Art Club Reception.
Last Saturday afternoon was guest
day for the Art club and a reception
was given at the residence of Mrs.
Amzi Stuart by members of the club
with quite a number of invited guests
Between forty and fifty ladies were
present with Mrs. Amzi Stuart, Mrs.
Jno. P. Sewell, Miss Anna Mary
Sewell and Miss Ruth Stuart acting
as hostesses. The rooms were de-
lightfully decorated with cut flowers.
A most pleasing program was had
consisting of piano solos by Mrs.
C. H. Bagg; Miss Mabel Warren sang
"Miserere” from 11 Trovatore and
Miss Vinnie Haynes gave a reading.
Master Gordon Bagg who }s but
seven years of age deilghted his
listeners with a number of piano se-
lections. The program was inter-
spersed by selected music on the
vietrola.
A program committee was appoint-
ed for the ensuing year consisting of
Mesdames Benson', Stuart, and Miss
Mabel Warren.
It was with much regret that the
Art club was forced to accept the
resignation of their instructor and
president, Mrs. Edna Stuart. Mrs.
Stuart has accepted the position or
hostess of the Alphi Pi Soroiy at
Washburn College in Topeka, Kans..
and will assume her position the first
week in October.
The class will meet once a week
for class work and hold their month-
ly socials on Saturday at 3 oclock.
There was quite an increase in
membership. Late in the afternoon
a delicious salad course with orange
ice was served by the hostesses.

her seven months stay in Alaska.

Birthday Party.
It is great to be four years old.
Master Jeff Vining experienced this
feeling Sept. 17, and had a real birth-
day party in the afternoon at his
home. A number of his little friends
came for two hours fun, each bearing
a pretty toy or gift for Jeff. A
large bifthday cake bearing four
lighted candles delighted the children
who had great fun in blowing them
out. The cake was then cut and
served with delicious ice cream.
