Despite stormy weather, fifty or
more of the business women, with their
guests, attended the meeting of the
club on Tuesday evening. The program
consisted of a piano solo delightfully."-
rendered by Miss Mary Cain. A most
interesting Informal talk was given by
Miss Blanche NJ. Cahoon discussing
the pictures on the wall in the auditor
ium. Miss Cahoon used number of
the pictures to illustrate the idea of
the artists displayed in the compost
ton. Miss Cahoon handled her sub
ject in q most interesting manner and
received the closest attention from her
audience. A piano solo and encore by
Mr.. Harrington which were enthus-
iastically received were the next num-
bers on the program. Walter williams
q nativeborn son of Boise, gave his ex-
perience as a commercial artist in New
York. Mr.. williams studied with a
number of local teachers and after
wards in New York. His talk gave
the business women a most interest
ing view particularly as related to
derss goods and fashions. Alonzo
Williams, the whistler, accompanied
by Miss Barada on the piano, was the
feature of the evening. 1t is safe to
say that no such whistllng was ever
heard in Boise before. He delighted his
audience with two we'll chosen num-
bers. Mr.. Williams is professional,
having been in vaudeville. The last
number on the program was Richard
Byrant's rendition on the banjo of
old-time cotton field melodies. This
was one of the jolliest numbers on the
