IC
of the world. In their splendid courage
and zeal they go ahead and da things
that Eas'ern women only dream ot and
perhaps sigh for, and then give up as
impractical. The Western woman is not
bound down by the Bhackles of tradi
tion and prejudice; when she decides en
a definite end tc be accomplished, it is as
good as done. She does not Bit dawn to
count the cost and to reckon on what
thi3 wealthy and prominent citizen
would say. or that descendant of an illus
trious family may think about it. She
pimply does it. And the world admirep.
When the Eastern club woman gets a
little of this independence of spirit, mix
ed with the wholesomo. bit'er truth that
intelligence and culture and tbe best
womanliness are not bounded on the
west by the Allegheny mountains, nor
even by tno Mississippi river, nor on the
snuth by the Potomac, the real value of
the club movement will be more
thoroughly demonstrated than ever be
fore. Those of us who went to Louis
ville and taw and heard and met the
Western and Southern women got a
mental awakening that only needs Den
ver to shake our eyelids wide apart.
When the older members of a family
suddenly rea'ize that their younger sis
ters have grown up and are fully develop
ed women with ideas and opinions a
little advanced, maybe there is an in
evitable chock. But thire is just as in
evitably an adjustment, eo that the
jounger girls find their place and keep
it, tco."
The program of the teacher's associa
tion in the charge of the educational
comm'ttee of the federation of women's
clubs will be given on Tuesday at H p.
m. at the Matinee Musicale rooms in
stead of at the University as advertised.
The chairman of the committee, Mrs.
Haniet I). Hellei, will preside at tLe
meetirg, and music will be furnished by
Mrs. Will Owen Jones and Mrs. D. A.
Campbell. A general invitation is ex
tended to all the club women of Lincoln
as well as to the teachers and other visit
ors, and it is hoped a large number will
be present to hear the following program:
"What cm the Woman's Club do for
he public schools?"
1 Upon the physical plane, Mrs. Chas.
Scbell, Beatrice.
2 Upon the intelle:tual plane, Mrs. P.
T. Buckley, Stromsburg.
3 As to aesthetics art, Mrs. Lang
worthy, Seward.
4 As tD aesthetics music, Mrs. Fran
ces W. Ford, Omaha.
5 As to ethics, Mrs. B. M. Stoutenbor
rough, Plattsmouth.
An interesting meetn j has also been
planned for Tuesday afternoon in the
Library building, whan Miss Carrie Den
cis, Mrs. M. E. Abell of Beatrice and Mr.
J. A. Barrett, State Historical Society
Library, each will speak.
Editor Coukiek, Club Department:
In the last Courier, I notice that jou
speak of the Lotus and Ingleside as
having been the pioneer clubs, have you
forgotten the "Shakspere" that wes
organized quite a while before the others
a year or more, I believe, and was as
suredly the Mother club of them ah?
The members were: Mesdames J. R.
Richards, i. C. Owen, R. H. Oakley, J.J
Imhoff, Thos. Sewell, W. J. Lamb, S. C.
Elliott, W. R. Kelly, (now of Omaha) D.
Newman and Metcalf. They always
kept the original ten and so naturally a
few years ago by removal and death,
lest so many of their members that they
abandoned their meatings. They spent
a great deal of their time on Shaks
pere, and used to make a great deal of
evening meetings in which the gentle
men bore their 6hare in the presenting
of the plays. I remember especially Mr.
Kelly, who now dieplajs his oratory in
more prominent places, had a very ap
preciative audience to listen to his Mac
beth & Hamlet in those early da)s. In
deed it is always a surprise to nit when
I hear of the club movement being new.
as clubs are most prominent elements of
my earliest recollection, and I am sure
in the early day there was as much
and as g o 1 literary work, in p opor
tion to the population, done by
Lincoln ladies as there is today.
