The sonata was not quite so satisfact ory; at time it seemed a little indistinct as if the player had not made the thought entirely her own. Mr.Movius' voice newer appeared to better advantage than in the martial strains of Schumanne"Two Grenadiers." Mr. Scott's sweat tenor was heard in Coochois' Unrequited" and (is an en core) in "Let me kiss your teara away"' by the same composer. Rossini's "La Separation" was charmingly sung by Mrs. Mark Woods whose rich contialto , voice k always heard with the greatest pleasure. The program closed with a Raff "Gavotte and Musjtte," by Mies Young, accompanied on a second piano by Harry Briggs. There is a picturein the current num ber of Harper's Bazar of Captain Bert rand Rockwell who presented the Wo man's Literary club of Junction City, Kes , with a beautiful stone club house. He is also quoted as giving the following gratifying tribute to the worth of the club movements: -I consider that the influence forgocd whi:h tho widespread organizttion ot these clubs wields nnks in importance sow next to our public school system. In torn with fion8ve to ten thousand inhabitants the evidences of the club's influence are more easily seen and ap preciated than in the great cities. Mem bership means labor, study and culture. It means that many hours which might be devoted to idle pleasure and goesip ara assd to strengthen and improve the Bind. The intellectual advancement of the mother extendi: to the daughter, and even to the sons and father. Table talk is frequently upon subjects which are being discu3ed at the club, and the en tire atmosphere of the home is changed through its influence. The fact that the club is S3 Catholic in its scops is one of its greatest powers. Applicants for mem bership are not necessarily college alum nae. Srcial standing, manners, dre-s, religion or politics arc not considered. A woman of good character, sufficient ly desirous of improving herself mentally to agree to work upon the lines marked out, iB eligible. The result is often sur prising. Some women who have the commonest of common school educa tion have developed into leaders. The extension of the work to farms, which is now being vigorously advocated by Mrs. Noble L. Prentis of Kansas City, is a significant advance. When it is ac complished we will sec fewer farmers' wives sent each year to insane asjliuins. As the condition of the ommon peo ple of Scotland was changed during tbo eighteenth century, from misery and lawlencsB tc happiness and plenty by thepaseageof laws giving free school ing to the poor, let us hope that the wo man's club movement in the twentieth century will make the people of the United States the mo:t intelligent and contented in the world." Sorosis, of Crete'he'd its first meeting ot the tew year with Miss Hall. The main part of our work this year is a re view of English history. Our last topic was "The Martyrs Under Queen Mar-, daughter of Henry VIII. There is a growing interest manifested in child study. The last topic, ''Is i proper to give a child the same kind of food allowed a grown person?" was the occasion of an interesting discussion. A very pleasant feature of the club this year is the social and tea following the literary program. We missed some of our members on this occasion and though we enjoyed the repast, so ample and nicely prepared, our hearts went out in sympathy for those so recently called to mourn. The program cf the next meeting is: Roifcail. English history, tho times and life cf Queen Elizabeth. Sketch of Sir Walter Raleigh, by Mrs. Drake. Parliamentary Drill, by Mrs. Johnson. Current Topic?, by Mrs. Greweli. t The officers of tho Woman's club are considering the feasibility of reviving the dormant musical department At cne time it was thought that work of that nature would interfere with the Matinee Musicale, but if properly con duced it would find .1 sphere awaiting it which is without tho province of tho other club. Each year the standard ot musical culture is raised a little, and all cannot hope to be interpretive musicians any more than they are required to paint impossible roses or wisby washy water-colors; tho world needs now mu sical listeners. A department of music founded on tho lines of Ih9 art depart ment, to study fhe history of music, the lives of tne great composers, with a careful analysis of their works, would be of the greatest benefit in the musical growth of the city. Several pcpiilar works on the theory and art of music have been written during the past few years which are within the mental grasp of those without a technical musical training. We most of us understand music purely from an emotional stand point, but with proper study many to whom the pentiment does not appeal, might learn to appreciate it intel lectually. No class of artists miiror their own personality in their works to the same extent as musicians, and know ing their lives and temperament will often assist to th meaning of a produc tion. Who that underefandsBeethovca'a unhappy life can fail to realize why his music so often was stormy and sad; or how could the universally beloved Men delssohn, whose delicate, beauty-loving organization is shadowed forth in music all poetry and sentiment, give us aught ot storm when it was abjent in his life's experier.es? Now that Lincoln -has the Philharmonic, a serious 6tudy of the or chestra, with the nature and quality of the various instruments, and the history of such organizations the world over would be appropriate. The Woman's Literary club of Slan ton is now starting on its second year It is deservedly proud of its first year's record, having started with six members and now numbering 13. with t.vo appli cants for membership. Mrs. W. W. Young was re-elected president for tho ensuing year The club subscribes for the following period icals: North American Review, Har pert Monthly, MunseyV, McCiures Cosmopolitan.
