WOMAN'S CHR

January 4 the woman's Club held
group meetings.
The Literary and Home Economic
group met with Miss Moore at the
Tavern. A splendid Dante program
was given, in charge Of Mrs. Dix and
Mrs. Vaughn.
The Educational and Music group
met with Mrs. Noble. An Educa-
tional Survey by Mrs. Wertenberger
made a very instructive program.
Civics and Social Hygiene group
met with Mrs. Taylor. There was
good attendance and q pleasant soc.-
al time. Much interest was taken in
the report of the committee who
visited the Jail and the county farm
at Christmas tine.
A bountiful treat Of candy, apples,
oranges, and nuts was taken to the in
mates Of both institutions. A large
part of the treat was contributed by
the Epworth League and the Metho-
dist pastor accompanied the commit
tee from the club. They reported a
cordial reception and great joy both
in the giving and the receiving. 1t
is hoped that arrangements can be
made by this committee for services
in both institutions before long.
Other organizations will doubtless be
glad TO cooperate in this work. The
need for better equipment for the
public school lunch was discussed
with much interest.
The general meeting, January Is,
at Masonic Hall, with the Literary
Committee in charge, promises to be
very interesting meeting. DR.. Raine

OLD ROvERS

The wisp OF Rover dream,
A laughing lad who was made for mirth
And happiness supreme.
And over the sea and round the world
We wandered and roved together,
A Tilt of song in the hearts Of US
In fair and stormy weather.
But Life took its toll, and tide, and time,
And quayering grew the song,
And days so short when we both were
young,
Now old. are gray and long.
But yet OF a night when signs the wind
And shining the starry sky,
We meet and talk as old men are wont
or the glad old days gone by.
And once again we are laughing lads
Gayly and in fine feather.
A lilt OF song In the hearts of US
We tramp old trails together.
