F. Eugene Farnsworth of Boston 
was the speaker at the concert at the 
Village church last Sunday evening, 
giving an illustrated lecture entitled, 
“From Old Nuremberg to the Inn 
Valley of Tyrol,” embracing the trip 
from the city of Nurnberg (or 
Nuremberg) to the Hungarian city 
which has sprung into prominence in 
the eyes of the world in the last year 
as the spot where the Archduke 
Ferdinand and his wife were assassi- 
nated in June, including stops at 
Ragusa, Salzberg, Umhausen, Inns- 
bruck and other interesting old 
world cities. The country is  pic- 
turesque to a degree and affords fine 
material for the artist or camera man, 
and Mr. Farnsworth’s pictures did 
ample justice to his subjects. The 
views of Nuremberg, the city with 
hundreds of high sloping roofs with 
their dormer windows and _ artistic 
window boxes, of Ragusa, “the 
Dream ) City ‘by the. Séay “on ine 
Tyrolean mountains and of the fan- 
tastically garbed peasants were all in- 
teresting in their diverse ways. 
A new factor, which will work for 
the happiness and welfare of all Mag- 
nolia, was established when the Girl’s 
Club held its first meeting at the 
home of Mrs. H. C. Foster, Summer 
street, last Friday evening, Jan. 1. 
Magnolia has long felt the need of 
just such an organization as this for 
the village girls and it will undoubt- 
edly receive the whole-hearted sup- 
port that it deserves. Many interest- 
ing things are being planned for the 
meetings and Mrs. Foster, to whom 
the credit of the movement is largely 
due, has,an executive ability that is 
well-known through her eight years’ 
connection with the Magnolia Wo- 
men’s club. Following is the list of 
members and of officers elected: 
Misses Elizabeth Abbott, Alice Swan- 
son, Edna Symonds, Beatrice and 
Dorothy Story, Bertha and Azubah 
Mullen, Mary Boyd, Ruth Scott, 
Abbie May, Martha Wonson, Ethel 
May, Jennie and Elizabeth Brown, 
Susan Lycett, Gertrude West, Rose 
Nelson, Mildred Commerford, May- 
belle Sampson, Eleanor Commer- 
ford, Edith Height and Mrs. H. C. 
Foster. Officers were elected as fol- 
lows: President, Miss Beatrice 
Story; vice president, Miss Maybelle
