IN these happy-hearted, bright

~. Success" is their browning
sotto and success journeyed with
1em, for they reached their destina-
on, without a mishap in the most
y-oyous of moods The rest of the
party came out in a car which Mrs.
Cox very kindly drove.
This picnic was planned by Lucille
and Ella Mae Rivers At
the last moment it was found that un.
forseen circumstances would prevent
Ella Mae from accompanying the
party, which was a great disappoint-
ment to the girls as she is a general
favorite with this young set. This
was a foil to their cherished plans,
but undaunted they did not allow it
to Illustrate their arrangements to
make this day Of all days in the
of their lives. A ride in the
boat was not the least
of their pleasures, so with swimming
and other diversions the hours flew
as on wings of the morning and at /
o'clock lunch was served. These
girls are all domestic. Not all their
hours are passed frivolously, by any
means, and this spread was a fair
test of their culinary ability, with
candy and fruit thrown in for good
measure.
In the afternoon dance was en-
joyed and as the "evening shadows
fell" a watermelon cutting was great
ly enjoyed. Mrs. E. L. Bridges chap
eroned the party and Mrs. A. T.
Thomas and Mrs Cox came out and

A Correction
In the account of the missionary
meeting held at the Baptist chuch in
this city last Thursday, the printer
made mistake, making the name OF
Mrs. William Hooker read Mrs. Van
Hood, when it was Mrs. Hooker who
made the strong, forceful talk on
Child Welfare and not Mrs. Hood
Mrs. Hooker is state chairman of the
council of defense and it was along
this line she spoke-that strong, we'll
developed, educated and carefully
protected children were the nations
best asset, and that as a foundation
upon which to, build character must
be the religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ. She also spoke of the nations
call for trained young women foi
nurses and the opportunities for this
training as provided by the govern,
ment. The many young women who
heard Mrs. Hooker were much inter.
ested in this latter phase of work anG
/ hope some from Marion association
will answer the call Young Christian
womanhood can find no wider field Of
endeavor just now.
Mrs. E. Van Hood.
Mr.. and Mrs. Berry Carter ar,
planning an all-day picnic at Sal
Springs next week. Since the rainy
season has set in the road through
the scrub is said to be in fine condi
