afternoon, April 30th, to hear
the delegate's, Mrs. W. B. Car-
son, report of the District Fed-

was held in Bonhara the past
week. Her report was indeed in-
teresting and thoroughly enjoy-
by all, and when she had finish-
ed we allmost felt that we had
been there.
Mrs. Carson came back filled
with enthusiasm over club work
in general and gave us many*
new ideas and suggestions for
the betterment of our town. And
I
too, we are proud to state that
our delegate introduced two of
the leading resolutions of the
session; both were in regard to
Education, One was that our
state should have Compulsory
Education, and the other that
the Domestic Science and Man-
ual Training departments be in-
stalled in all freesohool districts
both rural and city.
Mrs. Tompkins who also at-
tended, supplemented Mrs, Car-
son's report with a few thoughts
that particularly impressed her.
The meeting adjourned with the
kindest wishes of the Club for a
happy and profitable holiday
time from our new President,
Mrs. J. B. Pondrom. The hos-
tess served a refreshing ice
course. We were glad to have
with ua aa guest Mrs. Barnard of
Dallas.

Mrs. J, C. Saunders was the
charming hostess yesterday eve-
ning at a six o'clock dinner giv-
en in honor of a few of the visit-
ing club women.
The color scheme of the dining
room was green and yellow, sug-
gestive of springtime. Potted
ferns were placed here and there
and the square table in the cen-
ter of the room was most artist-
ically arranged. Silver and cut
glass glistened on the handsome
hand-made lace cloth which was
8pread over yellow. A bowl of
dainty yellow field flowers
formed the centerpiece, and yel-
low hand-painted butterflies
served as place cards. Covers
were laid for six and a delicious
six-coures dinner was served.
The guests were Mrs. Connery
of Fort Worth, State chairman
of music committee; Mrs. Thom-
as of Honey Grove, State chair-
man of finance committee; Mrs.
Muchert of Sherman and Mrs.
Saunders' house guests, Mrs.
Carson and Mrs. Tompkins of
Pilot Point.—Bonham Daily Fa-
vorite.
