P CLUB NOTES
THE WEEK'S REVIEW
On Monday evening November 2j,
Fniulein Bertha Gerlcke. formerly ot
Berlin, now of Lincoln, gave a most
delightful concert at the Congrega
tional church under the auspices of the
Woman's Club of this place. The pro
gram of the evening was varied and
pleasing, and gave the singer an oppor
tunity to display the power and sweet
ness of her voice. Miss Gerlcke has a
vocal class in this city, and her work
is highly appreciated by her pupils.
She was assisted in the evening pro
gram by three members of her class
Miss Xelle Chens, Miss Bess Anderson
and Mrs. W. E. Langworthy. Miss
Mertie Anderson accompanied the
singers. Miss Gerieke's voice Is a sweet
mezzo soprano, and her charming per
sonality, added much to the enter
tainment. After the concert a recep
tion was held at the spacious home of
Mrs. Herman Diers, where frienJs
were given an opportunity to meet
Miss Gerlcke. The lovely dining room
was made more attractive by special
decorations in the club colors and light
refreshments were served.
Miss Bouton of the Domestic Science
and Home Economics Department at
the state university, visited the Seward
Woman's Club at its monthly meeting
on Saturday afternoon. This meeting
was adjourned from the parlor, the reg
ular place of meeting, to the hotel din
ing room to permit Miss Bouton to
make some practical demonstrations in
the preparing of a number of simple
but nutritious dishes. She gave a
pleasant talk and advanced the tljeory
that to make the perfect home, the
home maker should make all things
pertaining to the home her study. She
congratulated the Seward Woman's
Club on the large membership, the ac
tive interest shown and promised her
aid in every way to assist them in
their work. The Woman's Club shows
a membership of nearly one hundred,
which embraces young ladies, and some
of the dear grandmothers of our town,
who show as intense an interest as
their daughters and granddaughters.
This is as it should be. The blending
of all ages, people of different ideas,
into a large club for the town and
plan for its development in all ways.
The household economics department
is rehearsing for a Christmas play to
be given before the Woman's Club at
the home of Mrs. Herman Diers. A
food exchange will be conducted at this
meeting and the whole program will be
of the Christmas tide.

The program at the Matinee Musi
cale Monday was a brilliant one as is
apt to be the case when opera music is
presented. The third division, Mrs. E.
Lewis Baker and Miss Giens leaders,
was on the stage but as Miss Givens
left town two weeks ago the responsi
bility rested upon Mrs. Baker, who
carried it with her usual ability. The
opening choruses were among the best
ever given by a division. The vocal
soloists, Mrs. Jansen, Mrs. Baker, and
Miss Gericke, are all possessed of the
qualities which characterize a success
ful dramatic singer and their parts
were all well taken. The duet from
Der Freischutz which closed the pro
gram was beautifully rendered. Miss
Eiche's selection was played with
power and expression. Miss Perkins
had not been heard in the club for
more than a year; the warmth of the
applause when she stepped upon the
stage proved her a general favorite
and she was recalled after her exquis
ite presentation of the quartet from
Rigoletto. The following was the pro
gram: " Chorus (a) "Dark Care and Sorrow,"
(Huguenots act I), Meyerbeer; (b)
Smoking Song (Carmen act I), Bizet.
