A Van Brocklin, unicle of the young
lady with the "Breezy Times" com
pany, states that the newspaper report
concerning the likelihood of Miss Ethel
leaving the company because of her
parents' objeotions to a theatrical life,
Is hardly correct. The story started by
a telegram which was received by Mr.
Van Brocklin from the girl's father, in
which the young lady's uncle was
asked to take her back to Livingston
and await her father's arrival from the
Fast. It appears that Miss Ethel, who
Is-only 16 years of age, is in charge of
tio members of the company, a man
ahd wife, who exercise a parental au
'thority over her. When she reached
Livingston the vigilance of her guar
dians was relaxed and she improved
tlteh opportunity by buying ice cream
a.d candy galore for her cousins and
their friends and eating largely of the
a'Sres of the confectionery herself.
When the girl reached Bozeman the
fqliowing day she was taken violently
IH. and wrote a letter to her father
asklng if sahe should break her con
t5ct and come home. Her parents were
not much in favor of her being on the
stage, and accordingly a telegram was
sgpt to her uncle at Livingston asking
hnm to have the little dancer come here
until her father arrived to take her
home. Following the first letter, how
ever, Ethel sent a second saying she
was much better and the wide world
didn't look so dark as it did, when she
was suffering from indigestion, and she
would like very much to go on with the
company.

In Bozeman.
Bozeman, Sept. 30.-Almost without
cessation the mad whirl of social events
continue. For more than a year last
past there has not been a week but
what somebody has entertained in one
way or another, and neither the rigors
of winter nor the heat of summer seem
to deter society lovers from enjoying
an "afternoon" or a social game of
whist. During the past two weeks
there have been about six or seven af
ternoon receptions, and it is not likely
the end is yet.
Last Friday evening Mrs. Nelson
Story, er., assisted by her two daugh
ters, Mrs. Nelson Story, Jr., and Mrs.
Byron Story, entertained a number of
the members of the Bozeman society at
the Story residence on Main street. The
a*idsl srpas very prettilyr decorated
-with a est peas, each room having a
quantity. Of those sweet-scented and
many-hued flowers at every convenient
point. The ladies amused themselves
by drawing, with the left hand, upon
a card an object of some kind, accord
ing to the fancy of the drawer, and the
best artist of the afternoon received a
very pretty picture of a cat, neatly
framed. A handsome and life-like
drawing of "Little Boy Blue," by Mrs.
J. W. Mardis, was adjudged by the
critics to be the most artistic piece of
work of the day, and so the prize was
awarded to her. During the afternoon
dainty refreshments, consisting of sal
ad, Saratoga chips, pickles, olives, ice
cream, cake and coffee, were served to
the guests, of whom the following is a
list:
Mesdames Chamblis, Benepe, Owen

On Wednesday afternoon of this week
Mesdames John McDonnell and H. M.
Kirk gave a very enjoyable afternoon
at the residence of Mrs. H. M. Kirk,
some two miles from town. An unusu
ally good time was spent by the guests
about the grounds and beneath the
pretty shade trees. Among other
things, the ladies were told by their
hoatesses that in various unknown
places, and nooks and corners quite a
number of china eggs and crab apples
had been hidden, and that the one who,
in a given time, should discover the
most, should be rewarded with three
dishes of ice cream. All joined in the
hunt with a will, and as fast as one
lady discovered another had an egg or
an apple she would inform several more
and then there would be an exciting
chase for the ownership of the egg or
apple. Sometimes one la'dy would have
several eggs and apples, but in a few
moments she would have none. How
ever, at the end of the afternoon's fun
it'was found that Mrs. C. M. Chamblls
had the largest number of apples and
Mrs. D. W. Mackenzie quite a few eggs,
so the result was declared a tie. Each
one guessed the time of day, for the ice
cream, and the victory was won by
Mrs. Chamblls. The house was very
tastefully decorated with asparagus
fern. sweet peas, aetois and other flow
ers in honor of the occasion. Delicious
refreshments were served during the
afternoon and heartily enjoyed by the
guests. Among other enjoyable events
of the afternoon was the recitation by
Mrs. Steffins of "Nearer My God to
Thee." The ladies present were:

Wi~~aouF
With the coming of October. the
month of sere and yellow *leaves and
fading flowers, the club season is again
ushered in after a pleasant vacation
spent in the mountains, at the sea
shore or in some quiet rural home, the
club women return, with renewed en
thusiasm, to the work which was so
gladly laid aside in the spring. How
good it seems to be together once
again! The cheery word of greeting
and the sympathetic hand-clasp fill one
with an unbounded love for all hu
manity and a faith, not to be shaken,
in the organization which teaches that
itL is noble to give but far nobler to
share. The women's clubs have out
grown the mere literary features and
now the club is poor indeed that does
not abound in goodfellowship.
It is true that mistakes are made and
hopes are not always realized. As one
woman puts it, "If the work has been
well done, it is because someone, many
a one, has been wiil.ng to make person
al sacrifice, and in spite of every ob
stacle, in ,the face of every discourage
ment, remain devotedly at the post of
duty. If all has not been done that
was hoped for, it is simply because
some, from selfish motives, have either
blocked the wheels by petty action or
indifferently stood aloof for lack of
devotion to the interests of woman
hood."
Every club woman owes a duty to
her club, herself and to the officem
whose untiring energy keep the ma
chinery of the organization in running
order. During the summer vacation
their work goes on, and now at the
beginning of another year everything
is in readiness. The least every Indi
vidual can do is to cheerfully and loy
ally help put into practice the plans
thus formulated. Don't think because
you hold membership in a club and
pay your dues you are ,truly a club
woman. A drone occupies a space, but
neither contributes to nor receives the
blessings emanating from associations
with women of noble aspirations.
Gradually changes have been wrought
in the scope of the woman's club. Just
as much thought is given 'to the study
part, though a decided inclination has
been shown to keep in touch with top
ics of the day and of practical use
rather than to dip here and there into
musty records and legends. The so
cial feature is of equal importance,
since it is the means by which the club
women are brought into closer commu
nication with one another. 'The pur
pose of club life is, if you have greater
knowledge finer culture, do not ex
clude those who have less, but include
and share, and thus find in it its di
vinest sweetness. Mutualism is the
word. Let none say 'I have no need of
thee.' "
It is unworthy of any true woman,
and especially of a club member, to
talk of a club being "mixed" and there
fore impossible in the way of social
enjoyment. The woman of good birth,
education and true culture never says
this of the humblest creatures. In
stead, she knows that in the sight of
her Creator all are equal, and if her
lot has been cast in pleasant places
all the greater is her responsibility in
living, realizing that the gifts and
blessings are only lent to her that seeds
of mercy and joy may be sown.
Therefore, if such idle remarks are
bandied about, let not envy nor dis
content enter, rather pity "the woman
who gives utterance to such unworthy
thought, since hers cannot be a happy
heart.
It is said that more club work has
been accomplished this summer than
ever before. There have been a great
number of vacation schools and kinder
gartens managed by club women and
many city and private parks have been
beautlfled and thrown open to the coti
mon people.
The general federation is moving on
ward. It has adopted the Club Woman
as its official organ.. Mrs. William B.
Lowe of Atlanta, Ga., the G. F. W. C.
president, is in Paris and has called a
meeting of the honorary members who
live in Parts in order to confer with
them concerning the work of organiz
ing clubs there. The general federation
will make an exhiblt at the Paris ex
position. Mrs. William Tod Helmuth
of New York is chairman of the com
mittee. They are said to be busy work
ing on their plans and will soon be
ready to make some announcements of
interest. There will be a local com
mittee in Paris to attend to the details
of arrangement.
The latest thing in federation Is dis
trict federation. It was found that
there were hundreds of women who
through lack of time or money, or In
terest, had never attended either a
meeting of the general federation or
their own state body. It was thought
that the advantages of these larger or
ganizations would be appreciated by
a larger number of women, if they
were once brought into actual contact
with the work. In some states the dis
trict federations are organized acord
Ing to congressional districts. In oth
ers the districts are sub-divided when
the space covered has been too large.
All 'this federating and sub-federating
indicates the trend the woman's club
is taking. Exclusiveness is waning.
In Montana the club spirit is growing,
the past two years have brought many
changes. A desire for a state organi
zation certainly exists; it only needs a
little enthusiasm and definite action to
become a relization. Every club wom
an should take a club magaz'ne and
read the local club column. The whole
scheme of club life among womet :s
so vast, so grand, one must certainly
read the literature on the subject to
understand its workings. The scoffer
and indifferent are the ignorant ones.
To all the clubs in ,the state the chair
man of correspondence sends grcet'noe
and best w:shes for the com;ng year
and most cordially invites correspond
ence.
At the Minnesota state fair held in
Mineapolis In September, the state fed
eration established quarters. There
were exhibits' from the different clubs
and music furnished each day. The
newspapers in commenting say it was
a pleasant innovation and heartPiy ap
preciated by visiting club women and
their friends.
'"he secret of success is constancy
of purpose."
Inscribed upon the fly-leaf of the
beautiful calendar issued by the Homer
club of Butte is the above truism. The
club was organized in 1891 and federat
ed in 1895. That it has had a fair meas
ure of success is shown by the continu
ous years of existence. The club officers
for 1899-1900 are Mrs. Jennie H. Moore,
who faithfully served in that capacity
for several, years; vice president
Emma Irwine Wellcome; secretary, R.
Louise Busch. To the splendid judg
ment and knowledge of the committee
on programme, Mrs. Lina H. Speer,
chairman; Luta P. Hendricks and
Lenore Weirick. the club is indebted
for an excellent outline of study of
German history and literature and
miscellaneous topics for special days.
The club convenes on Mionday October
2. Current topics are divided into de
partments of literature, art, music and
drama, national news, foreign news,
science, philanthropy and miscellany.
The first days subjects treat of the
ancient Germans, their country, cus
toms and religion, followed by a discus
saon of the work for the coming year.
Vacation reminhiscences are a pl asant
feature of the opening day. Besides the
papers arranged for each day there
hs also an oral sketch of some noted
person, city or river. Last year the
Homer enjoyed frequent social days,
and they proved so pleasant and so
profitable the programme committee
has arranged for regular social days
once each month. The entire member
ship Is divided into groups for this
purpose, the plan being that the club
shall be entertained by the chairman
of each group at her home, assisted
by her associates. Some of the sub
jects for the social days are "The Music
of Germany," "An Afternoon With
Dickens," "Science Day," "Art Day,"
"Magazine Day" and "Montana Day."
Just how these sujects will be treated
Is left to the originality of each group.
The plan is entirely new and sure to
be interesting.
For the benefit of the members a list
of suggested readings is given. For
,the benefit of individuals and other
clubs who may be interested in the
study of Germany we publish the list:
W. Scherer-"History of German
Literature."
ltppolo-MeaiaevaI uerman r.pmso.
HIosmer-"History of German Liter
ature."
B. Taylor-"History of Germany."
Baring Gould-"History of Nations."
(Germany).
Henderson-"History of Germany."
P. V. N. Myers-"Mediaeval and Mod
emrn History."
George P. Fisher-"Outlines of Uni
versal History."
Victor Duruy-"Hlstory of the Mid
dale Ages."
James Bryce--'he Holy Roman Em
pire."
The Atlas club of Butte has sent out
an attractive calendar, with a pale
green cover and gold lettering tied with
a plain white silk cord. The subject
matter is of a miscellaneous character.
During October the geographical sub
ject is Montana, its rivers, towns, flora
and fauna; the literary subject, Shake
speare, with current topics each day.
Three months of the year the time is
about equally divided between the prin
cipal cities of 'the United States and
American men of letters. The rest of
the year is given to the study of foreign
cities and literature and a number of
topics of general interest. The pro
gramme as a whole is quite unlike any
yet brought to our notice, but such an
one as many club women are strongly
in favor of. Whether the attempt to
cover so much ground will be of last
ing benefit must be a matter of opin
ion; at any rate each day's work can
not fall to be exceedingly interesting,
as interesting to the visitor who may
happen to drop in as to the regular at
tendant.
Two subjects to be presented might
with profit be taken into consideration
by all clubs, "History of the Club Move
ment" and "Qualities the Club Presi
dent Should Possess." The former is
too rarely read and talked about in the
clubs,while a lively discussion of the
latter might bring forth some amus
ing incidents.
The club holds its first meeting of the
year on Friday, Oct. 6, and opens with
reading of the constitution and by-laws.
Another good idea which might in most
clubs be repeated at frequent intervals
throughout the year if a penalty could
be exacted from those not listening.
It is a rule of the club to change the
officers each year and thus distribute
equally the honors and responsibilities.
For the year 1899-1900 Mrs. Georgia W.
Beckwith is president, Mrs. Jane Hall
vice-president, and Mrs. Flora B. Wish
on secretary and treasurer. The com
mittee on pro ra me is Mrs. Mary C.
Daum and Mi . eorgia W. Beckwl'h.
One of the dainty calendars of the
Woman's Literary club of Anaconda
has found its way to our table. The
cover is of a splendid quality of cream
crepe paper, the lettering in copper and
it is tied with green ribbon, copper,
green and cream being the club colors.
The club was founded in 1898 by Mrs.
Frederick W. Peckover and Mrs. Fran
cis E. Sargeant. The officers, which
also comprise the executive board, are
as follows: President, Mrs. F. W. Peck
over; vice-president, Mrs. H. R. White
hill; second vice-president, Mrs. T. D.
Fitzgerald; recording secretary, Mrs.
D. J. Macdonald; corresponding secre
tary, Miss Anna Sutherland: treasurer.
Mrs. A. M. Walker; critic, Miss Eliza
beth L. Thomson; chairman of pro
gramme, Mrs. W. H. Dorchester.
Turning over the pages of this book
let, the first quotation seems as an in
spiration, "What makes life dreary 1a
the want of motive." How true this is
only they who bask in the sunshine of
each day's pleasure and drift with the
tide can say. A few more leaves and
encouragement is found in the senti
ment of the programme committee,
"They can who think they can."
The course of study is France from
1715 to July, 1900, and current events.
The opening day is October 7; after the
transaction of 'the usual business crmes
the president's address, then vacation
reminiscences and letters from absent
members. Nov. 25 is Guest Day. The
social events of the club are under :.he
management of a social committee. For
Feb. 24 two lectures are arranged, one
on the Franco-Prusesian war by J. H.
Durston, and the other on the forma
tion of the Third republic and the
early presidents by M. A. Stapleton.
The plan adopted for carrying out the
study of the year is by papers, dis
cussions, talks, conversations and the
question box.
For April 21 the debate, "Resolved,
that the hand that rocks the cradle
helps guide the ship of state," promises
to be of special interest if one may
judge from the names of those partici
pating. For the affirmative Mrs. Black
stone and Mrs. Maiden will speak; the
negative, Mrs. Lamson and Mrs. Cox.
April 28 is Reciprocity day; May 5, an
nual election of officers; June 2, 'club so
cial; June 30, adjournment. The club
has a long list of active members, an
associate and an honorary membership.
The name of Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst of
San Francisco, Cal., heads the honor
ary list.
Clubs throughout the state are re
quested to send their calendars to the
state chairman of correspondence. G.

The Woman's club of Butte has
chosen for its year's work the study of
Italy. The calendar issued has the
same cover as previous ones; the en
tire booklet is carefully and systemat
ically arranged. The first meeting of
the year will be held in the club room
in the Presbyterian church on Wednes
day, Oct. 4, at 2:30 p. m. The club from
the first took a decided stand in favr\r
of rotation in office. If there is honr
in holding an important position, then
justice demands that each member
should be given a chance. If there is
only labor attached to high places then
justice equa'ly demands that each meat
ber should assume her share of the bur
dens. In harmony with this principle,
the club begins its third year with an
entirely new staff of officers. Mrs. F.
P. Hoobrook is the efficient president;
Mrs. George T. Colyar, vice-president;
Mrs. Philip Wiseman, recording secre
tary; Mrs. A. S. Leys-Christie, cor
responding secretary; Mrs. H. P. Heid
rick, treasurer: Mrs. J. R. Wharton,
chairman of membership; Mrs. A. C.,
Newilt. chairman pro tem of pro
gramme. Ifeside current events there
are five departments, namely, litera
ture, social and domestic science, art,
mu,.ic and tourist. The literature de
partment has met during the summer,
and in its private meetings is reading
Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar." The
first day's entertainment consists of
the president's address, "Tales From
Our Travelers." and two papers fur
nished by members of the literature de
partment. During the year special ar.
rangement has been made sor the dis
cussion of important parliamentary
rules and topics of the times.
Unfortunately no regular provision
has been made for social events but
undoubtedly the club will later arrange
for entertainments, since open meetings
have been regular and popular features
of the club year.
The first regular meeting of the third
season of the Woman's club will be
held at 2:30 p. m. next Wednesday in
the club room in the Presbyterian
church. After the annual address by
the president, Mrs. Holbrook, the club
will listen to tales from our travelers,
describing other clubs which they have
visited. The literature department will
open its year's work with a paper by
Mrs. Beer, whose topic will be "Some
Italian Heroes and Heroism." "Italian
Masques"' will be described by Miss
Turnley.
