NEW CENTURY CLUB

Mrs. Theodore Aber was chair
man for the program on Monday
at the Milford New Century Club
and presented motion pictures of
the Style Shows of 1947 and 1948
which were taken in the D. Coop
ersmith Store at the conclusion of
the past two club years. In her
comment on the pictures Mrs.
Aber spoke of the black and white
film of the 1947 showing and the
colOred film used in May of this
year. She further commented on
the change in style of dresses and
the length of skirts. 1t was very
nicely presented and much enjoy
ed by the members present.
Mrs. Edward Salevan, chairman
of art, made a report on the visit
of tWenty-One members to the tea
given by the Round Table Club on
Friday and spoke of the program
which included an exhibit of Aus
| tTalian art, the possession of one
of the members. Mrs. Granville
Kinder, cO-hOstess of the club, be-
cause of i'll health, has been re-
leased from her post and will be
replaced by Mrs. Francis Lett
hiser. Members were reminded of
the rUmmage sale on November
20 which will be carried on for the
club by Mrs. Laura Hallett and an
able committee. Support is needed
for this activity because of some
needed repairs for which the mon
ey accrued will be spent. A social
hour followed with Mrs. Robert
Coulter and Mrs. Fred G. GeyeI
as cO-hOstesses.
Next week will be Education
Week. Mrs. Herman r. Phillips
has secured Mrs. Paul Kellogg OF
Dover, vice chairman of education
for Kent County, who will speak
on the proposed legislation in the
interest of Delaware schools. This
is a subject close to the hearts OF
every club member and a full at
tendance is expected.
