Dr. McGee .organized the four hun dred women nurses of the war. This is the first photograph of her ever published. evening with Mrs. K. M. Matthews.

Miss Blanche Mickey: corresponding secretary, Miss Olive Wallace: treasurer, Mrs. Haydn Meyer; chaplain, Mrs. Grace Deputy. Miss Ida Johnson and Mrs. Mary Mc Kinnon will represent the chapter at the state convention, which will be held In Wymore the first week In June. The home department of the Woman's club had one of the most charming meetings in its history on Thursday aft ernoon. The children of the department had been invited to be its guests on that day, and those members who hud no children of their own were requested to borrow some. The result was a gather ing of seventy little tots with bright eyes and rosy cheeks, who keenly en joyed Miss Caldwell's stories, the phono graph, the music box which played while they were eating, and above all the tee cream and small cakes with which they were regaled. Miss Helen Welch pre sided at a table which was adorned with tulips, and served the cream. This en tertainment was so successful that a similar one, for a different class of chil dren, will probably be given by the home department this spring. A quantity of cakes, not needed for the party, were sent to the home for the friendless. Mrs. M. H. Everett returned on Tues day from attendance at the congress of the Daughters of the American Revolu tion in Washington. Mrs. Everett re ports delightful weather for the con gress, and sessions much more har monious than the newspapers gave them credit for being. She spoke of the beauty of the new White House, partic ularly of the state dining room. The social functions in connection with the congress were very elaborate, especially that given by the board of lady manag ers of the St. Louis exposition, at the New Willard, to which President Roose velt, the foreign diplomats, and the members of congress were invited, and the reception at the Congressional li brary. The second annual report of the Mas sachusetts Civil Service Reform associa tion is out and Includes much that is of interest to club women, especially as the extension of civil service reform study in the clubs Is largely the result of agi tation and work of this association. Since the last annual meeting over 16, 000 pamphlets have been sent out to schools in twenty-five states and an effort is being made to Interest high school and even grammar school chil dren in the merit system of appoint ment. The society has now In press, in pamphlet form, a syllabus on civil serv ice reform written by Prof. Salmon, which Is to be sent to clubs throughout the country. The growing Interest of women's clubs on the subject, is com mented upon with satisfaction. Sorosis met with Mrs. E. H. Barbour on Tuesday. As the ladles came in singly and by twos and threes there was a pleasant air of anticipation about them that seemed to indicate that some thing of unusual Interest was about to take place. Nor were they disappointed, when, after the discussion of current events in response to roll call, Mrs. J. E. Miller, the president, acceded to the request of the club and gave an account of her recent Cuban trip. The journey through Florida, partly by boat, a brief stay at St. Augustine, the sail from Tampa and the entrance into the harbor of Havana, was the preliminary to the main topic. The many hues of brightly painted houses. the jail like appearance of some of the buildings, the narrow, rough, but clean ly streets were given as the first Im pressions received by the American tourist upon landing. A description was given of the fine architecture of cathe dral, .temple nn.l castle. The pictures que street vender with his heavily laden animal, the sentinel like palms which lined the Prado and the luxuriant growth of the Hibiscus were Hpoken of. The agricultural resources were said to be a surprise to one nnd especially the sleek well fed cattle to be seen grnz Ing everywhere. Much was said of the sugar Industry and the spirit of unrest existing among the people who are awaiting action on the treaty by the congress of the United States. It was Intimated that it was not dllll cult to obtain thorough knowledge of the entomology of the country and that one soon liccnine very famllnr with the habits and environment of th ant nnd the mosquito. The Interest of the narrative was MISS LIPPINCOTT. . . . Studio. Room 5. Bruwnell Hlix-k Lessons In Drawing. Pain tine. Pyroc raphy. Wood Carvlnc. Improved Chi.i.i Kiln. China decorated or find.
