Show Women's Clubs (Continued from Page Three.) you will agree with me that there Is room for more of the spirit in our own club. But don't leave It all to the committee speak to the woman beside you she may be waiting for you to speak to her. When I think back more than twenty twen-ty years to the time our honored past . president, Mrs. Parsons, brought me Into membership with this club, it seems now that the entire personnel must have been made up of the women wom-en I remember as trying to make me feel as though T were one of them in learning and experience and that they were my friends. Can you think how much this meant to a young woman in a strange country? Can you think how much It may mean to the stranger stran-ger with us today? There was a vacancy on the programme pro-gramme while I was yet very new in the club, and I- was asked to fill it. While I felt keenly my incompetence in appearing before this learned literary lit-erary body, yet T had joined the club and must do my best. But Ol that terrible experience! My voice seemed to me to take on. all the tones from falsetto to basso, my jaw became stiff and I thought of the terrors of lockjaw; the women's faces before me took on queer shapes, some square, some oblong, and almost all had an extra pair of eyes. Personal Incident Gives Encouragement. We had the choice in those days of either sitting or standing while giving giv-ing a topic I gave myself the benefit bene-fit of the doubt and sat. After it was all over, those dear women came, shook my hand and complimented me, and I was so pleased and so flattered flat-tered that it has only come to rte within recent years that I have never been asked to give a paper since. This is just a personal experience; many of the older members may have had a similar one, many new ones fear they may: but, friends, if I ever have had a criticism of this club, it has been that we took ourselves too seriously. I believe, however, that we are growing in, this regard, that we are learning that mistakes made, recognized, recog-nized, and corrected are part of the experience that means development; that defect in any undertaking faced with the same courage with which we would meet success only makes us stronger and more self-reliant; and, after all. neither defeat nor success suc-cess is lasting. The beginning of this club year presents a most promising outcome. You have enjoyed. I know, studying over this splendid programme as outlined out-lined in our beautiful new year book, and you are anticipating something particularly interesting In each afternoon's after-noon's study. Profound thought and painstaking care on the part of the committee are shown in the choice of each subject. It would seem that such topics and such capable people to handle them, mostly our own members, mem-bers, too, would enthuse us to the degree that every seat would be occupied oc-cupied promptly at 2:30 and we would never have an afternoon during the year that would be marred by vacant va-cant chairs that stare up at the speakers and possibly suggest to them that club loyalty is somewhat lacking lack-ing and this, too, after all the work", study and effort they have expended in preparing and giving these papers for our entertainment. Attendance Shows Appreciative Spirit. There are much larger clubs in this part of the country than ours; there are much wealthier ones, but there is none that gives better literary and musical programmes than are given right here in our own little club. Let us show our appreciation by our attendance. at-tendance. Let us make this a habit this year that will be a part of that much-talked-of and most necessary quality club conscience. Not only would I mention our splendid splen-did programme and programme committee, com-mittee, but each of the other committees com-mittees as well. In aslting these women to serve it was the greatest encouragement to have them respond with such willingness and enthusiasm, enthusi-asm, and several of the committees have been working during the sum-t,mer. sum-t,mer. The finance committee has been helping in the collection of dues, and expects to assist our greatly burdened treasury during the year. The entertainment enter-tainment committee is a most promising prom-ising one and has held sufficient meetings meet-ings to have some interesting plans ready to present. Then you have evidence around you of . what the house committee has been doing, for all of the walls with the exception of this room have been retinted. The hospitality and efficiency effi-ciency committee has met and made many plans, and the other .committees are anxiously waiting to jump into the harness of club work. Each section sec-tion programme is so attractive that no matter to which section you may belong you wish that you might have joined a few more. Is this "not a most encouraging outlook? out-look? And yet your president feels a greater responsibility than she can express, a responsibility she could not even attempt to assume were ft not for the assurance of your loyal support sup-port and co-operation, your charity toward to-ward her many mistakes and faith in your kindly criticism. Confidence Is a wonderful thing; it is the basis of friendship. It Is essential essen-tial to happiness in the home, it means much in business or any undertaking un-dertaking worth while. Let us cultivate cul-tivate it in the club this year. Confidence Con-fidence in the good intentions of our fellow member; confidence in the reward re-ward of conscientious efort.
