At the be. glnlng of the year, I realised how much there was to be done and how much might be accomplished wlta our largs mrmbershlp. I had high Ideals arid gueots by Miss Lillle Habersham and "t"t that we have not been able to Mrs. C. R. Morse. A delightful even ing was enjoyed by all present. Arranging for Astoria Day. B. D. StrauhaL the traveling repre sentative of the Lewis and Clark ex position, wsa lit the city yetoterdby making arrangements with Mayor Sur- prenant to secure a larg delegation of Astorlans at the fair on Astoria day. Mr. Strauhal states that manv realise them more full;-. If all the members enrolled had worked as earn estly as the faithful few have done, we would have many fine things to show for our year of effort. I believe it is true of every organi sation, that after three or four yeera of experience, the work devolves upon the few who are really In earnest This at least has been true of the Woman's Club. Taking Into consideration the number who have stood the test and mfi- ill I V fh53 Irr M . ' i.l - i It ' , that people come here for the finest ready-to-wear Clothing. We won first position for best qualities years ago. . , ; But don't think us "High Toned" jut because out Clothes look and are so much superior toothers. Our Suits at J SO a o look equally as good and wear as well as those you pay twenty to twenty-five dollars for elsewhere. No difierence except in the price. Good qualities are ao low in price that to buy the unreliable "Just-as-good" kind is a real extrava gance, r $ Two Piece Suits W-,JE,D "?" 10.OO er Suit. P. A. ..

The Shirt Waist Season is Here And It Didn't Catch Us Napping 1 We have been preparing ourselves for this occasion for months past.

Some New Japanese Wash Silk Waists., Tha Foard & Stokes Co. Astoria's Greatest Store. Where New Things Make Their Debut and themselves, I feel that the work ,of the past year haa be?n succc(ii' In many respects. Our open meetlnr and the social side of our work has been successful to a gratifying iegre?. The attendanec has been large and the entertainment fTred on those occas ions has undoubtedly been appreciat ed. The ladles in that line of work have every reason to fiel proui of their success. The thoroughness with which they carried out their plans U mot commendable. Whether this attract ive side of the club life will result in an increased membership remains to be seen. My greatest disappointment have been the lack of Interest In the lec tures and the small attendance at cur regular meetings. We have had some of the best of Oregon tafcnt at our disposal and a variety f subjects o claim our Interest. Those who have been instrumental In arranging our lecture course have reason to feel sat isfied that they have supplied Astoria with material of highen educational value In spite of the apparent lock or appreciation on the part of our peo ple. The programs offered by our ciut members and local friends have lieeti In j ructlve and exc(;ent and tho who failed to Improve tho opportun ities to enjoy them are loosers Indeed. I have rason to feel delighted with the work of the study class this year. The membership has been smaller than I had anticipated but the Interest and enthusiasm of the members has more than compensated for the small number. Thf-y have developed promptness and regularity In attend anec which is worthy of note. They have shown an Interest In the study of Russia and Japan which has given everything connected with those coun tries an added value and at the final meeting were unanimous In the opin ion that the work of the year had been Instructive and Interesting in the hlgh- st degree. Already plans are made to continue the Bay View course next year. This study class has been to me one of the mot gratifying and delight ful parts of the club life and the In terest of the class members has been an Inspiration that cannot be measured. The work of the traveling library has been quietly progressing this year. The one committee member has rear ranged the boxes and sent new col lections of books to Svensen and Fort Stevens. About 20 new books have ben added this year, as a result or the kindness of the Astoria public li brary association and a few interested friends. The civic Improvement committer has shown an active interest in its de: partment. The committee meeting have been well attended and the mem bers hfiujv shown a commendable in terest The failure of the commute to have any large monument to its en (f avors Is largely djUe to the fact almost everything which tha ladles suggested doing themselves for tha Im provfmint of the city. The club has been commended for Its work In put ting up antl-expectorating signs which seem to a large extent to have the desired effect Projects are under way to arrange for placing benches In the attractive public localities and the Improvement of lb4 condition of the Hillside cemetery Is under considera tion. Further efforts have been made to locate a dumping ground, but with out result. The Interests of the mem bers of the committee In their woik has been commendable. There still remains a large sum at their disposal, for this work. The general club membership num bers 5. Several have withdrawn their names and seven new ones have been added. The financial condition of the club is at rather a low ebb, owing largely to the carelessness of club members to pay their dues. A little thoughtfulness In this respect Is urged on club members.
