Miss Mary McCaing, a bright miss of fourteen, delighted the company with a piano solo. A vote of thanks was ten dered the 'young ladies for the music, after which the club adjourned. The child study department of the Woman's club met at the usual place on Saturday afternoon. There was an at tendance of about fifty earnestly inter ested women. Mrs. Hartley spoke lucidly on the physical changes occur ring in the adolescent period of youth. Miss Gallagher read a paper on the men tal changes. This paper showed a breadth of comprehension as topossi bilities for teachers in character devel ment that it were well for all teachers to emulate. Mrs. Berge led ably in .the discussion following which became very earnest. Mrs. Wheeler spoke and Mrs. Warferding led the discussion on the third phase of the subject, practical observations and directions. Music like everything else is subject to the fluctuations of fashion. At pres ent there is a remarkable revival of in terest in the harp. According to the April Cosmopolitan, "There are over a hundred society ladies in New York who are skilful performers on the harp. Ten years ago there were Jess than a dozen. Most of our distinguished pro fessional harpists, also, are women. The harp's salvation is due largely to the beauty of its tone-color, which in the early part of the present century began to attract the great masters of instru mentation. Not only has it been intro duced into all the great orchestras, but now the minor ones of our theatres have taken it up." The article further states that in the east thn harp recital has be come an event of as much musical in terest as a piano recital. One of Chi cago's best harpists, Miss Mildred Web ber will be heard in Lincoln May 4, at the May Festival. The household economics department of the Lincoln Woman's club held its regular meeting Monday with Mrs. John A. Ames. The department closes with fifty enrolled members, the majority of whom etpect to continue their member ship another year. Plans for enlarging the scope of the work were discussed. The members in regular attendance have strained the limits of private houses to the utmost, and a club room with a stove for practical demonstrations has become a necessity. The leader, Mrs. Milton Scott, whose enthusiasm and executive ability have made so great a success of this department, was unanimously re elected. The assistant leader is Mrs. Henry Gund, and the former secretary, Mrs. Guy Brown was also re-elected. Mrs. Scott, in a bright speech, spoke at some length on future hopes and plans. The thought tends towards the establishment of a cooking school. A banquet will be given at the home of Mrs. Wallace some time next week which will formally close the meetings. The Fortnightly club of this city has been studying Holland. The Quabbia club of Enfield, Mass., has been con sidering the same subject. Their calen dar is ornamented by a quaint little Dutch girl in apron and kerchief, with her sturdy little shoes peeping out from under her long gown. At every meet ingot the Quabbin club a pertinent poem is recited. In this way it has listened to Longfellow's "The Belfry of Bruges," Browning's "flow they brought the good news from Ghent to Aix." Ada laide Proctor's "A tomb at Ghent," Holme's "The pilgrims' vision" and "Rob inson of Leyden." For a meeting devot ed partly to Delft and its potteries, Continued on Page Q.
