OUTING SMYRNA CLUB WOMEN
Retiring Officers and Chairmen of Cen
fury Club at Home of Mrs. Slaughter

Retiring Officers and Chairmen of Cen
fury Club at Home of Mrs. Slaughter
Last years officers and chairmen of
the Twentieth Century Club were de-
ightfully entertained Friday, May u,
at picnic supper given by Mrs. L. l..
Arts, Mrs. Ernest Slaughter and Miss
Rena ID. Williams, at the home of Mrs
Slaughter near Smyrna. Shortly af-
ter three o'clock the guests arrived
and were most Hospitality greeted by
the hostess and her assistants, Mrs.
Arts and Miss Williams, and from
then on there was just one round of
pleasure. With a splendid view of the
Smyrna River and winding paths
which seemed to lure one on to follow
it, the party strolled along until the
attention was attracted to one time
colonial residence built in 1867. We
stood and wondered and admired
Having been the birthplace of one
member of the party, the old colonial
red and glazed brick structure was all
the more interesting. After explor-
ing the innermost corners of the old
house, we were invited to return to
the Slaughter residence where the
lawn had been put in readiness for
our supper. And it was a most de-
lectable supper, with chicken patties,
ham, potato salad, pickle, rolls, tea,
coffee, ice cream, cake and minis.
Miss Williams, with basket in hand,
very cleverly read her rhymes about
each member of the Executive and
gave each a present most appropri-
ately fitting her work. When the
beautiful sunset was painting the sky
with it's roseate hue, the officers and
chairmen of 1921-1922 left, loud in
their praises of the music and other
entertainment which was afforded
them by Mrs. Slaughter, Mrs. Arts
and Miss Williams.
