Sometimes a .newspaper man stum bles over what he knows is going to be a "story" when the time comes lor it to be "sprung," excusing edi tor's parlance, and this was the case this week with this correspondent when an invited guest for a short time, at the home of Mrs. .Marshall Wil liams, president of the North Caro lina Daughters of the ' Confederacy, there was seen in her studio just in completion an oil painting of the latS Col.

The regular meeting of the House wives' League was held yesterday af ternoon, tbis being the first one to be held in their new quarters in the base ment of the Trust building. There was an unusually large attendance.

Miss Waddell, the capable secretary i of the league, has assumed charge of ! the rooms and will be there every day to ' receive the exhibits of the mer chants.

Stover, of Wilmington, is carrying on one of the most successful year's work in the history of Sorosis, the oldest club in tne Federation, of which she is presi dent. "North Carolina Sorosis, like some younger clubs, has felt the neel of a club house, but unlike many other clubs has a good sum of money on hand to 'begin such a building and is going ahead right away. They real ize the folly of spending money for real estate when donors are ready to offer sites in the beautiful new sub urban developments around the city. The clu5 has frankly- announced that it is in a receptive mood and will ac cept the lot or site offered tnat best meets its needs, all realty companies having notice to try for a valuable at traction to add to the suburbs they are developing in a try to meet the ap proval of the club women of Wilming ton in the gilt-of a home site. . '"It was the -other way V round in Charlotte, the promoters of - home building sections made overtures to the club, the owners of Myers -Par h, the ' most distinctive suburb or . home section of any city fin the South, mak ing the first officer seevrai years ago; however, the cluti, house, itself, is still a dream palace, without foundations or turrets.., , . ; " -.- "Possibly no club, in the Federation has 'been honored 'by visits of a great er "number, of members or , the btate Council in one club year, .Education Day Miss Edith Roysterivof Raleigh, chairman ofJefdslation arid & distinc tive character; and force in education al work in the state, was guest or no-, nor and speaker.

" 'Mrs. Lingle exemplifies that nob lest type of. woman the woman citi zen needed! to. save the, present age.

"'Mi's. Ingram, chairman of conser vation, made a plea for mothers to ed ucate their children to lo've trees, plant trees, love bird live, to save the birds. and set the -example by refusing to! wear certain sorts of 'bird plumage upon their hats, and discourage the awful slaughter o? birds for millinery traffic. The public school she said, is the place to train for future citizen ship, and all these subjects should be given careful attention therein.' " I Medals on Display.
