SWASTIKA CLUB.
At its regular meeting on Saturday
December, 19th, 1908 the club was
entertained by Miss Lou McCrory.
This was a business meeting bnt
as there was only a small amouut of
business to attend to, it was soon
finished and we enjoyed a contest
which consisted of filling in blanks
left in the story of the first Thanks
giving. The first prize, a beautiful
book was won by Mrs. Keating.
Mrs. H. S. Taylor received the
booby,a pretty red bandanna hand
kerchief. After the contest we were
delighted by being served to deli
cious refreshments by our hostess
assisted by Mrs. Jernigan and Miss
Schupp. During luncheon we were
favored by piano solos by Misses
Janie Schupp and Della Jefferies
which were thoroughly enjoyed
by all. We were glad to have with
us as visitos, Misses Grace Wells
and Janie Schupp.
MRS. CROSSETT ENTERTANS CLUB
The Swastika club was de
lightfully entertained b y Mrs.
Joseph Crossett on Wednesday
during the holidays. The feature of
the afternoon was a contest game.
Terms used in sewing were put in
blanks left in a short love story.
Mesdames W- B. Fakes and H. W.
Burrow tied for the first prize, a
silver thimble with a gold band.
Upon drawing Mrs. Fakes was suc
cessful. The booby, a paper of
needles, was won by Miss Lou
McCrory. Dainty refreshments
were served by Mrs. Crossett assist
ed by Mrs. Beidelman. Upon a vote
it was decided to dispense with the
program at Mrs. McCains on Satur
day and have the meeting entirely
social. Our duties have been ardu
ous and it was thought we needed
the recreation during the holidays.
At a very late hour we thought of
chickens, home and husbands and
hurried to make our departures,
each one declaring it was a de
lightful affair.
Mr.& Mrs.T.C.Hartiu entertained
a number of their friends in honor
of Mr. Hartin’s sister, Miss Amie
of Blum, Texas, with a six o’clock
dinner Monday evening. Quite an
enjoyable time was had by every
guest, Miss Hartin proving herself
a most charming hostess. Among
those present were: Misses Ruth
j Hailey, Janie Schupp and Lillie
Hartin; Mesdames J. F. Morgan,
W. T. McCain and G. L. Carson;
Messers J. F. Morgan, C. Hailey
Dr. W. T. McCain, Walter
Jimerson, R. M- Johnson, Ewell
Pollett and ye writer.
IOWA WOriEN WIN A VICTORY
One of the most signal victories
ever won for woman’s right to the
ballot was the dcision of the su
i preme court in the suit brougt by
; the women of Des Moines, Iowa, to
! have set aside an election involving
! the building of a city hall and the
issuance of bonds therefore, be
cause women had not been allowed
to vote. The Supreme Court set a
side the election as invalid, for in
Iowa women have the right to vote
in bond elections. The case has
been contested through all the
courts, the suit has been carried to
its final triumph for the women by
Miss Grace Ballantyne. Competeut
lawyers declare her argument was
one of the finest ever heard in the
Supreme Court room.
