The .music waw furnisher} by Hall's Or chestra from Cohunbia and guests from nY^ny near-by towns were 'present. .MEETING OF CIVIC LEACH' K 'M The League met 011 High School park Monday afternoon at 0 o'clock. The for mer President Mrs. X. II. Goodaie pro sided and Miss Louise Nettles was sec retary pjjo-tem. There- were no reports from officers or committees. Mrs. Aneriuu made a hiotion that the LeaRue, with the approval and assistance of the City Council plant Youcca on Laurens Street] from Lyttleton to Mill Streets, inclusive. The .motion was carried. The League discussed the Fountain 011 Kershaw Park. It was decided to trim the ivy* and put a new spigot on fountain. Mrs. von Treaekow reported that they would have to pay the maid who takes care of the Re?t Room more or give her up. A committee composed of Mrs. von Tresckow. Mrs. Coleman and Miss WiiHie Watkius was appointed to solicit funds for the Rest Room. The improvement of the Southern an<^ Seaboard stations was urged and 6 com mittee appointed to look into the mat ter.. The League failed agqftk to elect a president and a committee consisting of Mesdames von Trsckow, Edwin Muller, and C. P. DnBose were appointed to take charge for three months, until a president could be secured. . Mrs. N. R. Qoodale was elected his torian. It is the wish of all to see this or- j ga nidation prosper and we trust that the women of Camden wiili *ra41<y to itf? stamlard. "The city beautiful" should toe the motto of everyone loyal to the old town that nature has so generously endowed. Camden can surely be made a land of perpetual bloom that coul4 not be rivaled by fair Japan or any other flowery realm. We dream of the beautiful that is far away but fail to r*ul^?.vatn and develop the beauty "that !?' all c round us. 'Whv thus longing, thus forever sighing For the far-off uiiattnined and dim. ^ While the beautiful all around thee lying Offers up it's low perpetual hymn? .MKT WITH MISS LEILA SHANNON The Ilobkirk Hill Chapter was greatly disappointed when the down-jxmr from leaden clouds on last Thursday nfter n?>ou prevented their expected trip to Kershaw where -they were to be enter tained at the home of Mrs. John Stevens. They were . vanquished in the war with the <4ement? but hope that the promised pleasure is still in store for them. The Chapter met on Tuesday afternoon with Miss Leila Shannon. It was decided to buy the piano and at the very earliest date possible make the Chapter Hall ready for entertainment*. They- hope to give a dance there in* the near fu ture. The_ Chapter will be one of two Chapters in the State to compiete aud furnish the porch of "Taumvassee" and was asked to make it a memorial. The menxbers preferred however to make it a testimonial of love to th?r.3hnng and so t.b<? Ilobkirk HiU tablet at Tammaswe ^ Will- bear the much loved name of Mrs. Mary Ancrum Shannn^i, the Chapter's firs^ regent. An election of officers re sulted in the choice of the following Regent, Mrs. E.

The par.lors were beautifully dworaled in white and green, the chute colors, great quantities of white flower* blend ing effectively with the inas>y green ferns and trailing tmillav. In the dinr lug room jthe class flowers, sweet-peas. nivNiiiiinated and were used I in pt\)ifu* ion. and it was here (hat ice cream and cake were served- the color scheme of gi-een and white being carried out in every ilptail. OaniM were played and wen- progres sive, tin-' score cards liuviug tin* class flower hand painted as a decoration. In an attractive booth on the porch a far-famed fortune teller held forth, fcjhe had eone from afar to portray a happy fortune (we hope) for every youth And maiden. The porch was made further attract ive by a crystal bowl embedded in ferns and tilled with sparkling launch which was served to the thirwty constantly dur ing the eveniui?. The score price for the gain en was won b> Miss 13mm h V+Heplgue and was a beautiful box of candy while Mis** Wilbur McOalluui found ample consolation in a lovely bunch of sweet peas. And so this week fop ?the High School slrlv a i|d boys will he one of happy memories and bright anticipations for "Youth with swift feet walks onward iii the way. The land of joy lies all before his eyes". DANCK AT ^ BLOOMSBVRY *. The beautiful home of Mr. nn'd ^Sfrs. A. I). Kennedy. Jr., was thrown open Monday evening for a dance given under the auwpices of the Red Cross Chapter. It was a compliment to the visiting sol diers and the delightful mUsio furnished by the 42 nd Infantry orchestra. These spacious rooms thrown ensuite made an ?deal dancing hall that amply accommo dated the large crowd. There were no invitations issued, the pleasure of the ovening was extended to all who wished to attend. The affair was quite a suc cess in every particular. What Are Tlie Duties of a fhaperone? In the old days when manners were in bloom, mothers felt secure in allow ing their (laughters to attend any func tion properly chaperoned knowing ' that the chaperones stood in the mother'6 place to safe-guard the reputation of the girl and shield her from any adverse criticism caused by the frivolity, inex perience and innocence of yocth. In those days chaperones did not join Jn fun-mak ing, laughing, clapping, applauding what they considered indelicate or immodest. If the girl was indiscreet she was gently taken aside and advised an<l this nearly always had the desired effect for in most cases it is merely thoughtlessness and foreign to any evil intention. Nor did the chaperones go out and speak of any little indiscretion, rolling it a? a sweet morsel under their tongue anffNqlluding Jo i^ ? in every assemblage that they hap ""p^n to be in. Today they forget to throw the "mantle of charity" around the in discretions of youth and fail to put them' selves in a mothers place. Oh, Change thou art written upon all things and cer tainly upon the chaperones of today. An Interested Mother. SHOWER FOR AOSP1TAL Do not forget the sdiower predicted for June 18th from 6 to 7 :30 P.
