Historical Paper Read At The Last Meeting of the Ladies Club. The Ladies' Club, of Mon mouth, is entering upon the Hixth year of its existence. It first met in May, 190:1, and was organized tlio following month 11s the Lewis ami Clark Club of Monmouth with u small mem bership.' Mrs. Fisher and Miss Maggie Butler were elected pres ident and secretary. At subse quent meetings new members were added ami, at the election in November, 1504, Miss Butler was chosen president. The Club worked for and sent an exhibi tion to the fair. Its object being then attained, it adjourned in definitely, June 10, 1005, the last meeting being a most de lightful one, held on the lawn at the president's home. The gatherings had proven so enjoyable that when a meeting was called by the president in October to consider reorganiza tion, it was unanimously agreed to continue tho club under a new name. In due time it was decided to form u book club, eacn member contributing one . . 1 1 i i , noomi ear, xne oookb oeing circulated among the members. The number was limited to 20 and two meetings appointed for each month. The members were grouped into sections of four each, so that it fell to each sec tion to entertain the others once a year. These regulations, with a few changes, have continued for three years, one business and one social meeting occunng each month. For most of the former, short literary programs have been prepared. The enter tainments have shown iutcrsxt, variety and ingenuity. St. Val entine, the Father of his country, All Hallowe'en, Thanksgiving, Christmas and other festival have had their share of atten tion. Several new members have joined the club at various times and are worthy of especial Mention. They have taken an active part, their participation in voting being done altogether viva voce. Charlotte and Milton Rice are no longer with Htsbut Hazel Robinson is a loyal mem ber and the very newest one is William Riddell, Jr. Herbert Powell is the only other gentle man who is privileged to attend regularly. Each year there have been several vacancies caused by fam ilies moving from town, To the charter members who are pres ent, it may be pleasant to recall some who have left us in the last five years. Greetings to the Club have come from one and another of them, from the east, from California and from all parts of Oregon. Mrs. Fisher was among the first to leave. Mrs. Snelling soon returned to Lakeview. In the following two years there were several changes, Mrs. Muhoney returned to Mass achusetts, Mrs. Neal went to California and Mrs. Rice to Port land. Miss Snelling is now with her niece at Seaside, Mrs. P. O. Powell resigned on account of ill health. During the last year we have lost from our number Mrs. Sicafoose, Mrs. A. F. Camp bell, Mrs. Pennell, Mrs. Retta Powell and Miss Smith. Though these members are missed the vacancies are quickly filled, for the club speeds the parting and welcomes the coming members. So far as is known a friendly and kindly spirit prevails. To the President who has been again unanimously re-elected, hearty thanks are due for her faithfulness, loyalty and interest in her duties and especially for looking out for and keeping diiliculties out of the road. The club now consists of about thirty members, including active, social and honorary, all of whom will help to make an other successful year, which will bring much pleasure, a little profit and, above all, friendly intercourse amongall concerned.

The second half was practically a repetition of the first half as far as playing was concerned, Both Capt Stump and F. M. Phelps deserve special mention for good playing.

Owing to the failure of one En graving Company to get their cuts to the printer on time, the June commencement issue did not get out until a week after commencement, losing the com mencement sales thus leaving the issue some fifty dollars behind. This amount must be met as well as the putting out of our regular issues this year. Hence we make special appeal to the students and citizens. We believe this re cital will prove highly pleasing and worthy in itself, thus have no hesitancy in requesting the fullest patronage from the public.
