The W. +. VI. 5. meeting at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Cook,
last Friday afternoon was most de.
lightful affair. In spite Of the ex.
IRENE cold and the raging blizzard at
that time there we're twelve members
present and good program was rem.
dered. Mrs. Kittie Thatcher lad
charge as leader, and Mrs. Howell, Mrs.
DIR. Evans, Mrs. Margaret Conrad, Mrs.
kunz and the pastor each had some.
thing to do on the program. At the
close, Mrs. Cook served dainty two
course lunch, consisting Of chicken,
sandwiches, olives, salad, tea, coffee,
ice cream and two kinds Of cake.
This was followed by an hour Of so.
cial life. Every one present had de-
ligbtful time. According TO the pres.
ent schedule the March meeting will
be held with Mrs. Sarah Ramsay, but
inasmuch as Mrs Ramsay has moved

home will doubtless he postponed un.
