familiarized themselves with differ

A programme of Southern folk
music sung by the local male quar
tette was especially enjoyed, also the
Christmas programme of incompar
able Christmas carols most beautiful
ly sung by a chorus made up of the
club members, and several vocal
solos by Mrs. J. W. Joyner. In a
setting of the season's cheery decora
tions this meeting, at the home of
Mrs. Haywood Smith, was one long
to be remembered.
The history and origin of the car
ols was read in a most interesting
paper by Mrs. J. L. Shackleford.
The department officers for the
new year are; Miss Mary K. Jerome,
chairman; Miss Emma Dale, secre
