Creighton, state chair man of Art for the Federation of Women's clubs, was an interesting speaker at the regular meeting of the Weeping Water Woman's club Tues day afternoon at the high school auditorium. She brought with her a large collection of copies of fam ous paintings, which were on ex hibit and explained the different kinds of art. Her definition of the purpose of art is that "The purpose of art is not to make things useful, but beautiful," and speaking of the modern trends of art she said, "They are like some young ladies, Vogue on the outside, but vague on the in side." As Mrs. Creighton has traveled extensively abroad, visiting many of the famous, art galleries, her com ments were educational and illumi nating. Speaking of modern art, she al3o said, "I am still old fashion enough to want a picture of a man to look like a man." As a definition of Art, she gave thi3 poem, author unknown: "I am Art, the best of every nation; I teach religion and human relation. 'I come in a thousand variet ies of form; I've been with men since I was born. I bring beauty to the home and peace to the soul; Knowledge, culture, spirit uality are my goal." Mrs. Creighton's visit to the club is one of the outstanding events in the history of the club, and is an example of what the State Federa tion has in store for the small town club women.

Seated at three long tables, with centerpieces of low bowls of lavender and white chrysanthemums, they were served to a most delicious "sup per" while about forty-five younger guests were served at other long tables. It was an inspiration just to meet with these people, who, in the even ing or sunset of life represent the past several years of our community. Looking back through the years, we have many happy recollections of their helpfulness, their stability, their pride in their community, and of their homes which were always open to their friends. Quoting from Rev. Lenker's talk: "They have been and still are a blessing to our commun ity." Greetings were extended by Miss Edith Clizbe and Mrs. John Domingo responded for the guests, after which two vocal solos, "Good Bye" and "The Lamplit Hour," were sung by Miss Brown, accompanied by Miss Sjoholm.

He spoke of the great blessing which these guests have been to the community through cut the past and the present years. A piano solo, composed of a group of selections from the light operas, was played by Mrs. Neil Robsoh. This closed the program as prepared by the chairman, Mrs. W. D. Lenker, but every one was in such a happy mocd that they lingered on and sang a number of single verses of old familiar songs, for which requests were made by the guests. This was the fourth annual "Sun set Party" which these ladies have provided, and Monday evening's gath ering, with invited guests above 70 and with most of the entertainers of the high school age, there was a spirit of good fellowship and it was p happy party indeed. ' Those who have attained the age of seventy look forward to these in vitations with a great deal of pleas ure. 4 Murray Miss Margaret Moore visited in Plattsmouth last Friday. J. D.
