 Hawthorne Club Enjoys
 Exclusive "Riley" Program.
 The Hawthorne Book club held it's closing meeting for the season Tues day afternoon, with Mrs. Horatio Riley as hostess, the program being peculiarly and prettily appropriate, being composed exclusively of selec- tions from the works of the poet, James Whitcomb Riley, a kinsman of the hostess.
 Interesting is the following sketch of the history of the club, prepared by Mrs. Sebastian Geisreiter, one of the charter members who is stili act tive and faithful to the club:
 '"The Hawthorne Book club is in it's twenty-third year, it having been organized February 12, 1894. It is rather unique organization. No constitution, no bylaws. no dues, in fact, little red tape. Yearly a presi- dent, vice-president and secretary and treasurer are elected. The pres ent incumbents being Mrs. w. D. Jones. president: Mrs. J. M Elliott, | vice president and Mrs. John l.. Mills, secretary and treasurer Not 1 having any funds the latter office is somewhat an unnecessary adjunct l The club is more of a social than literary nature. While the club has never been active in either civic or charitable work, it has never fail | ed to respond to plea for any good cause
 ], "Of the sixteen, charter members on 1ly five are now in the club; namely Mesdames J. M. Elliott, H. Riley, S M. Taylor. Leo Fox and S. Geisreiter'
 Mrs. Riley had prepared a delicious six-course luncheon in honor of the clubs closing meeting for the sum- mer, and this was thoroughly enjoyed by the members, especially because of the closer knitting of the bonds 01 love and friendship which accompa- nied the sharing of salt, as the Ori- ertals believe in the custom.
 The meeting was opened with a tribute to Riley, written by an Arkan- sas poet on the ffty-second birthday of Riley. and read by Mrs. Harvey Mann. Mrs. Mann also read an ac count of the tribute paid the poet in his home city on that occasion, as printed in that city,
