In her talk, which held the club
spell bound, Mrs. Ellis £old ofUte
customs of the natives, their ha
bits, their type of life, and the
type of sports enjoyed by the na
tives, together with a history of
the islands and a complete story
of the insect, reptile, and plant
life of the islands.
Mrs. Ellis spent three years in
the Phillipines, leaving the Unit
ed States when she was less than
one year old. After leaving the
United States, she lived in most
of the countries of South Amer
ica and the Phillipines. She car
ries the distinction of being the
first American girl to cross the
Interior of Panama on horseback.
At the present time and also in
the past Mrs. Ellis has written for
nationally known magazines and
newspapers. She writes under
the name of “Valory". She for
merly had a program on Radio
Station WBT, Charlotte.
Any club desiring a most in
teresting program will be very
fortunate if Mrs. Ellis can be ob
tained to lecture and discuss that
part of the Pacific that is so un
known to the public.
