to havo flomo simple social affair that
would tend to knit tho members mora
closoly togothor. This social nffnir
took tho form of n "Fellowship Coffee"
which'was held in tho Odd Follows'
hall on Tuesday ovening. Tho refresh
ments were furnished by tho ladies of
thw Rebeknh lodge and took th'c form
of a very simplo lunch in conformance
with tho wishes of tho club. Consider
ing tho restrictions under which tho
Rcbokahs wero placed in regard to tho
prico per plate it was rathar remarkable
what a delightful lunch thoy wero able
to serve. It is one of tho by-lawsjof
tho club that each department .ahull
furnish, in regular rotation, tho enter
tainment, at tho general meetings of
tho club. It fell to tho lot of tho civic
department to furnish tho program .lit
this initial social meeting and the othor
departments feel that thoy sot n very
good standard. Owing to the number
prosent, one hundred and twenty-two,
It was necessary to sorvo tho junch in
two soctiona. When tho last section
was sorved Mrs. J. J. Halligan, tho
chairman of the civic department, act
ing as toastmistrcss, mado a few re
marks concerning tho club and moro
particularly the civic dopnrtment, and
then in an exceedingly happy manner
introduced tho vnrious speakers who
wero to respond to toasts. Tho firit
toast, "Women's Clubs" was responded
to very briefly, by Miss KrampK. Sbo
was followed by Mrs. Blalock whole
toast was the "Civic Departirtont!"
Mrs. Blalock is a very forcoful speaker
and she presentod tho work of tho
civic department in a very interesting
way and urged its claims upon tho
women present. Tho next toast
"Charity" wag responded to by Dr.
M. A. Amos, who in n very clever
little talk paid a Well deserved tribute
to tho charitablo works of the women
of North Platte. Mrs. Wilson Totifc
rosponded to tho toast "PlayGrounds.'1,
Mrs. Tout's response was a very care
ful, thouchtful exposition of tho needs
of tho community in regard to public
playgrounds. Mho next tcast "Uaruag." .
Tho spoaker, Mrs. M. E. Scott, very
clearly demonstrated that it was a very
vital problem of tho city, nnd that tlio
womep, as good housekeepers them
selves, would havo to help tho city to
bo a good housekeeper Mrs. Goo.
B. Dent who was to havo rosponded to
tho toast, "Municipal Problems" was
unnble to bo present on account of ill
ness and the toast which had boon as
signed to her wns responded toby Mrs.
Becler, the president pf tho club in a
speech in which was a pleasing mixture,
of humor and good ndvico concerning
somo pressing municipal problems. At
tho close of the toast list tho gathering
adjourned to tho main hall whero a
very pleasing musicn! program was ren
dered by Mesdames DeFord, Crane,
Davis, Cram, Wolr and Hoagland.
