little hearts and cuptds with appro-!
prlate bits of verse on each.
After enjoying a pleasant hour at
rarrin the gut sib were Invited Infn th?
dining room. The chorus of "oh's"
and "oh's" from each one attested to
the^tabtF decorations..
The picturesque centerpiece of red

large heartB, from whicn garlands of
red ribbon extemteiLto_jjie lovely lit

of which waa written the program of
the afternoon.
The CHfb was called to order by the

The first subject was Wagner. Miss
Alten read a line appreciation of the
life and work of the gifted genius.
Miss Adams came next on the program
with two papers, the first on "Parai

Those papers were both interesting
and instructive and written in a style
well suited to the theme of which they
treated. ,*
I Miss Petty next gave th her usual
skilful and artistic manner the vocal
solo "My Laddie." Mrs. Johnson read
an interesting and up-to-date exposi
tion of the current topics of today. ,
A fitting climax to the whole nr6
gram was Miss Lane's reading oL-^The
Lion and the Mouse." This heading
was adapted by Miss Lan^irom the
novel of that name and Wr facile im
personation of the dKferent charac
ters represented ahotoed unusual tal
ent as well as th^Dest of training.
After the pp6gram was concluded

viB8 cream chicken on toast, green peas

too good to eat and taBted as good as
it looked. *
TUESDAY AFTERNOON BOOK CLUB
"The flay was cold and dark and
dreary, It rained" and such was the
day that the Tuesday Afternoon Book
Club met with Mrs. E. S. Ford.
What if the air did have a nipping
tooth, our hearfei beat high, knowing
from past experiences, that we should
find good cheer within*
We stepped from the atmosphere of
rain and sleet into a glow of light and
warmth, where were flower* blooming
*ind their sweet perfume scorned to
Join the hostess in -ber cordial wel
come.
Mapter Charles Ford greeted the
guests at the door and his genial smile
beamed the hospitality one always
feels in Mrs. Ford's home.
Miss Peggie was there too, ready to
entertain each and every guest.
At a glance one recognized the fact
that the spirit of the good St. Valen
tine was lingering near.
Mrs. Ford presented a heart-shaped
progrAm to each one there and then
the meeting was called to order by the
President, who asked for the minutes
of the last meeting and the roll call,
to which the Secretary responded.
There was no business for the day.
The following program was render
ed. The subject was Russia.
Mrs. Beck's paper "Home Life in
Russia", read by Mrs. W, K. White
gave a graphic account of me early
days of ROlftia under Peter the great.
The blazing the trail by the poor peas
ants of many nationalities, the sacri
fices, the privations and loss of life,
until they grew to a higher level. Of
their customs and morals In the dark
days and on to the present.

The reading from Tolstoy by Mr?. J.
MRS. CRAFT DREADED
FOR MliHT TO COVZ '
Year* Of Suffering Overcome By Tsk
in K Tanlac, Declare? She Can't
PraJ*e It hnooirli.
"If I had only believed what the pe?
pie said about Tanlac when 1 first
read about It. I would have saved my
self many months of suffering, to say
nothing of the hundreds or dollars' I
spent In vain attempts to get my
health back", said Mrs. Annie F. Craft
Lipscomb Station. Birmlngnam, Ala.
"For four years I suffered from acid
stomach, sick headaches nnd awful
spells of nausea. Orten I was confln
ed to my bed for three or four days
at a time and I couldn't get out of t h?
house for a week or two. It was sim
-PIjl out of the question for me to do
any tiouseivork aint t na? to hire -JL
girl to help me. I used to dread~to

duty to tell everybody I can about this

White sang* "Deep Hlfei." an old ne
gro spiritual arranged by Harry Bur
leigh, whose settings of these songs
have gained him such wide fame in r^
rent years. Coming with more than
usual solemnity, this prayer of th*
negro whose "hope is. over Jordan"
impresses the listener wrth the intense
Terror oTTHe supplIanT! Each sep
tence is full of religious petition of
the soul "which desires "to cross over

Mrs. Palmer gave a. paper "RuaiIa1*.
Gift to the World." She took as her
theme the higher life of Russia and
touched briefly on Art, Music, Uterar
