Correspondence Of The Robcsonian
The final meeting of the Merry
Go-Round Book Club was held at
the home of Miss Hazel Morrison
on Friday afternoon. The bro
gramme was interesting from he
ginning to end. The first number
a vocal duet by Misses Matte " |
Mclean and Emma Belle McRae
was greatly enjoyed. This was
followed by the history Cf the
Club by Miss Clarke b. McNair
which dated from its organization
to its final meeting and which
shows the Club to have been a
success. Each meeting has been
we'll attended, the entertainments
have been of a very high class
and the Club has far SURPASSED
expectations in the pleasure and
benefit to its members. The next |
number was a piano solo by Miss
Ella Steed, given in her usual ar
tistic style.
Then came one of the most en-
Joyable features of the meeting
- prophecy, by Miss Matte
W. Mclean, giving the supposed
future of the members OF the
Club. To know the author of the
prophecy would be a guarantee
that it would be rich and as
true as if delivered by an Egyp-
tian sibyl. This proved very in
teresting, especially to those mat
| ed with princely young men. The
proposition is that the Club will
meet at the expiration of ID years
to compare notes and see if the
forecast of the prophecies is cor
rect. The last number was vo-
cal solo by Miss Leila Barnes,
given in her inimitabIe style, and
was greatly enjOved.
Then came the contest. The
members and guests were given
WalnutS in which were found
quotations, which gave the clue
to who would be pardners. Mrs.
Kirkpatrick was the winner of
the prize, a handsome set of nut
picks.
Then refreshments were serv-
ed and after the distribution of
books the Club adjourned to
meet in September. Miss Nor
rison proved a very charming
hostess. The guests were Misses
Halle Covington, of Laurinburg:
Nettie Pace, Jessie Burns, Ethel
Gaitley, Carrie Gaitley, Margaret
Currie, Mary Morrison, Eliza
beth McNair, Harriet Morrison,
| Eliza Mcqueen and Mrs. Kirk.
