held its second meeting of the year
on November 4, 1926, at the home
of Mrs. J. W. Dalton, with Mrs. Dal
ton and Mrs. J. W. Morgan as hos
tesses. In the absence of the chair
man, Mrs. Fred Webb, Mrs. B. B.
Doggett, as vice chairman most ably
presided. This being the first meeting
of the year as a separate unit, the
club heard a reading of the treasur
er's report for the summer months
and attended to various business.
Mrs. Barber appointed a committee
composed of" Miss Margaret' Young,
Mrs. T. G. Stone and Mrs. Rice Hen
ry to assist in a strenuous Red Cross
! dirive. Then each division member
was asked to pledge herself for one
lyceum ticket for the play of Novem
ber 18, and thus assure the sale of
a certain number of tickets.
After disposing of the month's
accumulation of business the study
of the day "Tragedy and Comedy in
North Carolina," was taken up, and
Mrs. Bailey gave an inclusive sketch
of "Two Present Day North Carolina
Playwrights (Hatcher Hughes and
Lawrence Stallings.") Mrs. Hoyle El
liott, next gave reviews of the two
plays under discussion "What Price
Glory" and "Hell Bent Fer Heaven."
Mrs. Rice Henry next freshened our
minds on other North Carolina writ
ers with a paper on "Carolina Play
wrights." It was indeed a worth
while program and each "native
daughter" was filled with pride to be
reminded of the fact that North Car
olina has produced such famed auth
ors and dramatists.
During the pleasant social hour,
the hostesses, assisted by Mrs. Dil
lingham, and Miss Emma Dalton,
served a most appetizing salad
course, consisting of pressed chicken
with accessories, carrying out the
keynote of the autumnal season.
