One often hears the question asked.
To what purpose is all this work of club
women? Ie any real good accomplished
oris it Solely to give the women an "out
ing'' one afternoon each week?
Louisville, in Cass county, is a pretty
little village, boaBting of a population of
eonie seven hundred law-abidiDg citi
zens. Something like a year since, the
women a few of them in this little
town decided to organize a woman's
club.
In spite of adverse criticism the or
ganization was effected and today it is
m email factor for good in the commu
nity, and its members have answered
the question, "To what purpose is all
' this club work."
Not long after this little club had
joined the state federation, the members
tenan to look about for some practical
work,
They decided to open a free reading
room and sta.t a public library. Each
member of the club pledged the sum of
one dollar and a committee was ap
pointed to canvass the town with a sub
scription paper.
One hundred dollars was in their club
treasury as a result of their effortB. ana
early in the spring they opened their
little library room. Printed circulars
were distributed inviting everyone to at
tend the library opening.
The invitation ws so unique that I

Lincoln Woman's Club.
Mrs. Bushnell, president.
There is a vigorous movement among
the club circles, and those who were ap
pointed on the different committees
have returned from their summer out
ingB and are looking after that part of
the club work entrusted to their care.
The womau's club holds the first
meeting of the year October 14th. and
it is hoped a large membership will be
pr. sent to give their names for the new
year book that will bo printed early in
the year.
Some of the charter members who
have not been active for some time will
be with us, and an effort is being made
to secure all the charter members now
resident in the city as active members,
with perhaps an honorary list of those
away.
The plans for the ensuing yepr are
nearly complete, and a review of the pro
grams as they have been handed to the
president to be paBsed on to the year
book committee show a most careful
preparation on the part of the leaders
of the several departments, and, particu
larly from a practical standpoint, merit
much approval. Few, perhaps, realize
the amount of labor it requires on the
part of the leaders to prepare the year's
program and see that it is properly exe
cuted, and they are deserving ot much
encouragement in the way of more
helpers and more good listeners.
A few changes have benn made, the

The board meeting of the Iowa state

Twelve responsible positions in the

The program of the coming meeting
of the Nebraska Federation of Women's
Clubs is completed, and was printed and

The meeting will be held at Wayne
October 8 -11 by invitation ot the Wayne
Town Federation. The First Presby

meeting place, the lecture room ot which
will be reserved for the exhibit of pho-
Ciub women in all parts of the coun
try are interested in the preparations
the California women are making to en
tertain the genet al federation next
spring at Los Angeles, and the change
in the date from April 24 to May 1 is
generally accceptable. In most of the
Oppor- Iocal organizations April is the month
of annual elections, which made the
former date an awkward one for Chica
go club women, says the Record-Herald.
In addition to this, many women here,
as elsewhere, desire to attend the
gathering of the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution, to be held in Denver
the last week in April, and the change
will enable them to be present at both
conventions. The Simpson auditorium
in nope street will be an admirable
place for the big convention.

history, Mrs. Brackett; literature, Miss
Harriett Towne; parliamentary, Mrs.
Eli Plummer; music, Miss Nelly LaII;
art, Miss Sara Hayden. Many of the
members have expressed a desire to
take advantage of the parliamentary
drill, and instead ot having a separate
session, it was decided that fifteen min
utes at each open meeting be devoted to
a drill, giving the entire club the advan

Following is the schedule for this
part of the work:
