Library Day a Success

That the efforts of the Woman's
Club to upbuild and sustain our public
library are being recognized and APP
preciated, was evidenced on Wednes-
day BY the immense crowd of visitors,
both ladies and gentlemen, who at.
tened their annual library benefit tea.
The spacious reading rooms In the
library building, where the club ladies
received their guests, were crowded
during tea hours, from to p. m.
and as a result the money plate was
filled to overlooking with the free Will
offerings OF these loyal, public spirited
men and women. About S64 in cash
was realized, and an abundance of en-
enlargement, appreciation and good
wishes with 1t. Beside this amount
the two moving picture shows OF
Bryan generously gave a per cent of
their receipts for one afternoon and
night to the ladies of the club. The
CRYSTALS donation was $21. and the
Dixie gave enough to round out the
entire fund to the splendid total of
S1Oo.
The club ladies are very grateful to
the citizens for their patronage, and
also to the Crystal and the Dixie
movies for their liberal donations.
They hope to appropriate the money
thus received toward the needs of the
library in such manner that the
benefits in turn will revert to the citi-
zens of Bryan and their children.
A glimpse into the improvised tea
room on Wednesday showed a picture
of what the club ladies would like the
library reading room to be; com
Portable artistic. attractive reception
room, a place where an hour or two
could be spent with delight, amid
beautiful surroundings: a homelike
room for the reading public.
The brilliancy and warmth of the
rooms made them beautiful and cozy.
Mounds of ferns and palms and vases
, of bright red carnations gave floral
beauty. and the tea tables charmingly
set, with singing tee kettles and well
filed sandwich trays provided charm
that was irresistible. Amid these at
tractive environments. the members
OF the Woman's Club met their guests
and accorded to each one cordial
hospitality.

ing on the rear platform when the
robbers swung aboard. One OF the
