six members of the Potomac Glen
club met at twelve o'clock to en-
joy lovely luncheon. Mrs. Don

the discussion on Rugs Mrs. Rich

New Zealand, held the members
spell bound as she told the life of
women in her country. She spoke
of the progressive legislation of
the country with its old age Sc
curity and health insurance for
every citizen. She told of the fact
that suffrage was granted women
years ago. The fact that cleo
tricity is cheap makes it possible
for everyone to enjoy labor saving
devices. New Zealand must be a
marvellous place to live and club
members will always read with in

! and think of the women there as
friendly, enthusiastic persons just
like Mrs. Richards guest.

in the hospitable home of Mrs.

club, one of the five oldest clubs
in the county. There was record
attendance this month with several
new members. Mrs. Irene Arnold,
president, had plans well in order
for activities for 1916. She ap-
pointed committees and discussed
meeting places. The final details
for settling up affairs of the club
house were discussed. The build
ing has a new owner who mas re-
novated it and viii use it for a
store building. The older club
members had given many hours of
work at oyster, ham and chicken
suppers to finance and furnish
their club. 1t is a changing era
in club work for them but they
will carry on their interests. The
club room had been a real COM
munity center for everyone to use
and was of real value to the COM
munity life. 1t was well equipped
with silver, dishes, tables, chairs
electric stove, oil stove and sinks.
So every article meant some effort
on the part of club members in
raising funds for its purchase.
