BUSINESS WOMAN'S
CLUB ENTERTAINED

From the marked interest displayed
it is certain that the business and
professional woman's club recently
organized in Ocala promises to be one
OF the most profitable and helpful or
CARNATIONS in the city.
The entertainment last night was
the second social affair that this club
has given since its organization, and
il was one of the most enjoyable oc-
casions ever given in Ocala. Mrs. E.
A. Osborne, the only honorary men,
Der of the club, opened her handsome
home to the club and needless to say
the affair was a most pleasurable one
throughout the evening, as Mrs. Os-
borne is one of Ocala's most hos
pitable and cordial hostesses. The en-
tel tainment committee had arranged
a most interesting program, which
was carried out enthusiastically by
the club members.
The following guessing contest was
first happily INDUCED in for a short
time. 1t was called "The Japanese
Farmer" and the answers were dou-
bic letters of the alphabet:
There is a farmer who is-YY
Enough to take life-EE
And study nature with his-II
And think of what he-CC
He hears the chatter of the-JJ
AS they each other-TT
And sees that when a tree de-KK
1t makes home for-BB
A yoke of oxen he will-UU
With manY haWS and-GG
And their mistakes he will ex-QQ
When blowing for his-PP
He little buys but much he sell
And therefore little-OO
And when he hoes his soil by spell
He also soils his hoo
Following this contest dancing and
masic were enjoyed and all kinds of
stunts, which were most amusing,
were pulled off
Miss Mabel Meffert conducted the
following letter game:
One letter is tree-U.
One means to agree-l.
One is a drink-T.
One is bird. Think.
Now of letters that rhyme
You must guess them in time.
One is an insect, busy all day-B.
One is a river that wends on the
way-D.
One is slang word. it is best not
to say-G.
These letters are not at all hard
E. z.
These form literary composition
S. A.
These letters will decompose-D K.
These form material to wear-P.

Part of house,.
| Body of water-C.
| A box of candy fell to Miss Evelyn
Natter, who proved the cleverest one
at all of the games of the evening. At
the last delightful refreshments were
served, after which the entire party
gave a rising vote of thanks to Mrs.
Osborne for one of the very happiest
times of their lives.

MAYOR NOT LIGHTLY CHOSEN
Chief Executive Of City of London Is
Called Upon to Fulfill Many
Requirements.

Sir William Treloar, in his recently
published book, "A Lord Mayors
Diary" points out that the chief mag
istrate of the city of London is chosen
in quite a different manner from that
adopted by any other municipality in
the kingdom, remarks London An
swers
Instead of being elected by the men,
bers Of the corporation, or council,
who may. and often do. for political
party reasons, choose someone who
has never done suit or services to the
town. LOndOn's lord mayor can be
chosen only from those who have
served an apprenticeship of some years
to the corporation.
He must first be elected an alder
man by the ratepayers of his ward.
and accepted and sworn In by the
court Of aldermen; then he must have
served the office of sheriff, to which
position he has to be elected by the
lfverymen, and afterward approved
by the sovereign.
Then, and not till then, is be eligible
to ask the liverymen to elect him as
lord mayor; the court Of aldermen aft
erward again having the power to re-
fuse him. the approval Of the sovereign
being slse again necessary before he
can take ONCE.
