"Tho Reformation in Holland" was tlm subject of a very interesting paper read by Mrs. M, R.

The next mooting will bo with Mrs. Gibson 1111 G Btroot. of the spirit pervading this club which sent its president 4G3 miles to tho state federation meeting at York. Fifty ihiIob of that distanco Mrs. Wolt drovo. Sho told mo that eho felt amply repaid for hor tinn, troublo aod real sacrifices. She hoped to tnko back, inspiration, en thusiasm nnd nov ideas that might bon otit her club and incroase tho interest in its meetings. Tim year tho Gering club is taking a journoy through the Uniti d States, studying itB physical geography, its resources and possibilities for the future. Each fifth meeting is devoted to parliamentary practice. If there is a now year book issued by the executive board o? the state feder ation, would it not be well to include in it a printed notice of a proposed chango in the by-laws by which provision will be made whereby the corresponding sec retary will be appointed by the president instead of elected by tho federation? That tho president may receive the full benefit of such a socrettry in the paBt they have been both elected from tho same city. This change was suggested at York, but no formal notice given, but a printed notice as suggested above would bo sullicient. in chargo of the play grounds; the at tendants at three of them wore trained athletes. A greater variety of enter tainmonts woro provided this year. Tho girls wcro taught handiwork, weaving! basket making and other constructive work. Tho boys wero taught gymnae tics and foot ball. Several excursions wero given to the parks. The first week the grounds were kept open till 7 p. m. After G p. m. grown people came and bold Bocial gatherings, which gave rise to the question whether tho grounds should bo lighted at night so that la borers might enjoy themselves after their day's work. ' (Which none of her readers knew). Nebraska's banner club is found at ('jring, a Em ill town of only 500 inhab Hants located in tho northwestern part f tho stato. The ollicers of this club me: President, Mrs. Fred D. Wolt; vice prpsidout, Mrs. George B. Luft; Hucretnry.Mrs. J A Burton; correspond ing secretary, Mrs. E S. Wood; treas ure, Mrs. A. B. Wood. Around this club centore the social life of Goring and the surrounding country, members coming from long die sluices on club day, ono member coming K'tMilurly although hor homo is fourteen miles d.stant. That devotion is typical S x of tho city schools of Chicago maintained vacation schools tho past summer. Throe of thesa wero well at tended and wero under good discipline, while tho Kinzio school on the north side was compelled to close because tho boys weo en rough it was impossible to control them. Mr. Blything, who had charge of this school, had u rough and tumblo fight nearly overy day with some of the larger boys. The average daily attendance was 800. The most popular hours wore in the af ternoon. This year tho schools have been more succeeefuly conducted than over beforo becuueo a better corps was At tho state federation convention tho soesion devoted to the "Educational Symposium" wbb presided over by Mrs. A. W. Field, chairman of the educa tional committee. In her opening re marks she explained that sho bad en countered many difficulties in securing speakers for the subjects on her pro gram. Tho lady to whom she had as signed "Child Study" said she bad no children and none of her si6ters bad any Tho one asked to talk on "Household Economics" replied ehe had never kept bouse. Mr?. Field congratulated theie lad io? and their audiences for tbe'r wisdom in refraining from talking about thoso things of which they had no prac tical knowledge and read the following poem as illustrative of that point: THE SPOILER. (After the manner of Rudyard Kipling). By M. A. Frost and J. H. Caverno. A woman there was and the wrote for the press (As you or I might do). She told how to cut and fit a dress. And how to stew many a savory mew, But she had never done it herself, a guess Oh, the hour we spent, and the flour we spent, i And the sugar we wasted like sand, At the hest ol a woman who never had cooked (And now we know that she never could cook), And did not understand. A woman there was and she wrote rteht fair (As you or I might do), How out of a barrel to make a chair, To be covered with chint and stuffed with hair, 'Twould adorn any parlor and give it an air! (And we thought the tale was true). Oh, the days we worked, and the ways we worked To hammer and saw and hack, In making a chair in which no one would sit, A chair in which no one could possibly sit. Without a crick in his back. A woman there was and she had her fun (Better than you and I); She wrote out recipes and she never tried one; She wrote about children-of course she had none She told us to do what she never had done (And never intended to try). And it tsn't to toil and It isn't to spoil That brim j the cup to disgrace It's to follow a woman who didn't know beans (A woman who never had cooked any beans), But wrote and was paid to fill space.
