W0MAN'S CLUB
TENDERS RECEPTION
For Mrs. W. S. Jennings at
Putnam House Some
Fine Addresses

Palatka's representative men anG
women were present in large numbers
last Friday evening at the reception
given in the Putnam House parlors by
the Woman's Club. This was +he
formal opening of the club, the social
committee having arranged for ar
"open night" when the many friends
of Mrs. VIM. S. Jennings, state pr l.
dent of the Federated clubs, could
meet and hear what this gifted woman
had to say about woman's work in the
various departments of activity, and
greet her personally. At eight O'Clock
the Chattaway orchestra rendered two
selections after which the president of
the local club, Mrs. D. J. Co'lghlin,
prefaced short program wi h the
following remarks:
off have read the signs Alright,
they all foretell an eventful year for
the Woman's Club; a year of achieve
ments and Of ideals realized, and we
are greatly honored at this our first
meeting by the presence of so many
of our friends of whose interest and
cooperation we feel assured, and by
having as our distinguished guest the
president of the Florida Federation of
Women's Clubs. In this Goth centu. v,
this day of the Kingdom of Woman
hood, when the power and influence of
woman is felt throughout the entire
civilized world, and when more and
more she is entering actively and cred
itably every walk Of life-not as OPP
posed to men, not with anv intention
of infringing upon their rights and
privileges, nor of assuming their re-
sponsibilities-but because the inter-
ests of men and women are the same
and indissoluble, race guardianship
and preservation; we have conceived
this idea as the noblest known, that
of men and women joint originators of
life, jointly responsible for its vast
age, combining forces to revalue and
conserve it. With this thought, it
seems most appropriate to have with
us this evening representatives from
those organizations that are most con-
cerned with the mental, moral and So
cial problems of developing, revaluing
and conserving"
In happy manner Mrs. Coughlin
then introduced Mr.. B. E. Jarrett,
president of the Palatka board of
trade, who gave in his brief addree
the assurance of the cooperation and
hearty support, both of that organi-
cation and the city council. Mr.. E.
W. Elliott, secretary of the board of
trade, expressed himself as being en-
tirely in sympathy with the work the
were accomplishing and kindly
offered the assistance of that civic
body in furthering any good cause
which the club would sanction.
Miss Jessie Harrison Burton, the
sfficient Canning club agent for Put
lam county, gave all present an in

Nearest Perfection.

The only reason the State Hotel In.
spection didn't give James Cafe in
this city a 100 per cent mark, was
because Bob James didn't have dish
washing machine in his kitchen. His
dishes are still washed by hand and
ARE CLEAN. In every other point
his percentage was perfect, and con-
sequently James Cafe gets the Gold
Seal of perfection.
Bob" James is being complimented
all over Florida on the excellence of
his restaurant. Travelling men talk
about it and Palatka gets the benefit
of the advertising. Palatka is proud
of this restaurant and the people will
congratulate Mr.. James on his recog-
milton and his "Gold Seal" medal.
