly
a helpmate, is more certainly better
companion for her husband II she has
a sunny soul than If she is tired out
making pies in a dark pantry. The club
woman Is not out Of her home any more
than other women are at card parties or
sewing circles. You don't find many di-
vorces among clubwomen.
THE club taught women TO wea- short

years ago women used to go dragging
their draperies through the mud of the
streets7 Think Of the germs they gath

laden skirts across the floors of their
