MRS. FIELD'S ADDRESS.
'Ihe pleasantest duty that has fallen
to me during a year's work in our City
Federation of Women's Clubs is the
welcome which my office allows me to
extend to you today. Some of you have
already been received into some of the
hospitable homes of Lincoln and have
been given a cordial welcome from your
hostess. The City Federation is near
ing the close of a prosperous year and
this state convention of federated clubs
seems a most appropriate finish to our
first year's work. Wo have seventeen
clubs in our city federation with a mem
bership of over 400, and each and all of
them have taken a personal interest and
pride in your convention. Our city
federation haB been a source of fo much
pleasure and profit to us that we cannot
afford to mi6s so good an opportunity of
commending this plan to others who
may be hesitating what course to take.
It tends to bring out the beet that is in
each club for the benelit of all. It en
larges the views, softens the prejudices,
and lifts out of the rut the woman who
joins it. At each of the three open
meetings we have held two papers havo
been read by Indies chosen from their
respective clubs; ther3 has been music,
two-minute reports from two or three
clubs and light refreshments served at
the close. Although the papers pre
sented have been most entertaining,
not a little of the pleasure of these
meetings has centered about the social
hour. It is most gratifying to us to
round out these meetings of the ear
with this splendid convention of feder
ated clubs of Nebraska. So you are
very welcome to our house. It must
appear in other ways than words, there
fore I scant this breathing courtesy."
The reception given by Mrs. A. J.
Sawyer to the delegates of the federa
tion of woman's clubs was in every re
spect a most brilliant affair. Mrs. Saw
yer's beautiful residence was crowded
to the uttermost. The short musical
program commanded breathless atten
tion. It was the first opportunity Lin
coln people have had to hear the won
derful little Dovey girls, who sang "I
Know a Bank" and "Hear Me, Norma."
Ices were in great demand and it took
both valor and persistence on the part
of the gentleman to get through the
crowd that surrounded the punch
bow's.
