Thought Treasureable
He that abstains
To help the rolling wheels of this
great world,
Cutting his idle sense, lives a lost
life,
Shameful and vain. Existing for him
self,
Self-concentrated, serving self alone,
No part hath he III aught.

Mrs. James FL. Hill, Mrs. L. B. Dey,
Mrs. B. F. Condor and Mrs. Belle
Mershon. The ladies all wore beau
tiful reception gowns.
An interesting feature and one
greatly enjoyed was musical pro-
gram which had been. arranged by
Mrs. D. E. McIver, music chairman.
The program was participated in by
three of Ocala's most talented young
ladies. The audience was privileged
also to enjoy several selections by
the chairman, musician of ability,
who played while the ladies arrived.
The first number of the program was
Straus' Twill o. the Wisp,' exquisite
~ sung by Miss Cecile Downs. Hun
garian Rhapsody, No. Il, played by
Miss Ethel Haycraft, brought forth
unanimous applause and many of the
hearers of the young player gave ut
terance to their thoughts, saying they
had never heard her play more beau
tifully. AS an encore Miss Haycraft
gave Nevin's Venetian. Love Song.
aThe Butterfly" was Miss Downs
second number and the sweetness of
her clear, rich voice was again heard
in "My Soul" which she graciously
gave as an encore. Miss Mamie Gross
accompanied Miss Downs on the
piano playing beautifully the three
numbers. Miss Sidney Harold, whose
appearance on any program assures
success, rendered a group of pretty
piano selections, her numbers con-
Guiding the program.
A refreshment course consisting of
chicken salad, pickles, waters and tea
was served by Misses Helen Brown,
Hester Dewey, Mary Burford, Adele
Bittinger, Mildred Warner, Mrs. R. A.

The social committee of which Mrs.
j. r. Dewey is chairman temporarily
during the illness of the chairman,
Mrs. Z. M. Murray, assisted in enter
tanning during the afternoon.
1t was the regret of all that Mrs.
G. R. Tydings, retiring president, and
Mrs. Jake Brown, auditor, were out
of the city.
Mrs. E. Van Hood, chairman of the
culture department, announced that
the first meeting would be held next
