preparations for the luncheon. and

domestic science department. Mrs. A.
H. Jewett presided as toast mistress.
welcoming her many guests and urging
that there be unity between our clubs,
without rivalry. The state boundary
does not separate us; our towns and
people have grown up together: you
are always welcome and will never find
the gate shut no the door locked.
Mrs. Pearl Jewett, president of the
White Salmon Woman's club. gave the
address of welcome, closing her re-
marks with these lines:
"Come in the evening or come in the
morning;
Come when expected or come with
out warning.
Gladness and welcome will be here to
greet you,
And the oftener you come the better
we'll treat you."
Mrs. j. o. Mclaughlin, president of
the Hood River Woman's club, re-
sponded first. She said there could be
no doubt in the minds of the hostesses
as to the Hood River clubs apprecia-
tion of their invitation, for they had
come 65 strong and.were beginning to
fear that on account of the clubs in
crease in numbers they might outgrow
their invitation. Mrs. Mclaughlin re-
minded the club members of their duty |
as workers, which should not be for
gotten in the pleasure of goodfellow-
ship and the inspiration of their meet
ing together. The Massachusetts,
women are making a concerted effort
to have war put down and are entering
a protest against the manufacture of
fire arms as commercial business
The issues before our two states should
call forth our best efforts-that to
make both states dry. She also CON-
plimented Mrs. Jewett for her activi-
ties, always toward aiding worthy OBJ
jects and her broad interest in human
ity and said:
What we give we get,
And all our many paths are set
With dreary or with golden miles.
Just as we bring them-frowns or
smiles"
Mrs. w. w. Rodwell, of the Hood
River club, then spoke of change
which seemed necessary to be made in
our yearly club visits, and moved that
hereafter the Hood River club be al
lowed to bring their own lunches across
and make the day one of profit as well
as pleasure by having lectures and con-
ferences somewhat upon the order of
small chautauqua. The motion was
carried by large majority.
Mrs. d. A; Hussey. president of the
Underwood Woman's club, responded
for her club which was in large attend
ance, % being present.
Mrs. A. j. Haynes, of the Utilize
Dulci club, then responded, her club
being well represented by Is members.
Mrs. Scott Coe, of White Salmon.
spoke of cheerfulness and good fellow
ship and of making strangers welcmoe.
Her theme was to do what we mean
to do-today.
"Count that day lost whose low de-
scending sun
Views by thy hand no worthy action
done.
Mrs. Marietta Hunsaker, of White
Salmon, spoke for the Parent Teacher
Association and its object, the social
center work, and the school house as
legislative hall. She said true patriot
ism no longer consists in shouldering
gun and following the fife and drum. or
in giving up our sons to the god of
war, but in giving up self to the bet
terment of humanity. There can be no
true civilization until we federate in
| that spirit among the nations.
Mrs. j. e. Holcomb, of White Salm.
on, spoke on cheerfuness-ho holding it in
our own lives and reaching it out for
the Frightening of other lives. She
called to mind our club husbands in the
pantries at that moment. seeking what
they might devour, and pointed to the
only husband present. A. II. Jewett,
whose face beamed with pride and
whose feet had taken many willing
step preparing for us, and aiding our
worthy hostess who was the mother of
the club movement in that part of her
state.
Mr.. Jewett was then called to make
speech and assured the ladies that he
had not been SO frightened kut once
before in his life, and that when he
was first called out in the firing line as
soldier.
Mrs. Chas. Castner, of Hood River,
spoke of the school house for general
purposes. AS the taxpayers build and
support the school it is for them to use
for the public good.
Mrs. Unice Melville responded to a
call in very witty speech, after which
Mrs. X. W. Sinclair. of Hood River,
gave very interesting report of the
national convention Of Woman's clubs
held in Chicago. ILL.,, last June. Mrs.
Sinclair has been in attendance at this
convention and certainly imported much
of her enthusiasm to the $50 favored
club women who shall long remember
| the day at White Salmon.
