The Social clubs last meeting,
which was held at the home of Mrs.
Lungren, was much enjoyed by. all.
The steady increase in membership
and interest is very gratifying. The
next meeting will be held at Mrs. VIM.
Frances home on March Goth. We
will not omit to say that we appreciate
the kindly interest which one good
old gentleman takes in the meetings.
Thinking he would attend the last
one he prepared himself with sheep
shears and gunny sacking for needle
work to take with him. However, as
the club rules do not admit men at the
regular meetings, he was very much
disappointed.

Alligator's Tail q DeIicacy,

Alligators Tail q Delicacy,
A great delicacy in Florida is the
tip of an alligator's tail. It tastes
like frogs legs, though bit more
gamy. Alligator tails are best just
after the rice bird season. The big
alligators float in the water with only
their eyes showing. When they see a
flock of these fat, juicy little birds
they dive to the bottom. Their long,
wide shouts scoop up some of the
loan and they float to the surface
again with just the rich soil showing.
The birds think it is an island. They
alight upon it. When the whole
family is there the big reptile turns
suddenly. Just as the birds scramble
off he opens his mouth once. They
are gone. The birds are neat little
feeders, and the alligator is an epicure
at this time Of the year. The. rice
bird diet makes the tip of his tail, of
which he is most vain, tender and
sweet. Cleveland Leader.

that for forty years she had been tor.
