Years of Interesting History.
The Twentieth Century Club of
Smyrna celebrated its seventh ami
versary last Friday evening, with one
of the most enjoyable entertainments
ever given in the club room. The
club birthday happening on the seven
teenth of February, between the birth
days of Lincoln and Washington, the
decorations were in keeping with these
occasions. The room was beautifully
decorated with flags, the most promi-
nent feature of the decoration being
the flag of our own country, in addi-
ton to which were the flags of the
countries that have formed the topics
of study in the Club, namely, Holland,
Italy, France, Germany and Greece.
At five o'clock an old fashioned tea was
served, the guests being seated at ia
bles which were set according to old
customs, and looked very attractive.
At the conclusion of the supper, the
Club Song was sung, and this was fol-
lowed by the interesting program that
had been arranged for the evening,
the chief feature of which was the
"Sketch Book" reviewed by Mrs. F.
Ep Postles. When the curtain was
raised the frontispiece of the book was
shown on which was painted a most
attractive figure of a woman, typifying
Art, Literature and Home Science.
The flaming torch and carnation, en-
blems of the Club also formed part of
the decorations of this artistic cover.
The Club "Sketch Book" CIeverIy illustrated d
After the "Table of Contents" had
been disclosed, the first picture pre-
sented was "Seven Times One" imper-
sonsted by Miss Agnes Carrow, who
recited the charming little poem so
appropriate to the occasion. The next
picture was "Odd Fellows Hail." the
birthplace of the Club. The following
leaf showed "Uncle Sam" (Miss Eba
Wilds) holding the infant Club in her
arms. While this picture was in view
the audience sang America. An
other page was turned and showed
that fThe Club starts housekeeping, "
being an illustration of the various pos
sessions of the Club. Again the page
was turned and presented to view q
portrait of Queen Wilhelmina, (Misa
Muriel Janney.) This was a faithful
copy of one of the pictures of the beau
tiful little Queen of Holland. Then
followed piano trio-"Glockenspiel'
by Miss Price, Miss Beck and Miss
Hynson. "Sunny Italy" came next
and was cleverly done by Mrs. H. G.
Tschudy, dressed as a typical italian
girl, accompanied by her faithful
"Jocho" and carrying a hand organ
from which issued the sweet (?) strains
OF that instrument. France being the
next topic there could have been ne
better illustration of that years study
than was shown in the beautiful por
trait of the famous Queen, Marie An
toinette, which was represented by
Mrs. John LeFevfe. Mrs. Frank Rey
nolds then favored the audience with {
solo, ''In Thy Dreams" The mex
picture shown was "Made in Germany
q take off on the familiar trade mark
and represented by map of Germany
through which peeped the merry face
of a ''maid." The next "Greec,
Pot was none other than the familiar
iron pot with its compliments of greas,
W hich was practical ifnot artistic.
POlnt Scored on the New Club House.
The next page was turned, our littl
''Seven Times One" maiden appeared
again, this time busy building blocks
intent on building new Club House
A violin solo-"Berceuse" by Mis-
Grace Lloyd brought the program tc
a close. Mrs. J. Mariner Rsckett. o
Philadelphia, then sang solo-"Gen
evieve" which was followed by an en-
core, and Miss Mary Roberts in re
spouse to a request for a song CAV,
'The Message of the Violets." The
birthday bags that had been disttibu
ted amoug the Club members were re
turned and when the contents wer
counted it was found that quite gen
erous sum had been contributed, an
this was handed over to the treasure
of the Club House fund.
