Do AS You Like 1t Club
Met With Mrs. A. 3. Bogert

Mrs. A. B. Bogert, formerly OF
New York but winter resident OF
Lakeland, was hostess yesterday af-
lternoon to the Do AS You Like 1t
Club. The topic of conversation was
particularly interesting because of
the fact that the members from the
northland exchanged history and
romance of their native country
with those of the Southland, many
interesting "reminiscences making
the afternoon hours pass all too
swiftly.
The hostess served delicious
luncheon of sandwiches, fruit salad,
cake and chocolate in the lovely re-
ception room, which was artistically
decorated for the occasion. At the
twilight. hour the guests reluctantly
departed, with the feeling that they
had been drawn closer together by
that atmosphere of freedom which
gives each member liberty of speech

reports of delegates to the State
Federation of Women's Clubs held in
Miami recently.
Mrs. w. B. Anderson had been
elected delegate from the club and
she brought back a very full and
complete report of the regular meet
ings and gave glowing descriptions
of her trip Her report in full will be
published tomorrow in the columns of
this paper. The club gave Mrs. An
derson a rising vote of thanks for
her splendid work in behalf of the
club, and at the same time expressed
regret that her moving from town
to Dunnellon would cause her
splendid work to be given elsewhere
at this time. She was chairman of
the educational department of the
club and to her efforts the success
obtained in the clubs work in be-
yhalf of the Domestic Science Depart
ment of the public schools is largely
due.
Mrs. Guy Toph was also a dele
gate, by virtue of her position as
president of the club, at the State
Federation meeting.
Mrs. Geo. M. Wright, a member of
this club, attended the State Fedora
tion in her capacity as State chair
man of educational department, and
her work throughout the State has
been highly commended by adj Off
Gals in charge of the general work.
She will be the guest of honor of the
club at a later date and present fea-
lures of her State work.
Business matters being attended
to motion to adjourn was carried
and the club adjourned for one week,

Most of the State papers agree
With the Evening Telegram. that
provision for voting "the straight
ticket" should be made in our gen
eral election laws, and the idea of
designating each ticket by a party
emblem is generally favored. The
Miami Herald, however, thinks that
a man who had not intelligence
enough to vote the ticket he desired
at the late election, after the lucid
and continued instructions given by
all the newspapers, ought not be al
lowed to vote. 1t seems that way:
and, yet, we know a good many men
OF average intelligence who could
not have picked out the electors OF
any party if their vote depended on
their so doing. Make voting so sim
pie that the way-faring man though
fool may do it the way he intend.

Some excellent arguments for
