he Husbands OF The Club Wo-

One of the most enjoyable enter
tainments ever given by the Ocala
Woman's Club was given at their
pretty club house Friday night when

be an annual event
During the reception hour the most
delicious refreshments of fruit cake,
white cake, cheese rings, ice cream
and coffee was passed by bevy of
pretty girls and club women; the sue
