Luncheon for Prominent Club Women
Mrs. William Hooker was hostess
today at 80 O'Clock to perfectly ap-
pointed luncheon at which she enter
tanned in honor of her house guests,
Mrs. W. S. Jennings of Jacksonville
and Mrs. J. D. Randall of Lawtey,
president and district vice president,
respectively, of the Florida Federation
of Women's Clubs, and Mrs. James
McCollum and Mrs. j. NJ Dell, Jr.,
of Gainesville, former presidents of
the Twentieth Century Club of that
city. Other guests enjoying the beau
tiful affair were the hostess sister,
Mrs. E. H. Mote of Leesburg, only
honorary member of the Ocala Wom-
ans Club, and federation chairman of
music, Mrs. C. r. Tydings, president
and Mrs. Jack Camp, ex-president of
the Ocala club.
The floral appointments of the table
were exquisite pink roses and violets
interspersed with sweet alyssum. The
place cards bore quotations pertain
ing to women and at each cover were
corsage bouquets of violets, souvenirs
of the occasion. An elegant six course
luncheon was served and the delicious
ness of each dish only went to give
additional proof that the hostess is as
much of culinary artist as she is a
peer among the brilliant women of the
state.
The cordiality with which the guests
were entertained and the principal
thought of club work, which was of
common interest among the guests
themselves, were all conducive toward
making the luncheon one of great
social pleasure. Mrs. Hooker, who is
state secretary of the general fedora
tion, was until last November presi-
dent of the Florida federation and
while filling that Office was entertain
ed by each of the out of town ladies
who were her guests today and her
courtesy to them was a pretty recip-
rocity compliment in keeping with the
reciprocity day inaugurated at the
club today.
