Mrs. Cooper's Address At
Won1an'S Club Enjoyed

Members of the Key West Wom-
ans Club enjoyed a chance of a
lifetime yesterday when they
heard one of the finest addresses
ever made to this organization,
as Mrs. Clayton Sedgwick Coop
er, Miami Beach, talked on the
need of friendliness to attract new
corners to any city.
Mrs. Cooper is well known
author having written several best
sellers, one which has become uni
versally appreciated, "My Lady of
the Chinese Courtyard" Mrs.
Cooper lived ten years in China,
and has travelled widely. She has
the distinction of having organic
ed the first Woman's Club out
side the United States, which club
was formed in China, and was
formed before there were any
women's clubs in London, Eng,
She is the wife of the chairman of
Club of 1907, one of the wealth
lest and most influential Organiza-
tions of Miami Beach.
This speaker held her audience
intensely interested in hearing the
way Miami Beach Woman's Club
was organized.
tits the woman who says where
the vacation will be spent. / found
that women coming to new cities
grew lonely. They rent a room or
an apartment and there they re-
manned. The men folks go to the
pOstoffice and probably meet a
man or two. but the woman re-
manned in her room or apartment.
No one called, and after a time OF
this lonely life she determined to
risk pneumonia back north, rather
than remain in such lonely sur
roundings," told Mrs. Cooper.
ITO offset this condition, after
/ learned that many families were
leaving Miami Beach because of
this lonliness, / invited women to
my home. ] arranged chairs for
80 and $50 came. 1t was such a
large gathering of women for the
first meeting of a club, that the
Associated Press sent it out that
night.

card parties. and at the first Of
these, so tables were filled. sug-

gested moving up and in this way
each woman made perhaps three
or four friends at this afternoon
affair. At the next she met sew
eral more, until in this way she
had somewhere to go and made
several friends.
when l suggested public
dances my friends said | would
have undesirables. l carried out
my idea, no undesirable persons
came and the largest hall obtain
able was the attraction for many
who loved to dance. This helped
lot. Then Carl Fisher kindly let
me use his yacht several times, and
each time ! took out a party of
| SO women, showed them the gulf
stream, the lighthouse on Cape
Florida, and again they made
friends. This went great way
toward the success of Miami
Beach. You have a parallel case
here. Be friendly with the strang-
ers; extend a hand in greeting,
speak to them on the streets. You
can be conventional later, but
greet them and let them know you
are glad to have them with you
and they will come year after
year, because they have friends in
your city or in my city.
I'm China there lis beautiful
custom-that is in China under the
old regime. When a new family
moves into a neighborhood, the
neighbOrs to the south, to the
north, to the east and to the west
of the house newly occupied, are
responsible for the happiness of
that new neighbor. They call
and introduce the new corners to
their friends, in this way there
| is no loneliness among the women
who move into a new neighborhood
in China.
"People want something to take
back home with them. Your Won
derful climate and wide ocean and
sunshine will attract them while
they are with you, but it is the
atmosphere of friendliness which
they take away with them that
brings them back year after year.
and this is something we need to
give them while they are with us,
that spirit of friendliness which
they will remember"

of mental domination, all employed

upon in RK0-Radio Pictures

the screen story of one of the most
amazing international plots Of
modern times.
This picture, showing tonight at
the Strand Theater, with Gwili
Andre, Frank Morgan, Gregory
Ratoff and John Warburton In
major roles is the story Of an at
tempt of a Russian nobleman to
hypnotic an obscure Partisan
flower girl into believing she is
Princess Anastasia, surviving
daughter of the late Nicholas III,
Car of Russia.
The Russian nobleman uses
methods discovered by Mesmer,
Charcot and others in his attempt
to impart by forceful suggestion.
a new personality into the girl,
and to empty her mind of all its
knowledge and impressions of the
past.
The methods Of the French po-

A HOSPITABLE CITY

Editor, The Citizen:
1t has been an adventure into
delight, this tour of Key West, in
the company of Kirke, Bostwick,
Leuthi and host of other good
fellows who represented the inter-
est taken in Key West by her citi-
zens.
Not less was the efficient aid
and comfort extended by Ludlum,
Sealy and McClenahan, who spoke
an drove with official authority as
Mosier, who had come from far
journeyings on plant research to
aid in identifying the wealth of
tropical treasures that line the
streets and alleys of Key West,
searched his memory and thumbed
encyclopedias, as we were guided
to the rarer specimens.
And now, thanks to the aid ex-
tended by Demeritt and all the ac-
tive members of the Conservation
and Identification Committee who
gathered last Monday in the First
National Bank office to give Of
ficial color to the undertaking,
Key Westers can boast of the fact
that they live in Botanical Gar
den and that every man, woman
and child can exhibit to visitors
the treasures of Key West and that
these rare trees take on new in
terest because they are identified
and labelled, and proudly boast
that no other city in the United
States has made such a generous
gesture of hospitality to it's visi-
tors.
One of the finest things about
the tree-naming tour was the CO.
operation and good will manifested
everywhere as we went about seek
ing for specimens of peculiar in
terest. We were welcomed into
yards, through fences, and onto
the second story porches for better
views and Photographic purposes.
and found ourselves travelling
through neighborhood of good
will.
Nothing remains except to at
tach the labels to the trees. Our
work is finished and we depart
with happy memories of city
battling bravely against heavy
odds, battling bravely with a smile
for the stranger and courage and
hope for the future, a city which
we believe will soon enter upon a
new era of prosperity. Without
his knowledge, for his modesty
would forbid it, am writing on
behalf of c. A. Mosier, who has
so generously given of his time
and ability to make this long
cherished dream of identifying the
wonderful trees of Key West,
come true.
Key West has three outstanding
institutions: her glorious trees
that command the admiration of
the nation; her Chamber of Com
merce, a marvel of hospitality
and her Citizen, equally mar
velous for its courage and devo-
ton.
We depart, laden with memories
of hospitality and courtesy that
will abide with us while life lasts
and to all the Key West people,
aud especially to the boys aud
girls, who will so soon become the
custodians of this wonderful place,
we extend our thanks, our congrat-
alations and our goodwill. Guard
your priceless inheritance. help
Nature make your home even more
beautiful. and know your trees as
/ you would know other noble and
distinguished neighbors.
