TUESDAY AFTEBY005 CLUB
The TuesdAy Afternoon Book Clnb
met with Mrs. T. W. Watson at her
home Tuesday May 1th.
The president, Mrs. Scoggin, in her
gracious manner called the -meeting
(o order.
The secretary called the roll, each
member answered to her name with
a tribute to mother.
The day of the club meeting foL
lowed so closely the day set apart
for the sweetest celebration of the
year, it was considered not amiss to
add a word on the program for Tues
day for a name sacred to every heart
for mother is a mother, still the holi
est thing of all.
Mrs. White's beautiful reading
"Mothers of Men" stirred the deepest
emotions of those present, while the
sketch of Anna J arris aroused a sense
of gratltnde to her tor her part In
Instituting Mothers Day.'
Reading, "Rock Me to Sleep Moth
er" Wr Mrs. S. P. Boddie, followed by
a duett, "A flower for you, mother
dear," by Mesdames Mohn and White,
Violin Oblige to by Miss Gilbert
'Awake Tenderest Memories of Child
hood and Mother."
Solo by Miss Gilbert "O Little
Mother of Mine" and that sweet song
we all lore "Mother McCree" ended
one of the happiest, saddest best pro
grams of the year.
Mrs. Watson Is a charming hostess
"1?
always. She, assisted by her da
Miss Anna Gray Watson and
Annie Qreett,- Mrs. Watson's sii
served refreshments both attra<
and elegant.
