The second meeting for the current
year of the Catholic Woman s Club,
held in X. Of @. Hall, Saturday after
noon, was both interesting and enter
tanning. Mesdames Thomas Scott and
N. J. Terry were the charming hostesses
for the afternoon and they performed
wonders in the large hall with softly
shaded floor lamps and scarlet and
gold autumn leaves.
Plan Two Affairs.
The meeting was called to order
shortly after three o'clock by Mrs.
Walter White, president of the club,
who had important announcements to
make. Foremost among these was that
the next meeting would be held in the
Elks ballroom on the night of Novem-
Der 10Th. On this night the club mem
bers and their guests will have an OPP
portunity to hear two artists Of rare
ability. Miss Phyllis Fergus of Chi
cago, is reader and musician of merit
and she will play some of her own
piano compositions. Miss Naomi Scan
Ian daughter of Judge Kickum Seaman
Of Chicago, who will also appear on the
program, is widely known as soprano.
The November meeting will no doubt
be one Of the most worth while OF the
year and it will be necessary to make
a small admission charge in order to
meet the expense incumbent upon the
securing of these artists.
Preparations are underway for a
children IS party to be given the third
Saturday in December. The children
are not only to be given good time
at this party but they are also to be
taught that it is better to give than
to receive. TO accomplish the latter
purpose each child will be asked to
bring a useful gift for distribution
among the poor children of the city.

done by the st Catherine IS fund COM

Catholic Woman Is Club would continue

the call. The members were also told
