Woman's Club Meets

The regular meeting of the Women's Club was held on Tuesday afternoon, in the clubroom, with Mrs. J.H. Underhill in the chair.  Several members were absent because of killing hogs and being out of town, but a good attendance justified the transacting of considerable business.  17 members were reported to have been present at the Hurlock Club the afternoon they so delightfully entertained.  Miss Dorothy Adams, Secretary of the League of Nations Non-Partisan Association, who spoke on Tuesday, Nov. 24th, was put on record as one of the outstanding occurrences of the winter.  It may be said that the Masonic Lodge held a very brief session that evening and attended the club in a body, and all were charmed with the address.  If she comes in the county again, she will have large audience, although the club room was filled to its capacity.  Mrs. Bennett and Mrs. Harper  were hostesses for the afternoon, and had a pleasing program followed by refreshments.

Ladies Aid Does Big Work
