THE COURIER.
WOMAN'S GLUBS.
PLATTSMOUTH. Dec 18, 'X.
The club met at Mrs. Walker's Decern
ber 10, ad was, as the Plattsmouth club
always Is. "well attended.
After the regular business a commit
tee was appointed to find a suitable
place to hold a reception on January 1.
Mrs. Munger. leader of Current Liter
ature department, then took charge of
the meeting.
The first juaper was one left over from
a former meeting, review of "A House
boat on The Styx." by Mrs. Travis and
was as original and comical as that
lady's predictions always are. Charon
cruising on the Styx discovers a house
boat; near Inspection proves It fitted up
as a club house. He Is consternated. An
elderly shade appears and Invites hlra
In to meet Sir Walter Raleigh. Demos
thenese, Blackstone. Dr. Johnson (or
Jonson?) and Confucius. They engage
Charon as Janitor. A project Is set on
foot to give a lady's day reception to
the "lady shades of hades" except, for
certain reasons, Lucretia, Borgia and
Delilah. But Xantlppe leads an Invad
ing army of lady shades to the boat
before they learn of the coming recep
tion. They find the distinguished owners
absent at a pri zeflght between Gollah
and Samson. The lady shades organize"
a club and become very deeply Inter
ested. Captain Kldd sails silently up the
stream, and In revenge for having been
black balled by the gentlemen's club,
cuts the moorings and allows the boa't
to drift out Into the unknown from
whence It never returns.
Mrs. RIchey reviewed the story. "Sara
Crewe." Mrs. Agnew read a good paper
on Children's stories.
MUs Foxwell read a review of "CapL
January." prepared by Mrs. Mitchell.
"The Mother Goose Rhymes" was the
same of Mrs. Waugh's paper.
The program ended with a discussion
of the fairy story as a means of intel
lectual development.
