(, Mrs. Chas. Mulch will have the hon.

Priscilla club on Thursday afternoon
of next week In her comfortable first
ward home
Nauvoo has domestic science club,
but Of which is little known. Its
membership comprises some of the
leading women of this beautiful town.
The club meets weekly. The enter.
tainments are no doubt both odd and
instructive. Perhaps first, one bright
woman gets up and demonstrates a
salad, then there may be a reading
from one of the major poets. Next
may be in order for some one to arise
and lecture on hygienis and the pre-
vention of sickness. This may be fol-
lowed by more demonstrations rela-
tive to cakes, meats and gravies and
the like. At the last song service
peals forth without doubt, and a new
meeting place is named and the SEES
sion adjourns. Who is to say that
this club is not good one and that
1t does not speak we'll for the civiliza-
tim IF nd q o1,yh 1Uif q
teal purpose?
The busiest man in Nauvoo now ap-
pears to be the tax collector. In all
small towns there is hardly a cor
respondent that is not writing his
editor that tax collecting is the order
of the day and that the collectors
themselves seem to be as busy as
cranberry merchants. 1t Is now the
annual gathering Of the tithes
There is a beautiful Nauvoo girl who
says there is honor among some
thieves, On recent Sunday night
her male caller stole a kiss and gave
1t back and now she believes that
there is still some honor left among
some sort of thieves.
Since only about one-third OF Maui
VOC women voters took advantage OF
the first opportunity they ever had to
vote, one may be pardoned for won
dering how many of them will go to
the polls when voting becomes an an
noying duty instead of a brand-new |
privilege. There will be a good per- |
centage of them out at the township |
election in Nauvoo and the dry" and |
wet" question will be the cause. And |
The next day after the election maybe
some of the women Of Nauvoo
will accuse each other of trea CHI
cry. The mans way is to keep
still and sharpen the knife for the
next time.
