The Rural Homemakers Social Club | jand more united atmosphere by met at Mrs. W. E. Vansant’s Thurs- day, May 28, and had avery enjoy- able meeting.

We first met once a week in order that the ladies might become interested, now we meet once every two weeks at the home of one of the members. ‘' -HURSDAY, JUNE 4, 1914. ‘have a program for the discussion a subjects that are practical for ,| wives and daughters of farmers, das ‘isinging. Our last subject w: “Why We Joined the Rural Homemakers {Social Club. "” ae Reasons Why. Did you ever. “stop to think clearly |" and specifically how many reasons there-are’why you should belong to the Rutal Homemakers Social Club? There area great many more than e can think of just now, but there {are several we can call to mind with- out half trying. One of the first reasons rests in the universal desire and crav- ing for companionship. None of us wish to live apart from others. We want their interestand friendship and the only way to get itis through ac- quaintance and that is what draws women toward one another. is is just what the Rural Homemakers So- cial Club does. Charles Lamb once said that he could continue to hate another man as long ashe did not know him, but as soon as he came to know him the hatred changed toa liking and mutual interest. Another very good reason why a woman should join a society in which there is a mutual interest and where they all meet on the level and depart on the square, is the desire for union of effort. Every woman feels a sense of not only lonliness, but positive helplessness as long as she feels that she has to battle against the great | world alone and unaided, But in the comradship of the Club she forgets her oWn petty world in the larger which she is sifrrounded. There is tremendous power in union of strength, ideas and purpose. This desire is fully met in a membership in the Rural Homemakers Social Club. Again there is the opportunity for. the development of one’s own powers that is gratifying to. every THIS SUMMER Men Will Wear PALM BEACH SUIT NUMBER 33. woman. Did you ever see some woman suddenly called upon to give her views on some subject and great- ly to your surprise, hear her express herself very effectively. You per- haps have known her only as a plod- ding farmer’s wife and now you have revealed unto you a woman of power in an entirely different light from what you ever suspected, It can be calculated with almost a certainty of hitting the truth that the quiet person whom you had only known at her daily task obtained her education and her confidence and her capacity of expression through her work in some society. It is due to their interest in the work, they become fluent speak- ers and able debators. Another thing that isa tremendous lever in one’s onward march in the world and which lends added charm to member- ship is the strong sense of sisterhood which it provokes. It is one thing to know men and ‘women as acquain- tances, but it is quite another thing to know them as brother and sister. It is a bond that is potent for good and it establishes a permanent and enduring regard for each other that years cannot break. Again the de- sire to do something for others. We crave the opportunity to share with others something of the comforts and blessings of life. The most glorious and self-satisfy- ing reason ofall is found inthe joy of dding something that will make other lives richer and happier, be- cause we have lived in the same world. LIBERTY.
