The interest in the department was shown by the large audience in at tendance who were highly entertained by a varied and demonstrated program. We are all only children a little larger grown and an object lesson appeals to the sympathies and interest as a bare statement of facts cannot, so the very instructive papers were illustrated by the children themselves, who ectered into the spirit ot the occasion with that utter lack of self consciousness which so often mars the appearance of older children. The program was opened by Miss Oakley, who sang two charming songs. Mrs. Mary E. Hart then read a paper on "The Physical Child, Its In fluence on Character." Mrs. Hart showed a familiarity with the principles underlying this subject, which can only be obtained by careful thoughtful study. Mr. A. A. Scott then sang a solo, "Goodnight," in a sweet, clear tenor, for which he received a hearty encore. A group ot kindergarten children from Ninth and Z streets were then marched upon the Etage to the sound of music and sang their little songs. Especial interest was attached to these little tots, as they came from the north west district of the city, where dwell the foreigners who do not speak Eng lish, and all that the little ones know of it they have learned in the American schools. The next paper, by Miss Gallagher, was on "Creation of Ideals in Character Building," in which she showed the im portance of cultivating in the bojs and free graceful, ; brought hi8 beautiful battleship which he had modelled from diagrams given in the Sciential American.

The last paper for the afternoon on "Will Power and Its Development" was given by Miss Mary L. Fossler, in which she claimed that character and morality are duectly dependent upon will power. The next public meeting will be a musicals arranged by Miss Risser and a general reception will be tendered the members of the Woman's club at New Year's time. h5?

Nebr. m m A pleasant event of last week to the club women ot Plattsmouth was the meutiDg of the current literature and current topic department led by Mrs. Fellows and Mrs. Davis. Both ladies have a happy faculty ot holding the at tention and arousing the active interest of the members of their departments and Friday evening's program was ex ceptionally interesting. Some good music, vosal and instrumental, by Misses Fletcher and Hasec, and a flne recita tion by Miss Mauzy, tended to lighten the program, which is sometimes in clined to heaviness owing to the charac ter of the subjects discussed. It 83ems to me as a general thing the average woman's club is too ambitious, their Mights are too lofty, they Boar and soar, and instead of the club being a rest and recreation to the tired woman, shs is obliged to maintain a feverish activity to keep pace and in touch with the sub jects under discussion. Friday even ing's session was very informal. Mrs. Fellows spoke of Hall Caine's visit to America and his outspoken sentiments that "American women had a rattling good time," read some exttacts and gave a little talk on current literature, t rs Wise reviewed, by request, the book "In His Steps" and gave her views as to the feasibility of mat ing the motto "What Would Jesus Do" the question and guide in all emergencies and important events that arise in ones life. Mrs. Stoutenborough spoke a short time on her recent visit to Kansas and Missouri and spoke in high terms ot the men of Missouri who stood behind the women's clubs ready always to give their assist ance when needed. It is fortunate the women of Nebraska are able to stand alone. We never heard of any men offering Nebraska clubs assistance with money or in any other way. Perhaps they are rendering silent homage, how ever, and we will remember that "com parisons are odiou6." I keep wander ing from my subject and my report is getting lengtiy but I must not omit the excellent parliamentary drill of Mrs. Davis and the fact that not one member of the club could answer the question "What is the number of the present congress." We were obliged to make the humiliating confession that we would have to ask a man. Mrs. Davis inaugurated a mass meeting, but owing to the late hour it was carried over for ar other meeting and the ladies were asked to sharpen their wits in anticipa tion. Dr Freda Linkton will speak on 'Heredity" at the next club meeting at which the child study department will furnish the program. Or Dec. 5 the York Amateur Musical club met at the usual time and place. Nearlv every member was present and an instructive and interesting program was rendered. Owing to the storm two weeks ago, the program to have been given on that day was given in part yes terday. The program in full was as follows: part 1. Biography of Beethoven Miss Cars cadden.
