STATE FEDERATION Of
WOMEN'S CLUBS
NOTES
(By Miss Clara Crisler.)


Club presidents and secretaries
would be of great assistance to the
Bureau of Information if they would
forward to this apartment the various
papers prepared for their club meet
ings. A majority of the clubs of the
State have no library at their COM
mand, and must secure all reference
material from the Bureau and the CO.
operative reference library. Many re-
quests have been made for papers
and addresses which they have read
about in the club notes and which the
Bureau could not supply. Some time
back those delivering addresses. at the
last Federation were also requested
to forward these papers, since there
had been so many requests for same
but so far only Mrs. Hugh Brown of
Tonopah and Miss Minnie Flanagan
of Reno have complied with the re-
quest. 1t is hoped this appeal will
not be made in vain.
Mrs Walter Fitzgerald, club re-
porter of the Go1dield Woman's Club
has sent in the following interestign
report of the last months work. The
meeting of the Goldfield Woman's
Club held Thursday at the club house
was the most interesting meeting
held during the club year. The host
es, Mrs. James H. Parks, a charter
member of the club and one of it's
best workers, assisted by Mrs. Thos.
Mills. welcomed the guests and es-
corted them to their seats. After the
club business was disposed of the la
dies were entertained by very inter-
esting paper entitled Thanksgiving,
Past and Present" by Mrs. Huntley.
Albert G. Detch sang two beautiful
solos. The club was particularly for
tunate in having Mrs. John Edwards
Bray as visitor. She gave an in
spring address which was greatly
appreciated. After the progra mMrs
Parks, who always understands how
to do the proper thing at the proper
time, served splendid Thanksgiving
refreshments of mince and pumpkin
pie, doughnuts, and coffee, which were
enioyed by sall. Mrs Parks, Mrs.
Huntlev and Mrs. Detch deserve
great credit for the success of the
afternoon from both the social and
educational standpoints. There was
no meeting on December IA on ac-
count of the death OF Mr.. I. H. Parks.
On December 28 the regular netting
of the club was held at the club house
and the program for December IA
was included. Mrs J. R. Richard
son had prepared an interesting paper
on Children of the Orient" but be-
ing too i'll to attend, it was read by
Mrs. Walter Fitzgerald. The pro-
gram for December 2S was then taken
charge of by Mrs. T. Mills. Her sub
iect was "The Christmas Spirit"
which was we'll handled and all who
had the pleasure of listening to her
felt that they had been greatly bene-
flied as we'll as royalty entertained.
Another attraction of Mrs. Mills pro-
gram was a beautifully rendered read
ing by the Conley twins. The meet
ing closed with plans for New
Years reception for the members OF
the club and their husbands.
