Club women naturally like gossip about the clubs, and this is for them. It is a mild dissipation, something like the drinking of a cup of fragrant and pale celon tea.

The state federation held its annual meeting at Fremont Thursday and Friday of the last week. A party went down fomr Omaha composed of Mrs. W. G. Thompson, Mrs. Gannle B. Patrick, Mrs. Harriet C. Towne, Mrs. Rose Strawn, Miss Mary Fairbrother, Dr. Freeda Lankton, Mrs. Blanche L. McKelvey, Mrs. Jaynes, Mrs. L. R. Harford, Miss L. M. Harford, Mrs. Julia C, Hoobler, Mrs. Francis M. Ford, Mrs. Julia F Marsh, Mrs. B.F. Weaver, Mrs. C. A. Mirchell, Miss Haubens and Mrs. Porter.

The cordilaity of the greeting at Fremont was just what might have been expected. Women came in form every part of the state, and were welcomed at the station. Although guests had not ecpected to be entertained, only delegates having been offered or having any right to ecpect such hospitality, yet, as a matter of fact, nearly all of hte cisitors at Fremont were cared for in homes.
