end but we won't say a word about
them until they're over.
One Of the very smartest Of the af-
fairs Of the season was the musicale
and tea given on last Tuesday after
noon by the Building Fund committee
of the Woman's Club. The home of
the chairman, Mrs. Fred S. Breen,
was the scene for this very pretty af-
fair and the spacious rooms glowed
with the profusion Of flowers which
adorned them. Tall vases Of Ameri-
can beauties, together with carnations
and lovely yellow fall flowers, made
an artistic setting for the bright
gowns Of the ladies, for this was a
very formal affair and all had come
in their best. The dining room was
the scene Of great great activity dur
ing the entire afternoon for in one
corner stood table holding all kinds
Of delicacies over which Mrs. William
Babbitt presided and which added
greatly to the financial success Of the
afternoon. In the center Of the room,
the tea table, presided over by Mrs.
Colin Campbell and Mrs. Noble,
proved drawing feature. Here cakes
and tea were dispensed throughout
the afternoon while a musical pro
gram Of unusual merit was rendered.
Mrs. Harry Lathrop opened with an
impromptu number on the piano and
was followed by violin selection, the
ever beautiful "Thias," given by Mrs.
John Adams, whom all love to hear.
Following this came a duet by two
young ladies from the Normal, Miss
Lee and Miss Frost, they proved
themselves artists Of no mean ability
and were compelled to give another
Lunber to an insistent audience. Miss
VerDa Metcaf, accompanied by Miss
Diebert, sang next dainty little Sc
lection, "Will O. the Wisp." Miss
Metealf's singing is always character
lied by finish and clear diction which
never fails to please her audience
and on this occasion she too, gracious
ly gave a second number.
A violin and piano number came
next and was rendered by two young
ladies from the Normal, Miss Hay
wood and Miss Yaggy; it was given
in thoroughly pleasing manner and
was particularly interesting to the
audience who considered it a rare
treat to hear these young students in
music from our Normal school.
Mrs. Brooks followed with a de-
ightfully tuneful selection which
showed to the full the lovely quality
Of her voice. She too, responded to
an enchore. The program was con-
cluded by a selection given on the
guitar, piano and mandolin by Miss
kartchner, Miss Martin and Miss
Moore and received we'll merited ap-
plause.
The finale which each one is inter-
ested in, was the official count of the
moneys. Fortunately the sum in
volved did not require the hours con-
sumed in the late election and we are
ready to state here that almost thirty
dollars was cleared to help lay the
foundation Of our new Woman's Club
building.
The ladies of the committee are to
be congratulated on this, their initial
venture, in securing funds for this
most worthy cause. A Woman's Club
building will not only enhance the
beauty Of the town but is a necessary
adjunct to its life. 1t will be no
hardship to establish fund by the
pleasant means afforded on last Tues
day for each guest went away wish
ing they might enjoy many more
such delightful programs.
