THE EVENING TIMES, GRAND FORKS, N. D.
N. Dakota Federation of Women's Clubs
Past, Present and Future of State's Foremost Women's Organisation,
The North Dakota Federation Wo
men's clubs was organized at the
Chatautaqua at Devils Lake in June.
1S97, by about fifteen club women who
represented clubs in Grand Forks,
Fargo, Lisbon, Wahpeton and Devils
Lake, also Cando. Mrs. Conant, who
was then one of the vice presidents of
the Minnesota State Federation, was
present and organized the state feder
ation. Mrs. Jeanle S. Tuller of Fargo
was elected the first president, and
Mrs. Lottie B. Sowles of Wahpeton
was the first secretary.
Is due to her efforts that a library
has been started in Minot.
Mrs. Grant S. Hager, who is now
general federation secretary, was re
cording secretary for two terms which
office she graced with her sweet man
ner and is a general favorite with
club women. Her husband is editor
of the St. Thomas Times and a great
many of her articles have been pub
lished in that paper, Just now her
historical sketch of the original
Pembina county, this state, which is
being published, is receiving very flat
tering coment in the various papers
in the state—she is bright and origin
al.
Mrs. H. S. Oliver, who was presi
dent for two terms and whom Mrs.
White suceeeds, is the most popular
club woman in the state to-day—as a
presiding officer she always used such
tact and diplomacy she endeared
herself to all with whom she came in
contact. What is said of Mrs. White
is only too true with Mrs. Oliver, she
is a womanly woman, not a new wo
man, but a home woman. She also
has two sons who are young men.
She has been connected with club
work in Lisbon for many years and
she and her husband are pioneers of
North Dakota, Mr. Oliver is now post
master of Lisbon. She shows excep
tional executive ability and is a most
charming woman every way.

"SERGEANT KITTY."
Pretty music, clever comedy, pic
turesque characters and splendid
equipment of "'Sergeant Kjitty" the
brightest and most original comic
opera to be seen here this season.
Helen Byron is a dainty and coquet
tish charmer that leaves no heart In
her audience unwoh. The comedians,
James McFlhearn and Tom Hadaway
keep everyone bubbling with mirth for
three all too short houre. This dash
ing little military opera concerns the
comic
Bide
of French army life and
involves the love affairs of three
couples introducing the scheme of a
winsome, headstrong girl who loves
an officer and is determined to have
her way despite the opposition of an
equally headstrong aunt who has a
love affair of her own to manage. A
couple, already married in secret, are
drawn into the resulting troubles, and
there is a merry comedy of errors that
all ends happily. Every character in
the cast is in competent hands we are
promised, and the general en-semble
is simply delightful. Bewitching
"Kitty" as played by Helen Byron
with her wiles and smiles, every song
she sings is tuneful. "Love" Is es
pecially so, as is also her duette with
"Lucien." "Love laughs at Lock
smiths." There is no lack of music
or song in "Sergeant Kitty," nor is
there lack of costume and scenery to
please the eye. Particularly are the
costumes attractive as the majority
of them are of the military of a period
in French history, when the dress was
most picturesque in color and cut
"Sergeant Kitty" is the offering on
Thursday, Dec. 27 at the Metropolitan
theatre.
