CLUB BIRTHDAY LUNCHEON.
Twentieth Century Club of Smyrna
Celebrated 23rd Anniversary OF
Their Organi zatiOn Yesterday


The Twentieth Century Club of
Smyrna celebrated their twenty-third
birthday as an organization yesterday
with a club luncheon that in many re-
spects eclipsed any social affair of its
kind they ever held. The weather was
pleasant and delegations and visitors
from all parts of the State were in at
tendance. The club house never looked
prettier with its decorations of pink
and green, while the stage scenery
and effects were not only in keeping
with the performances that were
staged but a real work of art. NotA-
bly, among these was a sketch of the
beautiful lake of "Lochlomond," Scot
land, which Miss Emily w. Spruance,
chairman of program, drew herself
enlarging it from postcard picture
on canvas 7x12 feet. The coloring
effect, proportions and all were ex-
tremely clever; meant lots of pains
taking effort and was greatly admired
by the assembled club members and
guests. To Miss Spruance, chairman
of program; Mrs. Thomas H. Cover
dale, in charge of the music, and Mrs.
E. Marriott Fowler, the gracious club
hostess, was due in large measure
the success of the day.
