 Among the announcements made at the club meeting one was very inn portant to the members, that of the recent gift to the club by MrI D. Willis James of a Steinway Grand piano. We all feel very grateful for this most beautiful gift.
 The Woman's club held its regular meeting at their home on Quality Hill Friday afternoon. A large num- Der were present all taking an inter- est and many an active part in the program. After the regular business of the club was transacted he presi- dent turned the meeting over to the chairmn of the day, Mrs. T.
