Of great interest to the girls is
the designation of Mrs. Walter
Pack as assistant to Miss Turner
to help with the girls All program
Mrs. Pack and Miss Turner had
a conference on March "a with Mrs
John Mccormick in regard to the
Colesville girls Club. 1t was the
first chance Miss Turner had to
meet young John Richards Nc
Cormick, handsome four months
future Boys Club member.
They also met with the German
town Homemakers, who see need
for the reorganization of the work
in that area, now that Mrs. Carlton
Browning is no longer their local
leader.
Laytonsville Club
On Saturday Mrs. Pack had her
first experience with an active All
Club when she accompanied Miss
Turner to Laytonsville.

april has in it's name the sound
of running water. The word car
ries in it the singing Tilt of soft,
warm rain falling on the dark, dead
leaves, the bright splashing of
trout in rising river shadows, the
tender green Of budding willows
writes Dorita Gould Logan in
April Dairy" Scarcely seems true
that winter is past and April is
here and that Sunday is Palm Sun
day, concentrating the entry Of
Christ into Jerusalem, just one
week before Easter.
Easter seems always to bring the
thought of new clothing-juse as
the trees bud cut in different
shades of green, red and yellow so
women blossom forth in hats Of
| queer Shapes and colors. And this
is nothing new or modern either,
for in turning to the Encyclopedia
Britannica to try to find out the
answer to when is a hat not
hat" we find:
Hat: a covering for the head
worn by both sexes, and disting
uished from the cap or bonnet by
the possession of a brim. Ancient
Romans and Greeks were hats
when on a journey-after the Nor
man conquest hats appeared in
England. "a hattie of biever" worn
by one Of the mobiles of the lande,
NETT at Clarendon" was described
in the 18th century.
The caprices of fashions in hats
during the reign of Elizabeth is
thus described in publication of
1885: Sometimes they use them
sharpe on the crowns pearking up
like the spire of a steeple, standing
a quarter of a yard above the
crowne of THERE heads; some more,
some less, as pleases the fantasies
of their inconsistent minds. Other
some be flat and broad on the
crowne, like the battlements of d
house.
Another sort have rounde
crownes, sometimes with one kinde
of bande, sometimes with another;
now black, now white, now russed,
now redde, now creme, now this
now that; never content with one
colour or fashion two daies to an
end". In fact the encyclopedia de-
voted four long closely written
columns to the vagaries of the
chat"
How the folks who are living a
thousand years from now will gig
gle if the associated press account
Of chat party" given by Mrs. T.
Nelson Jeffress of Heigh-Ho Farm
at Travilah, should happen to be
recorded for the ages as it really
deserves to be.
1t seems that Mrs. Jeffress, after
viewing the bits Of felt, straw, rib
bon, lace ruffling, flowers, fruit,
vegetables and feathers called hats,
half hats, cloches, bands, berers,
flower gardens, and various other
names-offered for the adornment
of feminine heads this spring, con-
ceived the idea for a most original
party. She invited her neighbors
to come to lunch wearing their
version of the newest style in hats.
SO much has been written about
the party that we will with apollo
gies to Peggy Preston of the PosO
