musical numbers, an excellent adj
dress by Mrs. T. S. Talliferro of
Rock Springs. vice president of the
wyoming Federation of Women's
Clubs, followed by talks by Mrs. w.
r. WEIGH and Mrs. John Donpel
Mrs. Earl Barnt gave a reading. and
Mr.. Macarthur and Miss Beth HAYS
oHered piano and vocal solos, re-
s%pectively.
Mrs. Talliferro, whose wide evner-
fence and present position of high
honor I'M responsibility qualities
her to speak with authority, told her
audience that the need for civic ac-
tivity upon the part of women was
Just as great. and attended with Just
as much success in the small town
ms 1t was in the great city. She out
lined many of the departments into
which The members of the newly or
ganized Rawlins club would prob
ably find themselves Interested and
active. These department covered
much work aimed at the self-ad-
vancement of the individual. as well
as improvement within that indiyid-
uals community.
In describing some previous work
OF organization. Mrs. Talliferro de-
clared that. when | started to nut
'A' ~ hllbu branches was
amazed to find they led to art. liter
AZURE, history and music. started
with architecture. which led to land
cape gardening. Interior decorations.
draperies. up to tapestry. which is
art. Then rugs up to the orientals.
which is art again.
w cannot study ANTIQUE art
without knowing the history OF the
countries where IL is produced, and
incidentally we get their literature,
too. Then to follow the home eco
Monies. we touch upon the clothing.
and also upon foods. which bring us

Thrift Is so closely allied to home
economics they can hardly be sonar
nted. So we can take Public well
fare. the Department OF Internation-
nj Relations. or any OF the divisions
| have mentioned. and we VIII find
they lead us to higher things. and
to the door OF many subjects which
we long x had put into the sealed
closets OF our minds.
But here comes the women's
Club. and in tho study OF the vari-
Gus departments we are forced to
open those closed doors of knowi-
edge, and to be refreshed by those
long forgotten friends. In Joining
the Woman's Club | trust you are
not planning e neglect our homes
or your churches. This Womnn's
Club work teaches US to do that
which Is most worth while: TO use
our time with so much efficiency
that each moment will count.
We always think OF a Woman's
Club ~ being In n city which the
women have improved. and OF lnsti-
buttons which they uphold. But
when you attend the State Fedora
ton, Just listen for reports from the
rural districts. and then you VIII see
how much the Woman's Club means
TO them. and how their work is APP
plaudcd."
