WOMAN'S CLUB
HAS A TRAVEL
DEPARTMENT

While 1t is ordinarily supposed
that extensive travel is costly and
consume a great deal of time, yet
the Woman's Club of Rawlins has
hit upon a novel and effective way
of introducing to its members, the
nations and places of interest
throughout the world. 1t has organ
ICED a Travel Department, and this
branch of activity Of the Woman's
Club bids we'll to become the most
popular of the many activities OF
this forward moving organization.
The members Of the Travel De-
partment will meet every second
Wednesday at the home of one Of
its members. The honor of VINO
shall entertain the travellers has
been decided alphabetically. and the
first meeting will be held at the
home OF Mrs. l.. e. Armstrong on
Wednesday. October 1st, at 1880
D.. m. At this meeting there will be
planned q curse of travel, and at
each meeting in the future there will
be discourse on the places Of inter-
eat both in America and foreign
lands.
The programme committee to serve
for the balance Of this year, and who
Will have complete charge OF all pro-
grammes Is
Mrs. Lapham. chairman.
Mrs. S~hipworth.
Mrs. Dunlap.
When the travel department was
inaugurated at a recent meeting of
the Woman's Club, there was such
a demand for a place on the pro-
grammes. that 1t was decided by the
committee that this also would have
to be determined alphabetically, so
those who are fortunate in having
their names start with an "a" or a
''b'' are busily engaged in perusing
copies Of Stoddard's Lecture Tours
or Robertson's Travelogues. Not
only will unlimited pleasure and en-
tertainment be furnished by this
Travel Department, but it will bring
home to the members at Rawlins a
clear and copcise knowledge of other
lands and other people. Only can
we know ourselves when we have a
deep knowledge of all other peo-
pies.
