Gives Delightful Talk.

Mrs. Palmer opened her delightful
talk by saying:
Many people think that the
word wholesome necessarily means
something that is good for you, but
bitter to swallow. In my mind it
is associated with many of the
most delightful things in life such
as big, JUICY, ripe peach; au early
morning horseback ride; the pun
gent, refreshing, never-to be-for-
gotten odor of the ocean. clear,
ice cold spring bubbling out of a

fMne of the pines after rain.
Therefore ] take great pleasure in
trying to tell You some Of tho many
things which are being done for the
promotion OF the best drama-the
wholesome variety.
