Show Society JKUNE MERE CLUB MKMISKRS WERE GUESTS of Mrs. Faye Lundquist at her home on Wednesday evening, and the program centered around the children's poets, Walter de LaMar, A. A. Milne, Edward Lear, Robert Louis Stevenson, Eugene Field, etc. "What else have you got in your pocket?" said Ernest Rhys. He was addressing the children's poets as he compiled his "Anthology of Nonsense," which was read in part' to club members. "There's more where that came from," he said, and Cleo Pierce Heavener, who gave the lesson, recommended that members find "more of a muchness" much-ness" of the things that interested them. She showed them a number of huge scrapbooks one called the brown book, make up of "things with magic in them." Another one of roses, pictures, poems and quotations quo-tations entirely about roses. There was one about Alice In Wonderland, Wonder-land, another about the joys of childhood and one entirely about Rosabelle, also Tex and the Brigadier Briga-dier General Cousin Bun and a number of other members of the Lilliputian Court. The club members paid high court to the dolls, especially the fairy folk. One little naneen, Becas-sine, Becas-sine, newly added, was the favorite favor-ite because Becassine is the very essence of stupidity in all its guises and yet is loved about continental Europe in legend and story as much as Cinderella and Red Riding Hood are with us. Concluding the club meeting tasty refreshments were served by the hostess. Selfishness never built ' a town into a city; let all the people in Springville work together unselfishly unsel-fishly and we will be on the right road. . CAMP MAPLETON, D. U.
