INTERESTING SOCIAL NOTES
FROM THE STATE CAPITAL

Jenning and Pearson. The trip was
made in Mrs. Hunts new car, which
she is driving herself.
Mr. Tom Hall is now located at the
rectory with Father Bresnaham,
where he will remain until the close
of school. Mr., anud Mrs. Ovid Car
ney, who have been living at the rec
tory for the past year, have gone to
North Carolina to make their per-
manent home, where Mr.. Carney win
engage in the bee business on an ex-
tensive scale.
Tallahassee is slowly turning from
a great flower garden to huge vege-
table garden, owing to the admoni-
tons of Mayor Lowery, who is advo-
eating the conservation of food sup
plies, and the necessary thrift which
is to carry the South through the
coming trouble. More planting has
been done in Tallahassee and vicinity
than has ever been the case, and the
fact that Leon county's soil is among
the best nthe state, is making gar
denlng fascinating enterprise. Since
the February freeze second plant
ing has already brought good results,
and many back yards are already val
liable sources of food supply.
Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, of the
state home demonstration department
of the Florida State College for Wo-
men, is doing more for the better
ment and advancement of the woman
who lives in the rural districts than
any other one person, perhaps, in
the state today. Fer subject, chosen
for the state good roads convention,
held on Thursday by the Florida Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs, reflected
this work of hers, being Good Roads
Their Help to the Farm Woman"
a subject upon which Miss Harris is
very thoroughly versed, on account
of the close touch in which she keeps
with the women who are denied the
conveniences of the city.
Miss Harris is enthusiastic over
the manner in which the women in
the country places of Florida are be-
| coming interested in home economics,
and their successful organization of
, Home Economies Clubs, with the de-
sire to see Just how well and how
economically the homeS may be run,
and how great the results may be to
the families tnmeslvei. She con-
slders that this club work among the
women of the country will, in time, be-
! come of even more tremendous i'm
portance to club work in general. as
the women are taking the matter
very much in earnest indeed. Miss
Harris, who has worked in many
! states, says that the women in the
rural districts of Florida are sur
passing in their energetic desire for
the bettement of the home, ard their
sure determination to carry the mat
ter through.

One of the interesting features of
the Florida pageant, which is to be
given at the Florida State College for
Women on May Th will be the fact
that the characters for the part to
be devoted to Tallahassee will be
chosen from the Woman's Club, Miss
Elder having appeared before the
meeting of Thursday with an invi-
tation to that effect. This pageant
will be among the most artistic and
beautiful affairs to be given at the
college this season, and the members
of the club will make every effort
in order that it's part may be credit
able one.

Jacksonville, are in Tallahassee for
the entire session, and are located

The major is on the governors staff,
and is here in the interests of fed

been lending her influence among the
numerous earnest workers for prohi-
bition who have been active about

lighted with the capital city, and are

Mr.. and Mrs. w. Howington, of
Jacksonville, who have been. in the
city attending the convention of the
Federation of Labor and guests at
the home of Superintendent and Mrs.
w. N. Sheets on Monroe street Mrs.
Howington is especially we'll known
in middle and south Florida as a
social worker of much ability, her
rescue work having been such as to
place her high in the regard of peo-
pie who really known the extent of
her activities. While she is not CO.
nected with any society of this kind,
she has taken many unfortunate girls
into her own home, where she has
cared for them until such time as
they could either become reinstated
in their own homes, or gain a foot
hold again in life, and in this beau
tiful way has done Christian work
which has been truly remarkable in
its satisfactory results.

Mrs. r. C. Long are Representatives
Telfair Stockton and Marion Jen-
nings, of Duval county, the latter
having already earned the title this
session as the "Fool Bill Killer" Both
are making numerous acquaintance
in the city.
Adjutant General Christian has
returned to st. Augustine after
spending a few days with his family
in Tallahassee. He was also in the
city for a conference at the capitol.
Among those who will heed their
country's call from Tallahassee will
| be Mr.. Howard Gamble, who, on ae-
count of his three years. training at
Annapolis, will be especially well

being graduated at Annapolis by a
very slight defect, but, under the
present stress of circumstances, it is
