Mrs. Mary Woodruff was hos
tess to the memiberB of the Home
Demonstration club for the month
of April, with moot of the mem
bers attending.
The president, Mrs. J. B. De-
Journette, called the meeting to
order. The program was opened
-,with the clu'b Invocation.
Mrs. J. N. Gentry was In charge
of the devotional service, the sub
ject of which was “Spring." She
stressed the promise of life re
newed, way of resurrection from
the dead, God’s annual miracles,
and how our lives must show fer
tility Instead of barrenness.
Miss Sallle Woodruff, educa
tional leader, gave an interesting
study on the life and work of the
famous French painter, Jean
Baptiste Carol. She stressed his
beautiful picture “Spring,” by
displaying prints In colors. A
painting of this kind simply opens
the doors of the soul and makes
the world quite new to catch
this breath of Spring.
The roll was called by the sec
retary, Mrs. W. W. Calloway to
which members answered with
their favorite spring flowers.
General plans and suggestions
were made for the district meet

onstration for the month by re
moving the finish from an an
tique chair and showed the proper
method of refinishing. She first
