afar, the White House reception and
other events OF that day were rained
inside and, except for quantities of
Spring flowers, there was the same mo-
notonous old atmosphere of a Washing
ton Winter reception about events.
The Secretary Of State and Mrs.
stimson were particularly blest, as
were their more than thousand guests
with fair day for their entertainment
of the delegates TO the international
Chamber OF Commerce meeting, and
truly a more charming sight could not
be found than Woodley, with its wealth.

Commerce Conference and their ladies

room, where state receptions are held
and with but little change from those
ceremonies. The Presidents military

were served IN the state dining room.

NEW CENTURY CLUB

Monday was the thirty-third birth
day of the Milford New Century Club
and as it is the usual custom, the
annual luncheon was given on that
day. A large number of visitors
were here for the celebration and
helped to make the occasion a happy
event. The program was given in
/ the club rooms and was entertain
ing and enjoyable, made so under
the leadership of Mrs. E. J. Lewis.
| For four or five years Mrs. Lewis
has done this for the club and each
time her choice of the kind of pro-
gram has given much pleasure to
the members and their guests and
they in turn have had nothing but
cOmmendable praise for Mrs. Lewis.
| The program was as follows:
Words of welcome, President,
Mrs. Walter X Barrett.
Springtime," club chorus.
Duet, "Oh, That We Two Were
Maying," Mrs. J. Postles Hammond
and Mrs. Harry Mulholland.
Address, "The Box Singing Tow
er." Mrs. William Barrett of Cam
bridge.
Play, "The Sweet Family" men,
bers of the club.
Solos, Good Night" and Mighty
LAX Rose" Mrs. William Warren.
when Twilight Comes" and
Sweet Miss Mary" club chorus.
Those taking part in the play
were Mrs. Andrew Grimes, Miss
Elizabeth Messick, Mrs. J. POstles
Hammond, Mrs. Neal Wilkins, Mrs.
Harry Mulholland, Mrs. Earl At
kins. Mrs. Paul Willis, Mrs. John
Burris and Mrs. Elizabeth Riggs.
Each one portrayed her part so
well that every one cOmplimented
them on it. The Singing Tower was
made very real to the audience by
the word picture that Mrs. Barrett
gave.
The luncheon was given at the
Windsor Hotel, and that seems to
assure one that it was just right,
too. Arrangements were made by
the club hostess, Mrs. Oscar Acker-
man and all details were planned
for and carried out. Mrs. A. NJ.
Eells asked the blessing. After the
luncheon had been served, Mrs. Bar
rett gave a very fitting toast and
then called on the State President,
Dr., Dalema Draper to speak. DR..
Draper's remarks were on the Home
and the Club and the ideal way of
combining the two. Greetings were |
given by Mrs. Samuel ROlph, of Will |
mington, vice president for New
Castle county; Mrs. Robert Lewis, of (
Dover, vice president of Kent cOun-
ty and Mrs. Edmund Barsham, of |
Wilmington, state chairman of mo-
tiOn pictures. The thanks of the /
members of the club go to those
who in any way made such an af-
ternOOn of pleasure for those who
attended the luncheon.
Next Monday at the club will be
Public Welfare Day with Mrs. r.
Mabel BOwser as chairman. 1t is of

EMERGENCY HOSPITAL

To help with the running expenses
of the Milford Emergency Hospital,
the Auxiliary of that worthy insti-
tuition has planned several activi-
ties of various kinds. Just at this
time when there is much illness OF
many sorts the hospital is almost
oVerfowing. But, at the same time
money is scarce and not all of the
patients are in a position to pay
at once for the care they are now
getting. That does not alter the
fact that bills must be met by the
hospital, so on Saturday, tomorrow,
that is, the Auxiliary will have a
bake for the first activity. 1t will be
held in the Office lately vacated by
r. Carlisle Collins. There will be
clam chowder, vegetable soup, pies,
cakes, and rolls for sale. On Tues
day, February "a, the monthly card
party will be held in the Nurses
Home. Mrs. Thomas Simpson and
Mrs. William Hallett are in charge.
The last two have been so well at
tended that the second room was re-
quiTed to take care of the overflow.
On Friday afternoon, February q at
the Nurses Home there will be lin
en- shower for the hospital. 1t does
not matter what the article is--tOw-
els, wash cloths, tray cloths, pillow
slips, sheets, in fact any thing in the
way of linen that can be used in
hospital will be gratefully accept
ed This is splendid way to make
a Lenten offering, and the aforesaid
worthy institution will be the re-
ntnienf s.---

WILDWOOD HAS THE DISTINC'
TION OF BEING THE CENTER
FOR THREE EXTENSION
WORK CLUBS

The Home Demonstration Club o.
MillwoOd met at their community
building on February 4 for an al
day meeting. The members were de-
lighted to have their county leader
Miss Whitcombe, back with then
again after her long illness. A short
I morning session was held and the
State nutritionist, Miss Pearl Nc
Donald, talked to the ladies about
how to keep themselves physical
ly fit" A delightful luncheon was
served at noon.
At 1870 O'Clock the meeting was
again called to order and an elec-
ton of officers was held.
For president, Mrs. Jennie Short;
secretary, Mrs. Dale Scarborough
treasurer, Mrs. Russell Robbins :;
one member of the advisory council,
Mrs. Roland Davis. A suggestion on
taking up some community project
was then considered and it was de-
cided that the club would. during
the summer do some canning for
the Milford hospitals.
uG IuGGLlDS was LllGu SlNCl ONGl
to Miss Mcdonald who told of some
very necessary things that should be
done in our daily living in order to
ward off diseases and how very i'm
pOrtant it is to visit your doctor
twice a year for examinations in or
der to know what diseases may be
entering into the system. The meet
ing was then adjourned until March
when Miss Mcdonald will be with
them again and at this meeting will
demonstrate how to cook some
foods. This will be of much inter
est to all to see how the foods are
prepared and cooked. Later in the
year the club plans to take up re-
arranging 'of kitchens. Under some
previous instructions given by Miss
Whitcombe some beautiful old
chairs have been brought down from
the attics and made useful again
with recaned seats and coats of var
nish.
Besides this Home Demonstration
Club there are also two All Clubs

with Francis Dill as leader, and

AT THE REESE THEATRE
THE COMING WEEK

Two of the best pictures of the
season close the present weeks bill
at the Reese Theatre, located at Har-
rington. Kathleen Norris Passion
Flower" with Kay Francis and Kay
Johnson is the attraction for Friday,
Feb 20, and Lois Moran is the star
of Under Suspician,' the mOvietOnG
song romance, listed for Saturday,
Feb. 81.
.. In keeping with the Rcese-RialtO-
Keith COmpany's policy of giving to
/ Delaware and Maryland the best in
sound and the latest pictures, comes
the announcement to be found in this
newspaper that Joan CrawfOTds
latest hit, Paid will play at this
popular theatre Monday and Tues
day, Feb. % and "a. III paid" Joan
Crawford scores the greatest hit of
her career i'm the role created by
Jane COwl on the stage. Such a
wonderful picture combined with the
Giant RCA General Electric Sound
System should give movie fans the
treat of life time. Paid" is
adapted from within The Law" and
is considered by those who know
the supreme dramatic achievement
of the present season. To miss it at
the Reese Theatre means the sacri-
flee of seeing a wonderful presenta-
ton.
Only after much effort was Art
Arcari, Americas ace of the accord
ion, and popular broadcasting and
recording artist, secured to make
personal appearance at the Reese
Theatre. Negotiations were just COM
pleted and Mr.. Arcari will be the
guest artist on Wednesday and
Thursday, Feb. 25 and 26, with the
initial showing of Once A Sinner"
featuring Dorothy Mackaill. No pic
ture released this year achieved the
success of "Once A Sinner" when it
played the Fox Theatre few weeks
ago. In the role of the girl with
past, and her struggle for happi-
ness, Miss Mackaill climbs to greater
heights on the roll of honor.
Theatre fans will be given a treat
when they hear the Original TOoner-
vile Comedy Four Friday and Sat
uraday, Feb 81 and 2S. This prize
winning comedy quartette of radio
fame not only deals in melody but
dispenses synthetic doses of comedy
that hits the funny bone with thud
that can be heard throughout the
theatre.

Cock-Eyed World" appears in "a
Devil With Women" the screen at
