No business was transacted and the next meeting will be in June in con junction with the National Association. The Lincoln household economic de partment has been very popular this winter, and now numbers forty e:ght members. The paper on Monday. "Inva lid Cookery," was given by Mrs. A. P. S. Stewart. The refreshments, with the exception of clam bouillon were not H-" lastrativeof the topic discussed. Per haps the coffee, angelfood, marshtnallow cake and fruit salad added to the simpler fare, were intended as object lessons of what to avoid during the Lenten season. Mrs. Plummer'e paperon "Sanitation" will be given at the next meeting, which will be held at Mrs. McLaughlin's. 255 8oHth27lreet. The Columbian club of Crete has held two, meetings this month. Febru- ary 4 the club met at the home of Mrs. Shepherd. After-roll call and other busi aeas, the lesson was taken up, read and a portion discussed. Parliamentary discus sion was excellent and lively, each one taking great interest. One visitor was present. We were led by our hostess to the dining room where a very pleasant te was served and 'greatly enjoyed by all. February 13 the club met at the pleas ant home of Mrs. Baker After the general business, the lesson and drill occupied time and attention for a while. Great interest is taken to learn, know and understand parliamentary law. There were four invited guests. Dainty refreshments were served and a pleasant social time enjoyed by all, which-passed too quickly. Adjourned to meet March 4. Foe thk Coubiek: Last Friday evening the Tourist club, which is a department of the Schuyler Woman's club, gave a reception in the Odd Fellows' lodge rooms, to their friends and the Woman's club and a very pleasant, social event it was. The club takes up the different countries of the world as studies and. so becomes a body of tourists in mind only. Having just completed Greek History, the mem bers who are all young ladies appear ed with their hair dressed in Grecian style, in fact most of the program of the evening was taken from Grecian litera ture. The addrero of welcome by the presi dent, Miss Washburn, was in her usual happy style. Boll call Quotations from (J reek au thors. Cupid and Psyche Story read by Miss Daisy Bolton; tableaux by Misses Helen Bryant and Margaret Palmer; music by trio of piano, violin and cornet. Pygmalion and Galatea Story read by Miss Emma McRae; tableaux by Misses Sara Nieman and Judah How ard; music by Miss Alma Woods on piano. These tableaux accompanied by the stories and the music were very en chanting and artistic After more vocal and instrumental music, delicious refreshments were ser ved in the banquet hall, and a most en joyable evening spent. The officere of the Tourist club are: Misses Washburn, president; Sara Nie man, vice-president; Anna Long, secre tary; Alma Woods, treasurer. The mem bership consists of about thirty very active workers. This department is a credit to the Schuyler Woman's club, of which it is very proud. This makes me think of what Jules Lemaitre wrote, a propos of Madam Daudet about the literary style of women in general. He says that with us sensation passes immediately into sentiment. A woman sees a bird singing on the branch of a tree, for instance, he says, and an average one of them would write about it, "Among the leaves the bird pours forth its joyous note." This is inartistic, because, to begin with, the leaves and the song reach the mind at precisely the same instant, so that they should be reproduced with a single im pression. And, moreover, to call the bird's note "joyous'" is also inartistic, eince it is a subjective sentiment of which thn songster may be entirely un conscious. Madame de Sevigne would have written "C'est joli une feuilleqiii chante." But this again, for the diffi cult Lemaitre, is a little self-conscious. She has found the expression "the leaf sings," and in a Jack Horner fashion must call attention to it. Madam Dau det would say "The leaf sings," and so would Miss Mary Wilkins, I should like to tell M. Jules Lemaitre. Did I ever write you all this before? I have a half-vague idea of baviug talked it over with you, for it has often beea in my mind; but since we are speaking of the Daudets this comes up naturally, and ib interesting, as one reads the woman authors of her choice. The Century club with a few invited friends spent a delightful afternoon on Tuesday at the home of Mrs. W.E. Kirker. About forty ladies assembled to hear a short program, and to enjoy the social intercourse which followed. In stead of the "Literary Landmarks of Florence, which was to have been given, the members of the club responded to roll call by quotations from Elizabeth 3- " " m
