last Tuesday, this being their first
observance, the club not vet being
two years old. This delightful occa-
sion was held in the home of Mrs.
G. D. Walker and the rooms we're
attractively decorated in ferns AMI
cut flowers. The hostess welcomed
the twenty-five members every one
being present and with these were
representatives from the local or
ganizations. Mrs. E.. M. Walker,
president, presided ard in opening
extended cordial greetings to those
who had came from sister organiza-
tons and she gave few pleasant
thoughts concerning the occasion
that had brought together this body
of interested women. A short but
very delightful musical program
was enjoyed and Miss Ivey of Au-
gusta pleased all with her vocal
numbers, her voice being very
sweet and of wide range. She gave
several of the newest selections also.
The feature of the afternoon was
the address by Mrs. J. Hardwick
Jackson, president of the Augusta
music club. All were charmed with
her and the message she brought.
After she had concluded her ad-
dress she said she would tell the
club something of Josef Hoffman,,
the Polish master, whose life and
works, they have just completed.
This information was gladly receiv-
ed and she was able to tell many
interesting things, as she is often a
visitor in the winter home of the
Hofmanns, at Aiken. She ended
with this pleasantly which occurred
last summer while she was visiting
in the home of Hoffman,, in Switz-
sflsaa An Englishnan esine into
the home and Paderewski who was
also a visitor, introduced him to
Holman, saying that the two were
vastly different in every way. oh
no, corrected Hofmann," it is only
this: He is dear soul who loves to
play polo, and l am a little Pole
who loves to play SOLO. When
she had concluded all enjoyed chat
ting with her and during the time
an elaborate salad course was served.
In the living room coffee was pour
ed from beautifully appointed ta-
BILE and variety of sandwiches
were offered. The occasion afforded
many pleasures and new thoughts
and ideas were gained, this being so
conducive to club advancement and
general welfare.
On last Saturday Mrs. William
Wright celebrated her sOth birth
day,the day being spent i'll the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Manning
Simmons, who had planned many
pleasures for her. There were pres
ent number of her old time ac-
quaintances TO greet her and there
were many "reminiscences of former
days. An elegant dinner was served.
The Fidelis class of the Baptist
Sunday school entertained the men,
bers of the Berean class on Thurs
day evening with most delightful
reception, this being held in the
Sunday school rooms of the church.
The affair was characterized with
informality which greatly appealed
to those of the masculine persua-
sion. The colors of the class are
orange and black and the rooms
were attractive with this decoration
and many large bowls of daffodils
were about the. rooms. The chief di-
version was an old-time spelling bee,
the sides being chosen by DR.. J. A.
Dobey and j. Howard Payne. There
was much fun had as some of the
best spoilers were seated. There
were left standing on the side OF
Mr.. Payne. During the latter of the
evening a turkey supper, followed
by sweets, were served. All of the
mem bers of the Fidelis class we're
dressed in white with, a touch of
yellow and orange.
The Mary Ann Buie chapter, D.
of c., met on Thursday afternoon
with Mrs. G, d. Kenny and many
| points of interest were discussed.
Committees were appointed for the
rose show of April and also for the
chrysanthemum show. A bazaar will
be held in connection with this and
| it was decided to offer prizes. Me-
mortal day was arranged for and it
was with great pleasure that the
chapter learned that DR.. Pendleton
Jones of Edgefeld had accepted the
