by the president, Mrs. 6. S.

verdict OF the members present

the most enjoyable held since
their organization in 1891.
Mrs. Thompson had her home
beautifully decorated with patriotic
colors and green vines, looped
with lavender ribbon, the club
color. Over the archway was the
picture OF Mrs. Alice Robinson,
the founder of the club, which
never fails to do her honor, and
whose features it is always pleas
ure for the members to look upon.
The club was called to order by
the president who gave welcome
address and an abundance Of prac-
teal advice for the years work.
This was followed by an exper-
ience meeting, cash member telling
how she spent her summer vaca-
ton, which proved very enjoyable.
Before closing Mrs. Thompson
and her daughter, Miss Ollie, as
sisted by Mrs. Mendelson, served
most delicious lunch. The mem
bers felt we'll enthused for good
years work. Mrs. Thompson is
to be congratulated for a most
pleasant afternoon.
