Social Notes

The busy housewife is haunting the
stores and wondering what she shall
use for her new draperies or just what
sort of q rug will look best in this
room or that and the pretty homes in
the city are rapidly being adorned with
the light, fresh things which will make
a welcome shelter after a hot day
down town shopping or in the Office.
There are hundreds OF beautiful things
which the tasteful hOusekeeper can
use to make her home attractive al
though uneXpensiVely furnished and
nothing expresses to the casual OBJ
server the character OF the house
keeper so much as her home. 1t Is an
index to her outlook upon life and her
disposition and tastes. Whatever a
woman asks of life she shows In the
distribution Of her furniture. Does she
want comfort, personal ease-lOOl
where her desk Is placed. does the
light fall where 1t should on her paper
Does she have the reading light over
her bed where she can see the page OF
her book? Does she have the light
correctly placed over her dressing
table-all straws which show the way
the wind blows. Some of us have to

CLUB NOTES

One of the most pleasing club days
in Lisbon's history was Saturday, April
5, when a joint session was held at
the homes of Mesdames Kvello and
Parker. 1t vas the day of music and
after the business meeting the first
Mrs. Sprague, with voice and piano
selections by Mesdames Olson, Speer
and Kvello. Later the ladies' went to
Mrs. Parker's to listen to grand opera
twenty-five members answered to roll
call with musical quotations and show
ed by their enthusiastic applause their
appreciation of the afternoons pro-
gramme. The delicious 6 o'clock turkey
dinner was another pleasing feature
and the hostess assisted by Mesdames
Wands and Schaaf.
on Monday, April IA, Mrs. ". y. La
Rose will be hostess at her home, to
the Monday club of Bismarck. This
club is studying The Gilded Age of
Louis XIV. There will be one more
Monday next, which will close the reg
ular meetings for this season. There
is always an annual social given by
this club, which will take place some
time before the season closes. The
years work has been profitable as well
as enjoyable.
Delegates from the three federated
clubs of Minot met Thursday afternoon
at the club room of the public library
in that city to draw up plans for the
joint meeting of the clubs, which will
be held in the library club room the
evening of April "a. The members OF
the Art, the Literary and the Musical
clubs are eligible to attend n each
member of the three clubs is privileged
to invite two friends to accompany her,
so one of the largest club gatherings
ever held In that city will be held on
that evening. Two papers will be
presented by the Art club; two papers
from the Woman's club. and the Musi-
| cal club will furnish four musical NUM-
bers. Final plans Tor the district
