MEETING OF THE DAUGHTERS

The members of Dickson Chapter
U. d. c., ana IA number C invited
friends enjoyed a most oe..ghtful af-
ternoon Friday with Mrs. Jake Brown
on North Tuscawilla street.
On arriving the guests were wei
coined by Mrs. Brown and Mrs. r. G.
Blake. On the front piazza a coy
table was arranged, which was pre-
sided over by Mrs. B. w. Mimms and
delicious chocolate and whipped
cream, sandwiches and stuffed dates
were served by Miss Florence Wal
ters. As the guests were served they
were invited into the parlor, where
seats were arranged and a musical
and historical program was rendered.
At the annual meeting of the
Daughters in state convention, a res
olution was adopted to open all meet
lngs by singing the "Suwannee Riv-
err SO all joined in singing this rJp-
ular song.
Mrs. E. L. Carney, Mrs. r. G. Blake,
Miss Irma Blake and the chapters
historian, Miss Florence Walters, all
read interesting "reminiscences, and
Mrs. John H. Taylor, Miss Jessilu
Martin and Miss Ethel Haycraft rem
dered charming instrumental and vo-
cal solos.
Several of the Veterans were in
vited to be present and make address
es, but Capt. w. L. Ditto was the only
one who responded to the invitation.
He can always be counted on and may
well bear the sobriquet of "Old Faith
full"
The program was most entertain.
ing one and the Daughters are in
debted to the very capable historian
for planning it.
1t was the regret of all that the
aged and honored president of the

able to be at the meeting, and when
it was announced that she had had 6
recent fall and injured her shoulder
the chapter joined in universal ex
preston of sorrow.
The meeting was an entirely enjoy
able one, and will be remembered a.
one of the most pleasant in the chap
ter's history.

MRS. HOOKER ENTERTAINs

Yesterday afternoon at the Wo-
mans Club rooms MRS. William
Hooker, the president of the Ocala
organization, entertained the club
members very delightfully."- in honor
of Mrs. T. M. Shackleford of Talla-
hassee, who is president of the Flor
ida Federation of Woman's Clubs.
Beautiful sprays of dogwood against
the green walls, and poinsettas, the
clubs flower, made the rooms spring
like and very attractive.
The guests were greeted at the
door by Mrs. J. K Austin and Mrs.
D. W. Davis.

Mrs. Shackleford were the officers of
the club: Mrs. Mote, vice president;
Mrs. r. l.. Anderson, corresponding
secretary; Mrs. D. NJ Smith, treasur
er, and the chairmen of the various
committees, including Mrs. Carney,
Mrs. Robertson, Mrs. Burford, Miss

work throughout the state. She
spoke of the growth of women's clubs
as an expansion of the home influ-
ence, with particular stress on the
wide range of work and interests ac-
cessible to women through the feder-
alton. The state committees on ed
ucation, art, forestry, child labor, ETC.,
have and are accomplishing good re-
suits. The circulating libraries in
particular have a great educational
value in small towns where books are
scarce.
Mrs. Shackleford, apart from the
official interest which attaches to her,
lis charming woman. and excited
many warm compliments from the
club members, who feel themselves
very fortunate to have met her.
After Mrs. Shackleford's talk the
meeting became informal and tea was
served.
Mrs. B. W. Mimms, who is secre-
tary of the WOmans Club at Tren-
ton, KY, presided at the tea table,
her lovely gown of red harmonizing
with the color scheme of the after
noon.
The young ladies assisting Mrs.
Hooker at the punch bowl, passed de-
lightful cheese and nut sandwiches.
Mrs. Rockers tea will be long re-
membered as a delightfully."- interest
ing and enjoyable occasion.

In the construction of the federal

quar- trs for the manufacture of lime.
Mr.. Williams, who has charge of the
construction of the building. says that
lime is not used any more in Il ION
struction of government worl Ce-
ment is higher, but is supposed to be
more durable. 1t causes less repairs
after the building is completed. and
in the long run is supposed to be
cheaper The lOcala building is be-
ing erected with scrupulous care, and
ought to last forever. When complet.
ed it promises to be a very handsome
building. and its exterior finish will
be exceedingly attractive. We have
no doubt that Ocala will be very
proud of it. The work is now being
pushed very vigorously and 1t is as
