The Saturday afternoon tea, given by
Mrs. Leslie L. Mason, was one of the
most successful and well attended affairs
Of the season. A most interesting feat
ure of the occasion was the raising of
the flag, which, with the staff, had been
given to the club by Miss Mary P. Burch-
field. The presentation speech was
made by Col. George e. Turner In be-
half of Miss Burcbfield and the accept.
ance by Walter L. Gray, Esq, in behalf
Of the president and members of the
club. The flag was hauled to the mast
head by Arthur K. Shaw, q member of
the club who saw hard service and re-
ceived wounds on the battlefronts of
France. Following the raising OF "Old
Glory" verse of "The Star Spangled
Banner" was sung and three cheers
given for the Gag. The entire ceremony
was impressive and confirmatory of the
statement made by Col. Turner that no
people are more loyal to their flag than
We Americans.
