US the Royal
Neighbor delegates at the New Harper
| an altogether delightful affair. n
The same infectious spirit of en-
| thusiasm and goodwill that pervaded
the sessions of yesterday gripped one
| last evening and cordially and neigh
borliness characterized the entire af-
fair.
There probably never has assembled
in Rock Island, or any other city for
that matter, more truly representa-
tive body of women, showing the finest
intelligence and womanliness and the
true spirit of the real American wom-
an. sThere is absent any snobbishness
that frequently prevails in a body of
women and that spirit of Il am better
than thou" was conspicuous by its alb
sence. A remark that gives the crux
of the whole thing was overheard when
one of the Rock Island ladies on the
reception committee, who, although
member, has never taken any active
part in the body's deliberations and
had for some reason or other formed
an entirely wrong impression of the
personnel of the society, remarked of
her surprise and delight in the women
she met. She said she had come down
the first day that the delegates began
to assemble with sort of 'uppish"
feeling that she was not quite of the
same clay, but after meeting and talk
ing with the women she began to
have a sneaking feeling that she really
was not made of the same clay and |
that she really ought to take a back
nd civ m hriC for
and cleverer than she.
Assemble Early.
The guests began to arrive at the |
Few Harper early last evening and as |
each one came she was drawn into |
the maelstrom and at once became one
of the party of merry women. The
affair was very informal and thorough
ly delightful. In the ball room of the
hostelry was stationed Stroehle's or
chestra and during the evening gave
a program of music to which many of
the guests danced. Here. also was
stationed the receiving line, composed
