20 The Highlands Woman's club can
fully appreciate Robert Burns when he
says, 1.-THE best laid plans of mice and
men gang aft a'glae," and could also
add 'anG the Woman's club" to the
list. AT their last meeting they en-
Enthusiastically planned to plant num-
Ter of memorial trees on the club
house ground in honor Of our returned
soldiers. A committee, who had full
power to act, was appointed to confer
with the Improvement club in regard
to the matter of setting aside the aft
ternoon OF Arbor Day, April IL, and
jointly cleaning up the grounds, re-
ditching the grass plot, putting up the
fence and planting the trees. The
ladies had planned to serve6 o'clock
dinner to the workers at the club
house and to provide MUSIC for the
dancing in the evening" also cards.
On account of business engagements,
late hours at work spraying, etc., a
quorum Of the Improvement club fall
ed to- appear and consequently the
ladies had no opportunity to breach
their scheme. The planting season is
nearly over and if some immediate
action is not taken nothing can be done
this year. A man and horse are need
ed to reditch the ground so that water
may be supplied to keep the grass and
trees now there growing. If such help
can be secured the ladies stand willing
to share the expense. It was also hop
ed that tennis court might be fixed
on the unseeded plot.
