CREsTv|EW HOLDS
FORTH CELEBRATION
OF MOTHERS Day

CRESTVIEW, May .4.-Last Sunday !
beautiful, educative and interesting
program was given by the ladies of
the w. C. T. U. in their drive to have
Florida dry next fall. The impor-
tant question of ratification OF the ma
tional amendment comes before our
legislature and officers are now before
the public as candidates. The program
was beautiful blend of patriotism and
Temperance. The interest rose to in
tensity when, at the close Of temper
ance dialogue, the lovely young daugh-
tiers began a slow circling march while
their silyery voices rose in the singing
of Star Spangled Banner. The entire
audience We're on their feet in a mo-
ment and the reverent silence was
greater tribute than loud applause
could have been.
The Crestview public school under
our efficient teachers, Miss Garry l..
Rice and Miss Elsie Mcconnell gave a
beautiful program in advance Of Moth
er's Day-Sunday. The entire program
was one continued praise of mother.
The children acquitted themselves most
nobly and everyone enjoyed the sweet
songs and pretty readings. A beauti-
fully impressive feature was the march
with which the program opened when
every one present was given a white
paper carnation made by the children
themselves. The mothers OF the pupils
were presented a handsome booklet
filled with kind and loving expressions
from their own dear children. These
were made by the pupils in their Eng
lish language lessons and contained
their own original work
At the close of the program Rev.
Owen gave US an interesting address
which was as impressive and one given
prior to it by our beloved minister, Rev.
Putchett.
Then Mrs. Edney requested the pat
rons to remain a few minutes after
dismissal of the pupils. To the pleas
ant surprise OF all she had prepared
resolutions commencing the years
work of the teachers, Miss Carey and
Miss Elsie, as they are fondly known
and inviting them to remain with this
school the coming year. These reso-
buttons We're adopted without one dis
senting vote and then signed by every
one present TO be filed with the county
board of education as the expressed
desire and will of Crestview's citizen
ship concerning the teachers. No great
er recommendation could possibly be
given and everyone was glad Mrs. Ed
ney was so thoughtful.
After this important work was ac-
complished the eager children took tn
visiting patrons around their respect
i've rooms, proudly explaining the ex
hibit work and other accomplishments
OF the year. The mat weaving an .
pine needle basketry was very interest
ing to all.

started out, Helen was pleasantly con-
seious that they would do Warren
credit.
It was five when they reached the
club. A white-gowned uniformed door
man took their cards. Two other ser
wants. in uniform. stood just inside
the door. The place was crowded.
Warren had said there would be an
exhibition of pictures with music and
refreshments, and that some Of the
members would be there as a reception
committee.
But now, as Helen and Mrs. Stevens
stood rather awkwardly in the wide
hall, there seemed no one to receive
them. Everywhere We're groups of peo-
pie in animated conversation.
There were a few men and a great
many more women. And the countless
waving plumes and paradise aigrettes
showed that in spite of Warren's

was most decidedly d dress occasion.
The first room was evidently a
lounging room. Back of that a writing
room. and there were rooms still be
yond of which Helen could see only
the heavy chandeliers above the heads
of the crowd. Evidently the whole
floor had been thrown together for In
reception.
Let's go up to the dressing room
and take off our wraps suggested
some woman as the brushed by.
Helen turned to Mrs. Stevens. There's

who can tell us about things-I feel SO
awkward standing here I"
Mrs. Stevens asSented, and they mad
their way down the hall to an eleVa-
tor. A number ofswomen crowded in
with them.

you-but I've never met one"
And he hurried off without offering
her the slightest sympathy or advice
His whole attitude was that, having
refused to let him take it out, she
could now get it out the best way she
could.
At luncheon 1t was even more diff
cult to swallow and she could hardly
drink a glass of milk. By evening
Helen really began to grow uneasy
When Warren came she waited anx-
iously for him to ask about her throat,
SO she might tell him it was worse and
something should be done After al.
that had happened she hesitated to
bring it up herself.
But Warren did not speak of her
throat He made only few brief re-
marks about other things. Had he for
completely? Was he trying to punish
her still further?
At dinner. even though she made
hardly a pretenses Of eating. still he
seemed not to notice. And then she

This was intended to be concillia-

meekly to the window and as meekly

JOHN THORN DOES A
REAL MOVIE STUNT

Mr.. John P Thorn. the congenial

Saturday evening which resulted in
narrowly escaping injury, although

looked as though the Germans had got
ten after him.

the rear of the stage and the former
was telling of his knowledge OF cleo
tricity and showing Mr.. Keedy many
things about the electrical switches,
which Mr. Keedy took for granted be-
cause his knowledge OF such devices
is about as limited as Mr.. Thorn's is
