CIVIC CLUB MEETS.
Duluth, Ga., Aug. 13, 1924.—The
regular monthly meeting o? the Du
luth Civic Improvement Club was
held Thursday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. R. E. McClure. Mrs.
McClure’s handsome old Colonial
home never looked lovlier thar on
this occasion with its decorations of
old fashioned garden flbwers
Mrs. H. L. Strickland, president
of the club, very ably presided over
the meeting. Her originality was
clearly manifested in the unique way
in which she opened the meeting,
each member as her name was called
responded with either a scientific
fact or an anecdote, which added to
the interest of the roll call. Several
business matters of importance were
brought before the club, after the
discussion of which, Miss Irene
Christian, who was in charge of the
musical program, rendered a very
unusual and striking program, with
the assistance of Misses Constance
Gresham and Edna Lewis. Miss
Gresham dressed as an old fashioned
girl, representing the “Beloved Old
Songs,” sang a few measures of
“Love’s Old Sweet Song,” when she
was suddenly interrupted by the en
trance of Miss Lewis, dressed as the
modern “Miss.” representing the
songs of today.
An interesting debate followed
during which Miss Lewis sang a
number of the latest songs accompa
nied by Miss Christian at the piano.
At the conclusion of which, Misses
Gresham and Lewis joined hands,
and sang a special arrangement, the
words of which were composed by
Miss Christian called “There Are
No Songs Like the Old Song* ’Cept
the Songs of’ Today.” Readings were
given by Mrs. McClure’s expression
class. Those taking part were Miss
es Christine and Kathleen Wright
and Georgia Seay.
A delicious iced course was serv
there are neariy twice
as many Buicks in
service today as ajiy
other make of car
selling at U.OOO
and above «
A
ed. Mrs. McClure was assisted by
her mother, Mrs. Rhodes and sister,
Mrs. Harrison. Other visitors were
Mrs. Harrell Strickland of Wash
ington, D. C.; Mrs. Calvin Parsons,
a bride of afew weeks, who was
gladly welcomed as a new member,
and Miss Parker of Atlanta.
The progress of the Club is very
evident by the membership commit
tee’s boast of six new members since
the last meeting.
The next meeting will be held the
first Thursday in September at the
home at Mrs. Ezra Wright, “The
Department of School and Home
Improvement,” Mrs. D. W, Wilson,
chairman in charge.

alcohol.
