woMAN's CLUB MEETING
ON. M. NJ

Woman's Club had a very lively busi-
ness meeting. Mrs. ]. Walter Hood,
president Of the club, presided and
called for the reports of the various
committees. Mrs. E. A. Osborne,
chairman of the health committee,
brought up the matter of the tourist
camp. The camp in its present con-
dition is unsanitary, unsightly and
disgrace to the community. After
considerable discussion in regard to
our tourist camp and tourist camps
in general, Mrs. Hood appointed
committee to take the matter up with
the city council with view to either
abolishing the camp altogether or
making it sanitary.
The Importance feature of the
meeting was the question Of whether
the club would change the meeting
day from Saturday to Tuesday. This
question was discussed from many
angles and the resolution which was
to have been voted upon in this con-
nection was finally withdrawn. How
| ever motion was made that this
subject be duly considered and voted
upon at the general election in April
by ballot.
Mrs. B. F. Condor gave very in
teresting report of the social side of
the convention held in Gainesville.
The business Of the convention was
repotred by Mrs. W. t. Gary and the
club received much valuable informa-
ton and inspiration from Mrs. Gary's
report.

in charge of Miss Byrd Wartmann,
chairman Of music for December, was
given by Miss Elizabeth Wetherbee
and Miss Olive Whaley. Miss Wether-
bee played Chopin's "Deux Polonaise"
and Miss Whaley Rphensteinss SKA
mennpi-0 strew." These piano solos
were very beautifully executed by
