MRS. SALTER SPEAKS
 TO UNITED MOTHERS CLUB

Does Mother Need Her Child" was the subject presented to the United Mothers club Thursday morning when Mrs. N l.. Walker was hostess at her home on Holcombe street.
 Mrs. Fitzgerald Salter, the speaker, brought out the fact that there is a gospel need in every woman's heart for children. This she illustrated in part by the love of a small child fer dolls and later the adoration of older girls for all babies. Mrs. Salter stressed the danger of preparing children for all vacations, save motherhood. She told of schools in large cities where mother craft is taught and expressed the hope that some day Montgomery could add this feature to her public school course.
 Tn conclusion Mrs. Salter said: Mother love is God given and it brings out the best there is in 8 woman-patience, sympathy and broad mindedness."
 After a short business meeting di- rected by Mrs. Robert Whittle, the hostess served chocolate and cake. Her home was beautifully decorated with autumn leaves, golden rod and ferns.
 The guests included the club mem bers. Mrs. Salter. Mrs. J. J. Camp bell and Mrs. W. J. Rhinehart.
