Mrs. J. F. Proper entertained the Tlo
nesta Reading Club -witb a few Invited
guests at ber borne Friday evening last,
Miss Hattie Goold of Oil City being the
honor guest. Miss Goold, who bsd spent
her summer vacation in a visit to Nor
way, Swdden, Denmark, Holland and
England, gave a most delightful account
of ber tour in Norway and Sweden, using
the stereoptioon views to illustrate ber
talk on these Interesting countries. Be
ginning witb Christiana, the capital of
Norway, sbe gave a detailed account of
her trip, first introducing to the Club tbe
sovereigns of Norway, Kiug Haakon and
Queen Maud, whose porti aits she threw
upon tbe canvas. The scenery of these
two countries as depicted on thecanvas Is
g-and beyoud description. Norway la a
oouolry of high mountains, with in
numerable waterfalls, which are fed from
tbe glaciers on the tops of these moun
tains five thousand leet bigb. The
"Fiords", which are parts of tbe ocean
tbst have pushed their way Into tbe land,
flowing between these abrupt mountains
form tbe most magnificent and awe-In
spiring scenery. Miss Goold said Bbe
lesrned while iu Norwav, there were
more Norwegians in tbe United States
thsn in Norway itself, and more Nor
wegians In Chicago than in the three
largest cities of Norway. Tbe pretty,
quaint costumes, worn by the Swedish
women were very much admired. Tbe
different provinces of tbla country each
have a distinct costume, wbich is never
changed. The members of the olub ap
preciate these illustrated talks very much
and consider tbey have received a rare
treat. This is tbe third entertainment of
tbis kind with which Miss Goold bss
favored tbe club, having previously given
her trips to England, the Bermuda, tbe
Bahama and tbe West India Islands. At
the close of tbe entertainment very de
licious refreshments were set ved by the
gracious hostess.
