APOLLO CLUB
The meeting of the Apollo Club on
Tuesday of this week at the home of
Mrs. J. f. Andrews was an unusually
interesting and eventful one. Mrs.
Andrews who is always a charming
hostess shared hospitality with the
club, as each member was privileged
to invitea guest. Herattractive home
was made more so by the lavish use
of decorations prevailing in tone and
character with the subject of the af-
ternoon program which was Irish
Music. The reception hall was in
our national colors, obtained by use
of flags of all sizes and bunting. The
living and dining room was Irish to
the last little golden harp and emer-
aid shamrock, hundreds of which were
used together with Irish flags and
green and white crepe papers. Shad-
eS were drawn and the soft glow of
artificial lights against such a back
ground made a beautiful setting for
the many handsome gowns worn by
the guests. Little Misses Ruth Kirby
and Anna Jane Chapman garbed as
wee Irish Colleens met the guests at
the door while Mrs. F. B. Kirby and
Miss Willard Worthington assisted
Mrs. Andrews through the rooms.
Mrs. Olive Michel was the choice of
the club to 60 to Searcy as delegate to
the Harrison District A, F. w. c..
meeting, and Miss Willard Worth
ington and Miss Maude Williams were
invited by the District President to
appear on the musical program to be
given there. An incident of the after
noon that made a beautiful memory
that will live, even though tinged with
sorrow, was when Mrs. Fanny Weber
Keifer, beloved patroness of the APP
ollo Club, with the graciousness that
seems a part Of her, presented to the
club a silver trimmed mahogany
gavel. Mrs. Kirby responded with an
expression of appreciation that was
voiced by each member. Mrs. Keifer
when she departs for her new home in
Washington will leave void in the
hearts of all who know her that can
never be filed, The program for the
afternoon follows:
