a most enjoyable program was
given throughout the luncheon which
opened with an address Of welcome
by Mrs j. w Richardson in which
she said that among all the pleas
ures accorded Ardmore, none was so
pleasing as having the privilege to
entertain the ministers of west Okla
homa conference and their wives. Mrs.
Morgan in her usual charming man

in behalf of the visiting guests. She
stated that she had attended 16 an
nual conferences consecutively and
reminded her hearers that she was
among Ardmore's representatives last
year at Oklahoma City. when this city
asked that the conference be held
in Ardmore, and expressed her sin
cere pleasure at being here
Mrs. Chappell who was then in
troduced as hostess of the happy
occasion, was the next speaker. OF
charming personality and a speaker
of ability Mrs. Chappell delighted her
hearers with her clever witticsmc
and the vein of humor which run
through her talk. She dwelt particu-
iarly upon the life of 1.-The minister's
WIFE and glimpse of the manifold
and intricate duties of these "un-
sung and uncrowned queens" as she
so aptly termed them, was given,
and in conclusion she paid splen-
did and tender tribute to these women
who are faithful in the little things,
thus doing their part in the success
OF the minister husband.
Mrs. w. L. Broome of Norman
followed Mrs. Chappell and in a most
convincing manner she told OF woman's
part in Gods creation of the world
and OF her sphere of life. She stated
that woman was the climax in Gods
creations and urged the realization
OF that responsibility. She took oc-
casion to review the position woman
occupies in the world at this time
as compared to ages past and ap-
pealed to every woman to fulfill the
purpose as "the ideal woman" In
conclusion she gave a toast in which
she asked all the visitors to partici-
pate, to the women Of Ardmore.
Mrs. r. l.. Jackson then gave a
most interesting talk stating that
