The Belfast Women,s Club

A meeting of the Belfast Arts and
Crafts Club was. held yesterday after
noon at the .'shopHS on Church street.
There's was a large, attendance and
business of Importance was transacted.
AS this was the last meeting of the
fiscal year, the committee to nom-
nate officers for the ensuing year was
appointed by the president, Mrs. Ed
ward r. Pierce, as follows: Mrs. James
c. Durham, Mrs. A. A. Blair and Miss
Elizabeth Kelley. This committee will
report at the annual business meet
ing which will be held on May 4. The
most important matter to come be-
fore the society yesterday was the
question of changing the name and
character Of the club. For in three
years the Belfast Arts and Crafts Club
has been constantly growing in men,
bership and usefulness and the ques-
ton has arisen, whether or not it
would be more useful as a woman's
club with various departments. After
some discussion it was unanimously
voted yesterday 10 change the name
to the Belfast omen's Club, having an
arts and crafts department along with
several others. 1t is planned to have
various departments, among them a
civic department. when an attempt
will be made to do something to bet
ter the condition of the boys and girls
of the city by means of classes in
special branches The work of such
an organization is very broad and
there is need of such in the city.
The Belfast Arts and Crafts Club
was organized about three years ago,
coming up fro ma small club known
as the Squaws. which derived its
name from the gasketry its members
made. This club which met at the stu
do of Mrs. Pierce at her home on
Hight street began the art of basket
making under her instruction, passing
the work on to their friends. a little
later, Miss Evelyn P. Morrison taught
classes in leather work and bookbind-
Ing in the same studio and soon after
Mrs. Pierce took up metal working. In
this way the club grew and on one
winter night the members met at the
studio and discussed making real
club which could take in those VINO
wished to join. That night the Pierce
residence was burned and hte little
club was force dto seek other quarters.
Mrs. Charles H Walden offered
room in her house on Court street and
there the Belfast Arts and Crafts Club
was organized Soon after the room
in the Marsh house on Church street
was leased and in that quaint setting
the club has grown until it has over
100 members, including many from
the summer colony, who come from
distant parts of the country, 1t has
maintained a gift shop which sells
embroidery, bead work, basketry, met
al work. jewelry hand wroughD,
loom woven rugs. etc, also a tea room
and at least twice a week. food sales
when home cooking is SOLD. About a
year ago a literary department was
added and this has been one of the
most active departments, giving dur
ing the winter. months varied semi
monthly program which has been
greatly enjoyed and most beneficial.

start out with work already begun,

against the scanned trunk, her felt hat

some sea-woman emerging from an

against a dappIed rock.
She drew back against the tree and
caught her breath as a bulldog frisked
over messy boulder just in front of
her.
A moment more and she had thrown
herself on her knees with both arms
outstretched. "Oh, you splendid crea-
ture." she cried, you big, lovely
white darling!"
The dog seemed in no way aVerse to
this sensational proceeding. He re-

wagging, but with ecstatic grunts and
growls. Where did you come FROM"

struggled desperately to find a cheek
through the whorl of coppery hair.

She petted and fondled the smooth

to herself, she pulled one of the roses
from her belt, and twisting a wisp of
long grass, wound it round and round

Cause and Effect.

little story, which has reached me,
may be worth a smile. 1t was Easter
Sunday, and the wife already had ar
rayed herself in her spring finery. She
made pretty picture as she stood be-
fore the mirror in her peg top skirt
and her chic little hat of French
model. Outside the procession had
begun. The air was vibrant with
church bells. There was a riot of gay
costumes.
For some reason or other, Friend

became impatient. Henry" she ex-

their brilliant blue backgrounds are
most stunning in a setting of pearls.
