wOMAN'S CLUB MEETING
Mrs. Walter Hood Elected President
for the Ensuing Year


brought out an unusual attendance at
Saturdays meeting of the Woman's
Club. Mrs Walter Hood, president;
Mrs L. W. Duval, first vice president;
Mrs. Lester Warner, second vice

secretary; Mrs. H, W. Tucker, treas
urer; Mrs. B. F. Condor, auditor, and
Mrs. L. j. Knight, press manager, will
govern club affairs for 1922. Mrs.
Hood has already proved her execu-
tive ability and wonderful efficiency
as chairman of the victory way COM
mittee, that beautiful tree bordered
entrance to Tuscawilla Park Under
her leadership and with the co-opera-
ton of an able corps of assistants, it
is expected that splendid club work
will be accomplished next season.
After the electio nof officers Miss
Music Bullock pleased all with
vocal selection
1t was decided to have a club picnic
next Thursday afternoon at Silver
Springs. The husbands and children
of all club members are cordially in
vited and royal good time is antici-
pated.
Miss Anne Miller of Denver, Colo,
gave a most interesting talk on her
work as a teacher, and the splendid
result among school children since the
establishment of Juvenile court un-
der Judge Lindsay. She said that he
is not severe judge but leans rather
toward leniency in his decisions. Last
ly she spoke Of the responsibilities of
women as voters. A new point brought
out was that it is sometimes a nuts
ance to vote, requiring hours of
thought and study of candidates, but
no good woman can yield to the temp
tation to stay away from the polls,
as it might always be that her vote
was the deciding one between a good
and bad election.
Miss Miller is sister of Mrs. F. E.
Wetherbee, whom she is visiting,
therefore it will be of interest to all
Ocalans to read the following verses
from her pen:
Song of the Modern Eve on Leaving
the Garden
COPIED from the P. E. o. Record)
Farewell my garden, innocent dream
land,
Sing farewell to mel
For swords ever turning,
Are cleaning and burning
'Twixt me and thee,
And the delicate twists of thy lights
lights and thy shades.
/ shall never more see.
But, if / might enter, would / return
therein,
Forever to dwell?
Nay, the dry deserts burning
Would deny by returning,
That / know we'll
And how my heart leaps at the thirsty
earth's calling
No mortal can tell.
Sweet was my garden in the cool of
the evening,
When breathing perfume
By my love lay dreaming
Of Eden's joys cleaning,
For sorrow no room.
Lo! Divinity lived in each object
around me
And spake in the gloom.
Then another voice whispered, Know
good and evil"
Could resist?
Our hearts leaped with yearning
Toward the apple there burning,
| All rosily kissedi
/ We tasted and knew-with knowledge
departed
Forever dismissed.
Yea, now we know evil; we feel the
| earth's travail,
| Yet faint not, my heartl
l wish love. thou with brain
Both with labor and pain
Shall ease the worlds part.
Out to the desert, so thirstily calling
Let us strongly depart.
Rivers of Eden. Oh, farewell forever,
No more thou shalt trace
In thy wavelet's bright beaming
Where sunlight is cleaning,
Ewes innocent face.
For glad she goes forth with her dear
ly bought knowledge.
To mother the race.
