studies, but simply of recitations, music
and entertaining things. The club seems
more for social and recreationary pur

enjoyable.

the colors of tho club, were every where
and many pretty (lowers made the room
bright and filled the air with fragrance.

eat and the members en joyed a luncheon
with their conversation.
The third annual banquet of the
Stromsburg Woman's club was held
May 21. It was made public and waB
largely attended. The program was
held in tho opora house. Mrs. A. W.

Hamlet was presanted by several ladies
in a pretty manner. Ida Makeever re
cited an original poem of much beauty

The Omaha club is ot course the
