The recent meeting of the Apollo

the home of Miss Emma Bouknight,
was a most delightful one, and the
cordial hostess arranged several
pleasant features. During the busi-

have taken a part.' The program,
which was in charge of Miss Sallie
Hayward, was an open one, and
proved most enjoyable, there being
several papers prepared and several
musical selections. Later all were
invited into the dining room, which
was pretty in decorations of red and
white, red shaded candles being
used. Three little Red Cross nurses
in uniform sang of their mission
and work, and then served to all
delicious salad course with iced
tea. The guests were reluctant to
leave such pleasant surroundings.
