TION OF WO1IEN'S CLUBS
WE'RE HONORED VISITORS
TO COLUMBUS FRIDAY.
Were Entertained at Luncheon at L.
/. and G., and Were rendered
Reception by Ladies' Read
inc Circle.

The large delegation of mem bers
of the State Federation Of Women s
Clubs, which met in annual session
at West Point last week, visited Co
lumbus Friday afternoon, and spent
several hours here as guests Of the
faculty and students of the Indus
trial Institute and College and the
various ladies' clubs of the city. The
Industrial Institute and College. is
known all over the State, and as
many of the members of the fedora
tion had expressed q desire to see the
institution the faculty and students
decided to iavite them to come TO
Columbus and go over the college.
The ladies composing the different
local literary and social organiza-
tions joined in the invitation, and the
fair visitors were entertained in that
cordial, graceful manner for which
Columbus is famous, and which has
gained for her the reputation of being
one of the most hospitable cities in
the State.
The party, which consisted of
about sixty-five ladies, reached the
city over the Mobile and Ohio Rail-
road at 1890 p. m, and were driven
Immediately to the college, where
luncheon was awaiting them. After
having partaken of the many good
things which had been prepared for
their delectation, the visitors were
rbO hn
pressed themselves as being delighted
with every department. They were
forcibly impressed with the splendid
work which is being accomplished by
President Whitfield and his excellent
corps of teachers in training the stu
and were brought to realize the fact
that this institution not only fur
nishes it's mental instruction but
looks after their physical and spirit
ual training as well, and that when
a young lady completes a course
there she goes out into the world
fully equipped to fill any position or
grace any station that the demands
of future years may bring forth.
After having spent several hours |
at the college, the fair visitors were
driven to the Stone Hotel, where they |
were rendered a reception by the La
dies Reading Circle. The spacious |
reception room of this hostelry was |
beautifully decorated in honor of the |
occasion, and a delicious punch was
served. One of the most delightful |
feature of the reception was an i'm
promptu but thoroughly enjoyable
musicale, vocal and instrumental Sc
lections having been most charmingly
rendered by Mrs. Jessie Randolph
and Miss Ruby Ramage.
At the conclusion of the reception
the club women were taken for
drive over the city. On account of
the fact that the ladies were COM
PEELED to leave on an early afternoon
train, it was impossible to extend the
drive over any great period of time,
but they were taken through the
business district and over some of
he principal residence streets. They
themselves as being
charmed with Columbus and at their
reception here, and the ladies of the
;ity were delighted with the oppor-
unity to entertain them.
