Morning and Ebell Clubs-with all
the aplomb of a grown up. And the
Womans Ten Thousand Club of Ell
Centric had more than 100 guests, be-
sides its own POO members, at its
Reciprocity Day meeting.
Il have attended the Imperial Coun-
ty Federation of Woman's Clubs, held
in Il Centre. Holtville, Brawley and
Calexico, and it was a revelation to
listen to the papers, addresses and
discussions Of these women of the
desert and to hear the talented mu-
sicians, both vocal and instrumental
and the refreshments were always
dainty and lavish, but there was al
ways the question of a suitable place
to entertain. That troublesome ques-
ton is answered, as far as FL Centric
is concerned, for we now have the
beautiful and commodous Barbara
Worth hotel And that helped to
make it possible for us to entertain
the Southern district, c. F. w. C.
Not only do we expect the dele
gates from the sixty clubs of the five
southern counties, but several presi-
cent of the district federation and
many of the state charmen have de-
clared 1t their intention to attend.
This is the playtime for most of
the Imperial Valley women. Many
thousands are soiourning in the noun
tam resorts OF down by the sea; some
shopping and visiting in this beauti
tm city. Most Of them will drift
through the gates of both expositions
before returning home The needle
work booth at the Imperial County
Far cverflows with the beautiful ham
diWork representing the idle sum-
mer moments of these clever women.
Millions of intricate stitches of en-
hroidery and crochet | always stand
before that booth agape with wonder
and admiration. There are others who
take up favcrite course of reading
OF lectures or work aC their music,
then there are those who haunt your
art galleries and studios, who loiter
and dream and fiji their eyes and
thoughts with everything beautiful
they can see and hear Then, as the
summer wanes, all are glad to return
to their desert homes, full of that
vlgor and enthusiasm that comes to
those that mingle with many kindly
strangers; to those who know how to
play well.
Mrs. A. II. Griswold, president of
The Woman's Ten Thousand Club Of
El Centro, met Mrs. A. J. Lawton,
president of the Southern District c.
+. w. c., last week, and asked several
of the prominent club women of Inn
perial county, who are in the city, to
Join them to discuss plans for the an
nual convention that we are so en-
thusiastic about Mrs Lawton has
IN view a most interesting program
and many important matters will
come up for discussion and decision,
tut Iilt NdlcN NOHlen VIII see 10 IL
that it is not all work and no play.
There will be a reception at the
Barbara Worth hotel, an automobile
ride through the North End of the
valley, when the visitors will be given
luncheon by the Brawley club wom-
en-. Another day there will be an
auto ride through the great cotton
district in the southern end of the
valley that extends beyond the in
ternational line into Mexico And the
women of the Ten Thousand Club of
FL Centre plan a musicale for one
evening.
80 We extend an invitation to all
club women, whether of the Southern
district or not. November should be
the psychological moment to make
that long desired visit to Imperial
Valley"
