in the chair. Mrs. George Taylor, re-
eording secretary, read the minutes
of the last meeting.
The annual reports of the chairmen
of standing committees were then
read before the house. These reports
showed conclusively that the Wom-
ans Club members have not been
idle during the past year, but have
done a splendid work for Ocala.
All of the committees made fine re-
ports, each doing its work most thor.
oughly with good results. Mrs. De-
Camp and Mrs. Taylor gave reports
concerning the industrial school,
which they have lately visited. They
found a vast improvement there, the
tables looking very inviting and the
detention rooms turned into sewing
rooms. The girls are anxious for call

conducted two study classes, one in
French and one in political science,
and gave most successfully a play

new rugs and other comforts and
