These visitors arrived on the

Due to illness, Mrs. William r.
Warren, was unable to attend this

lowed. The duties of the president
were carried out by Mrs. A. R.
Miller in a charming and gracious
manner.
Mrs. Miller made Introductory

state officers, and a musical pro-

ton Of the music committee. This

Ashland LA Paloma," in Spanish
by Mrs. L. r. Warner; "The Lamp

sang the state club song, "Suwanee
River" followed by key West"
AS a tribute to Mrs. Love, the club
sang Louise Love-" composed by
Mrs. A. r. Miller, and set to music
by Mrs. John Gekeler.
In her address Mrs. Love praised
che work the club is doing in this
city, both educationally and So
ciaIIy, and stressed the Importance
Of continued activity. She said:
eff there were no clubs like the
Key West club there would be no
Florida Federation, and if no state
declarations there would be no gen.
eral federation. It is the character
and personality of each member
that goes toward the success of a
club" Mrs. Love then gave
resume of the different depart
Ine1ts of the federation and what
they are now doing. She en-
phasized the need of more thought
being given to the fine arts: music,
art and literature and pointed out
that music in these times will take
ones mind off worries and
troubles. She told of increased
interest in. the drama and noted
many dramatic clubs being formed
through the state.
"A department of little women is
now being encouraged by the
federation. This is composed of
girls Of intermediate ages, too
young to join the junior clubs.
These juniors and little women,
must be trained to take the places
Of older club women, Mrs. Love
said.
In addition to the wonderful
work clubs are now doing, the con-
facts made and friendliness that
exists among club women will do
much to offset the communistic
and bolshevistic tendencies now he
ginning to be felt in this broad
land, Mrs. Love stated.
= The club creed came in for a
share of Mrs. Loves remarks, and
she urged every woman to try as
much as possible to live up to the
prayer which opens every club
meeting:
Keep us. o God, from petti-
ness: let as be large in thought, in
word. in deed. Let us be done with
fauItfinding and leave off self
seeking. Let US put away all pre-
tense and meet each other face to
face. without self-pity and pre-

"May we be never hasty in iudg-
ment and always generous. Let us
take time for all things; make us
grow calm, serene, gentle. Teach
us to put into action our better
impulses. straightforward and I'M
afraid. Grant that we may realize
that it is the little things that
create differences; that in the big
things Of life we are as one: and
may we strive to touch and To
