-NICE WORK, LADIES!
(Lamar, Mo. Democrat.)
Mrs. Zona Wooldridge was
hostess to the Sunshine Thimble
Bee Club. Thirteen members,
six visitors and guests enjoyed
the day. Several hours were
spent piecing a depression quilt
from small tobacco sacks which
were utilized by the hostess. It
became a work of art as the
ladies deftly plied their needles.
