The Womans Club of Mellwood Dlstric
held its annual election on Tuesday
of last week which resulted in the
following officers being chosen for the
ensuing!year:
President, Mrs. R. Irving Bowie
Vice President, Mrs. VIM. S. Hill;
Secretary, Mrs. Albert Ober; Treas
urer, Mrs. J. Dom Bowling; Director.
Mrs. Percy Duvall.
| Two new members were admitted to
the Club. but as this meeting was CIV
en- over to the election of officers, there
was no routine business under consld-
GRAFTON by the Club, but afterward
many matters were spoken of while the
members of the Club were enjoying
the delicious entertainment offered by
the hostess, Miss Frasier, who took
this occasion to present to the
Club as a member, her associate IN
the farm, Miss Bracket of New York,
Miss Hertzog having been called home
permanently by death in her family.
Miss Bracket and Miss .Frasier are
both college graduates, and Miss Brack-
EFT is a writer, and the Club is helped
in several ways by having them as
members.
1t is hoped that more members Will
avail themselves of the library. The
roads are in better condition now, and
until the Club House is built, the libra
ary is at the house of the Secretary,
Mrs. Albert Ober, just short distance
from the Marlboro pike, on the road to
Rosaryvile. ANY day except Wednes-
day, it will be possible for members to
take out books. There are over two
hundred books, and many of them are
new books.
Bids will be asked for the Club
House, and this will make poss ible
definite effort to raise the money neces-
sary to build. The sale of the Cook Book
is continuing to. be most gratifying,
and is holding steadily, If not increas-
ing as rapidly as might have been the
case if money had been used to adver-
tise it. As it is, the book has sold
simply by having been brought person
ally before the purchaser, which is a
slower way than to create demand for
it by repeated advertisements.
Each member is asked to keep in
touch with the other members by max
ing point of reading each week the
news of the Club in this column. There
will be made each week certain plans
that are now being discussed of ways to
raise what money will be necessary in
order to build our Club House, landseach
member will want to do her full share.
The next meeting will be at the
home of Mrs. John .Ridgely, the first
Tuesday In May, at 2 o'clock.
Mrs. Percy Duvall, chairman of Com
mittee on Fine Arts for Prince Geor-
ge's County, will be at home to all
members .of all committees of Fine
Arts, in all Women's Clubs in Prince
Georges County Federation on April
22nd from to 4;30 at the Dover House.
1t is asked that each Club send num-
ber or members who will be present as
soon as list is known. All county
papers are asked to copy this notice.
