during which the report of the district
federation of clubs was read.
The feature of the evening was the
president’s address, and it well fulfilled
the expectations of the members. It
was given without notes, in a clear,
well modulated voice, and was an in
spiration to all who heard it.
She began with a short synopsis of
* ‘ The Butterfiy, ’ ’ telling the story of
the man who owned the gorgeous but
terfly imprisoned in a casket of won
drous workmanship.
As the years passed, the owner, im
mersed _ in the sordid things of life,
gloated over the beauty of the casket
but forgot the contents, till one day he
opened the casket and it was empty—
the temple of the soul of the woman
was his only possession.
Unlike the man who allowed his but
terfly to remain inactive and lifeless, is
the club member who is trying to nour
ish and feed the soul within.
She asked the question, “What shall
we attempt to accomplish?” and an
swered it by saying the thing most de
sired by every club member, as well as
every individual, is happiness. This is
only to be attained by great love and
much service. She urged that, what
ever cause and interest the club as
sumes for the coming year, to give free
ly of our service and our love.
An outline of the year’s work was
given by Mrs. R. M. Herron.
The subjects for the year’s study are:
Mexico, and four programs correlating
painting, poetry and music.
The year books were distributed and

gram committee for their work.

adjournment, during which Miss Buch
holz was warmly congratulated upon
her most inspiring address.
A dainty salad course, with an ice,
carrying out a color scheme in yellow,
was served during the evening.
There was a full attendance, and
much enthusiasm evineed for the com
ing year’s work.
