TIL Highland Park Ebell club held
the first meeting of the year yester-
day, short business session and pro
gram being followed by the annual
breakfast.
Only club members were present
and a few matters of business were
discussed prior to the address of the
president, Mrs. ]. M. Grant, and this
in turn, was followed by a program OF
delightful vacation "reminiscences.
Mrs. Mary D. Howard told of happy
summer days recently spent camping
on Echo mountain, and Mrs. f. w

trip in the Sierra Madras. Mrs. James

question" from the point of view OF
the stay-at-home.
Miss Bell Beatty, secretary of the
club, who had been unable to take a
vacation owing to matters incident to
Ebell incorporation prior to building
and in preparing and getting out the
year book, gave a most interesting
and entertaining resume of her sum-
mer.
A social half hour preceded the
| breakfast, where the little IaNorS' III
the shape of ships and freighted with
a cargo of salted nuts, was the visible
expression of the thought around
which the program of toasts had been
constructed-the launching of ship.
When the items on the menu had
been discussed Mrs. Carl Packard in
a bright little speech presented the
toastmistress, Mrs. ]. w. Douthitt.
! Mrs II. L. Lund one of the charter
members, and greatly beloved by the

sponded with an original poem Mrs.
