AT SMYRNA CLUB

The women of Smyrna who braved the
storm Wednesday morning TO 90 to the
Century Club were well repaid by the
information gained from the Y. w. c. A.
workers Of Wilmington, who are making
a motor trip through the State. They
were Miss Purdy, Miss Elderslioe, Mrs.
j. r. Haswell and Miss Bringgold.
Mrs. Haswell's singing was greatly en-
ioyed, and 50 was Miss Elderslice's
wonderfully interesting talk, as we'll as
the singing by the trio. The ladies joined
them in singing one verse of America"
and God Bless Our Splendid Men
The visitors found the Red Cross
workers busy, as they are daily, at the
club house, and the entertainment was
a pleasant incident. From Smyrna they
went to Hartly, where they had an en-
gagement for the afternoon.
