The Twentieth Century and tfie Ishepen. ing Clubs, as hostessesyf he business sessions were held in e handsome Masonic hall, which the Masons of the town had graciously tendered the ladies for this distinguished gathering of women, and the meeting proved to be one of the most profitable and delightful ever enjoyed by the mem bers of this district, which boasts of being the largest club district in the State Federation. Unusually large del egations, which really in round num bers totaled 100, came over by auto and trains from Charlotte, Mmroe, Belmont, Waxhaw, Gastonia, Besse mer City, Lincolnton.Kings Mountain and Ellenboro for the day. The spacious hall Was beautifully arranged with floor vases and jard iniers filled with giauc white and yel low chrysanthemums, and the spirit of welcome emulated from the graci ous presence of Mrs. R.

Miss Elizabeth Ebeltoft, one of Shelby's most gifted daughters, and secretary of the Woman's club, wel comed our guests in behalf of the hos tess clubs. These gracious words of greeting being responded to by Mrs. Houston of Waxhaw who said in part: When I asked some one what on earth I should say in response to an address of welcome the reply was, "The lady giving the welcome should pay 'We are very glad to have you" and that I should say 'Thank you. We are very glad to be here'." But you know as well as I do that no woman vrho had started talking could stop at that There is an old adage which runs something like this, "An honest con fession is good for the soul". Emu lating the teaching of that proverb, frankness and honesty compel that I make that confession to you at this moment and tell you that I am very j much embarrassed, and since hearing the address of welcome I am embar rassed to a serious" degree at being ex pected to respond fittingly to it, an address of welcome so chaste, so beau tiful, and delivered so graciously and eloquently and breathing the kindly Fpirit of Carolina hospitality. Again in behalf of District No. 4 of the Federation of Women's Clubs of N. C. accept our thanks. And with my heart in my hand and my hand in yours I pray God's ricnest blessings on the lnval. Droeressive Woman's club and the fair women of Shelby." The minutes of the last meeting were then read by Mrs. Joe Wray of Gastonia district secretary, followed by a splendid address on "The Spirit of the Federation" by Mrs. J. R Thompson of Gastonia.

Among the many other helpful suggestions, she submitted a splendid plan to the club by which they should pay their club presidents and district chairmen ex penses to the state meeting. This was followed by a most helpful talk on "Health" by Mrs. Charles Edmond Piatt of Charlotte. She told that now the yellow and 'typhoid fever scourge had practically been eliminated, the concerted efforts of the State Board of Health and that of the club women as a whole, should be in a campaign against the even more deadly cancer and tuber culosis. She asked that the club wom en of this state give freely of their means to a memorial bed at the State Sanatorium in memory of the late la mented Mrs. L. B. McBrayer, who dur ing her life time did her "bit" to help in the fight against tuberculosis. "Service" was the subject of Mrs. ' James Gudger,, of Asheville, inspir ing address. Mrs. Gudger, who is 'chairman-of Community Service, was . thoroughly conversant with her sub ject from a three fold phase.
