We know that many people hesitate ta
spend their money for medicines adver

g IN SOCIETY, g
woman’s club meeting.
Notwithstanding the rain a
majority of the members of the
Woman’s club answered to roll
call at the meeting held with
Mrs. Geo. Sink yesterday after
noon, and the program presented
was of the usual interest and in
struction. Mesdames S. M. Beat
tie and C. H. Wilmans read five
minute papers on “The Yellow
Van” and “The Lions of the
Lord.” Since there is an art in
being able to condense matters
in a' complete and interesting
manner these papers deserve to
be called very excellent. A splen
didly written paper, “Katherine
of Arragon,” by Miss Slaughter
of Conway, was read by the sec
retary to fill the vacancy occur
ring from Mrs. C. R. Hite’s ab
sence. Mrs. W. A. Billingsley
also being absent, “The Ring and
the Book,” a paper of high merit
written by Mrs. W. E. Bevens of
Helena, was read and proved a
rare treat. “Children’s Litera
ture,” by Mrs. R. T. Robertson,
was very much enjoyed. A good
number of the club members are
mothers and an exchange of ideas
on this subject is of much value.
“The Most Enjoyable Book ot
the Year,” by Mrs. L. E. Willis,
was par excellence, and she con
vinced all that “Rebecca of Sun
ny brook Farm” is the most en*
joyable book of the year. Mrs.
R. M. Johnson read a sonnet,
A. v • i i _____
alter which sue gave buiim? wup
lets, thus proving herself to be
right much of a poetical genius.
A discussion, “Is an Author Jus
tified in Ending a Book Tragic
ally ?” concluded the program.
Mrs. T. B. Stewart, as leader of
the discussion, possesses the
happy faculty of being able to
speak extemporaneously, and her
argument that an author is justi
fied in ending a book as he pleases
was thoroughly good. The next
meeting will be with Mrs. T. B.
Stewart on the 13th of January,
1905. Reporter.
