q \ activities for the season was the
opening Of a number Of clubs in Salem,
which there are many of varied nature,
including the bridge, sewing, literary
and the purely social club. But wheth-

was that of the Thursday Afternoon

at the home of Mrs. Fleming on Court
street. The rooms were handsomely
decorated with seasonable flowers, in
eluding tasteful arrangements of mari
colds and dahlias. In keeping with the
motif of the club, fancy work occupied
the greater part of the afternoon. Sec
eral musical numbers by Mrs. Harry
Weidmer were enjoyed. Miss Priscilla
Fleming and Miss Lyra Miles assisted
in tho serving The honor guests of
the occasion were Mrs. William X. Har-
per and Mrs. Ralph Lyncn, of Chicago,
