the program for Friday evening and
"The Indian" furnished the topic for
discussion. The leader, Mrs. C. C. Par

absence. However, before the meeting
was placed in her charge, the election of
a delegate to the Biennial took place, re
sulting in Yrs. Byron Clark with Mrs.
Atwood as alternate being declared the
choice of the club. Mrs. Davis as presi

Mrs. J. G. Richie read an interesting
paper containing reminiscences of a trip
across the country where she had many
glimpses of the Indian in his native
wilds. Other entertaining papers were
read by Mesdames Rawls, EUon, Chap
man, Shipman and Streight on "The
cliff dwellers," "The Indian Territory,"
"Indian schools," "I:dian Massacres."
Many of the club members being old
settlers added their quota of information
regarding this much discussed and vexed
queption of the Indian. Mrs. Atwood
having recently returned from a trip to
Central America was called upon to give
some incidents of her trip which she did
in a delightfully entertaining manner.
