handsome car, tho this was well
covered with the attractive COL
ors. green and white: twineing
about and over the car was a
graceful rose vine filed with
pink roses, about the edge of the
tenders and around the top was
a pretty green fringe which
gave to the occupants of this
car cool refreshing look as
they rolled by the smeltering
onlookers. In the rear of the
car was the extra tire IN It's &C.
customed place, wrapped with
white, and arranged abouts It's
circumference was the four HIS
| in green, while in the center,
was the fifth II which now stands
for our Home Work. An at
tractive band of green was ar
ranged just above the fringe
around the top, on which "Sum-
merton Home Demonstration
CLUB" was placed in attractive
white letters. This car was fill
ed with members of the Summer
ton Club.
Right here our pen should
stop for there are no fitting
words to describe thecar which
represented the DuRant Club.
This car was covered all over
with light yellow cloth and
twineing over it was southern
smilax, which represented grape
vines and clusters of rich purple
and white grapes were hanging,
bountifully on the vine. In the
rear of the car was a pretty pla-
card in yellow, bearing the name
Of the club in purple. On the
rear seat was a pedestal of cans
and placed on this pedestal Was
a fairy, the Queen OF the Home,
holding the ribbons suspended
from a huge yellow butterfly
which had seemingly alighted
on the very front of the engine,
slipping the sweet jnices from the
luclous punched of purple
grapes. Piled at the base of
this pedestal of cans was a gen.
erous heap o. fruits and vegeta-'
J!es. No, we have not describ
ed these floats. We have only
tried to give some Of the most
attractive features. An artist
could best have done justice to
this arrangement and perciss ion
of these floats: following these
we're seventeen other cars In
which members of the different
clubs rode.
When the parade was over all
we're asked to assemble in the
count house, and the following
program was rendered:
The song Of the Home Demon
stration Club was sung to the
tune of Home, Sweet Home.
This was followed by the Club
Prayer. Mr.. G. A. McFaddin
presented Miss Edith Parrott,
State agent of the Home Demon
stration Club. Miss Parrott told
Us how glad she was to be in
Manning again, and we would
have been glad to tell her how
glad we were to see her back
again. She congratulate tes CIar-
endon county on the progress it
has made in the club work and
for the interest shown here to-
day by this enthusiastic audience
She said that this county was
famous throughout the State.
Think of being member OF this
great family of 1900 women and
1900 girls, all engaged IN this
same kind of work. This summer
at Winthrop the girls complet-
ing the short course will be given
diplomas. She spoke of Mr.. Nc
Faddln's work throughout the
State, and how thoroughly in
terested be has always been IN
the women and girls work.
Miss Amanda Edwards, the
agent from Williamsburg county,
was next introduced. She told
of the work beng done in her
county, and portrayed the beauty
of this demonstration work.
