ELL1sPoRT woMAN's CLUB.

The last meeting of the club was at
the rustic home Of Mrs. H. c. Hills.
The gathering was small, but the old
fashioned party programmed for the
afternoon was unusually delightful.
The guests arrived attired in the
fashions of their mothers and grand
mothers. Mrs. Hills lovely garden
gave an added charm to the setting,
many of her favorite flowers being
reminiscent of the gardens of our
grandmothers. Stories of the days of
yore, and experiences passed on to us
by our pioneer forefathers were part
of the roll call. Many heirlooms, pic
lures and examples Of needle work
were brought, notably those by Mrs.
B. K. Starr and Mrs. Charles LaChap-
pelle proved very interesting. The
costumes worn by Mrs. Barney Ofden-
kamp, Mrs. Hills. Mrs. George Bailey,
Mrs. Robinson, Mrs. Starr, Miss Big
ham and Mrs. LaChappelle were in
teresting and beautiful examples Of
the styles of their times. Last, but
by no. means least, was the delicious
lunch served by Mrs. Hills and Miss
Bigham, the climax Of which was old
fashioned gingerbread, topped with
whipped cream.
