Women's Organizations

If there was anyone present who did
not love Rudyard Kipling's incompara-
bic poetry before Nile. Eugenia Ger
lac gave her interesting entertain
ment Monday afternoon at the WO-
mans club. they probably were con-
verted by the time she had finished.
Nile. Gerlac is an enthusiastic ad-
m1rer Of kipling. He has an magma
ton that is simply wonderful" she
said and an extraordinary faculty
for picking out the most direct way
to the very heart Of things. He has
vital interest in life, so great that
nothing is common to him, and he is
decidedly. the most original poet Of the
10th century. She prefaced her Kip
ling readings with a short account
OF kiplings life, and the environ
ment in which he lived that gave him
such close sympathy with Britain's
Tommy Atkins" Among the Kipling
poems Nile. Gerlac read were East
IS East and West is West" Fuzzy
she rendered with comprehensive SYM
pathy and strength.
Before the Kipling readings, Mile
Gerlac gave a number Of selections in
a lighter vein, her description of the
JOYS or farming being especially well
impersonated. Nile. Gerlac opened the
afternoon recital with a very witty
dissertation on the differences between
the Frencn and English lanEua ges
which she illustrated with several
readings in both French and English
Mrs. W. l. Brown introduced Nile
Gerlac with a few appropriate re-
marks.
A good sized audience enjoyed the
readings The decorations Of the plat
form were rather unique. The back
ground was hung with Turkish rugs,
and the windows were all shaded, the
only lights being a group of candles in
Drass sticks, giving an almost church
Ike aspect. Great masses Of wild
fruit blossoms decorated the platform
and profusion Of smilax and greenerv
wound around the columns save the
room the effect of a bower.

When a mother is found who is

TO history as a character OF unusual

Look Over Your Friends.
Look over your own circle of friends,

To be tender and kind and loving

a virtue. It is merely a decent and
natural thing to be.
But the mothers clubs are organ
lied, not to make mothers fight like

10 awaken in them the spirit OF uni
Fersal motherhood.
No woman can pride herself upon be-
ing good mother unless she has in
her heart a broad feeling Of love and
sympathy for all the boys and girls
Of other mothers
The purely animal instinct to pro-
1t ahead of other children, at any
cost, is not what constitutes ideal
motherhood.
The mother cat does this, and she
steals the food of other kittens to
carry it home to her own. and feels
she has done a fine act.

But the mother who pushes down
other children TO advance her own,

The fathers and mothers OF the town
