Banquet Was Delightful Oecaaion. Last Friday evening the Camden Chapter Winttorop Daughters waa hostess at a banquet given at Hob* kirk , Ihn; "which proved to be a most delightful affair, the pleasure of the occasion faarred only by the absence of the expected distinguished guest, Dr. I). B. Johnson, the popular and beloved , president of Winthrop Col fbge, who found at the last moment that ho could not atteud. - . . i ) The guests were received and wel comed by the Chapter president, Mrs. J. Gardner Richards, assisted by Misses Blackweli, JLindsay, Phelps, Corbott, Mrs. J. B. Zemp, and others. The Hobkirk dining room was bril liantly lighted and appropriately dec orated, The table beautiful in its appointments had as a center decora tion a graceful vine of (southern sirnilax running the full length. Covers , were laid for about thirty-five and a, tempting six course dinner served, the place cards were tied with the college colors, jf^rnet and gold. An orchestra consisting of Mrs, F. N. McCorklo, Messrs. Cobb and Camp boll played during the dinner. The chapter president Mrs. J.G. Richards, then introduced Miss Mary Blackweli as tobst mistress ah$ Miss Blackweli in a few graceful, witty and timely remarks introduced the following speakers: Miss Agnes Corbett, who gave a beautiful toast to President Johnson, expressing the lovA and ad miration of all who had received their education at Winthrop. Miss Helen Ph^s then toasted the faculty and dwelt upon the splendid work being dofie for tfrp future citizenship by this efficient bpdy. Mr. Brown, head of the Engl^afr department ? responded* paying a graceful compliment to the girls and saying' that youthful asso ciation kept the faculty young and happy. Mrs. Culvern, of K,ershaw gave the next toast to the alumnae( and Miss Leila Rufcsell, chairman of the extension department responded. Mrs. J. B. Zemp then paid a tribute to Winthrop the Winthrop of yester day and of today and the hopes and dreams for a Winthrop of tomorrow, as it goes steadily forward in the march of progress. She then electri fied the old students with 'a familiar college song. To this last toast> Miss Minnie MacFeat responded in original verse, both beautiful and appropriate and in which she paid a tribute ~ to Camden, to the genial host of the Hobkirk and to the hostess Chapter of Winthrop Daughters. The entire company then sang Alma Mater. - Civic League Meet#. ' The December meeting of the Ciyic League held Monday afternoon in the auditorium of the Grammar school was largely attended and\enthusias .iic? irtl spirit. frhe president) Mrs. William Ancrum, Jr., presided and the secretary, Mrs. H.- G. CarftsOn, Jr., was in her accustomed pltu;e. . Mrs, Ancrum told of plan* thought out for the beaMtification of our streets and pirrks and her list of committees was very complete and efficient. These committees seemed to catch -spirit of enthusiasm and get a vision of Camden as "The City Beautiful" and we believe that in the not distant fu tu re this dream shall be brought to a happy realization. The president read copy of a letter she had written to oqr congressman, the Honorable W. F. Stevenson, ask ing for certain plants And shrubs from the Government's Botanical Gardens, to planted in Camden. She Also read his gifecious reply, promising to yse his influence in the matter. A let ter from the manager of the gardens staged that while they did not have all asked for they would send such as the gardens afforded, that were On list. This was regarded by- the lea^r as quite a step forward; It was decided by the league to make the annual dues payable in Jan uary and to raise the amount from 50 cents to $1.00. Also to put on a mem bership drive, in January as we feel that if placed in the right light before them every woman would be at least a contributing member. No one is benefitted individually, allure benefit ted collectively. Every institution and organization of the town that* \n for its lip-lift " and progress should j zena. May we suggest asking your self a question by quoting a much hackneyed and homely little couplet, "What kind of a town would my town be, if every one in it was just like me V* Those of you who refuse to support the Civic League, the Pub lic Library, the Hospital Auxiliary, the Cemetery Association ? all of these benefit the people ^is a whoAe, ask yourself that question. And be prepared to meet the committees that wait on you in January, mfeet them graciously and generously. You will then take a pride in each, for it will be your own. You will have a person- v al Interest in it, There is nothing sweeter than loyal service. If you have been so fortunate as to have your lives fall in pleasant places and sifrely Camden is one, you owe a priceless service and you *re cheating yourself o6t of real pleasure when you support of its citi PRESIDENT SWAMPED KliH h PRESENTS FROM HOWS Forced to Reject Hundreds of Gifts as Space Is Limited. , ?rt . . . 4 WM#ningto*.? The President -prob ably ivjeet* more otters of gifts than any one else in the United States. Every ttwJi Air. Coolidjce turns down scores of ntYers of almost everything ranging from ajllatnis of all sorts to specially prepared foods. Sometimes llr. Coolldge accepts the gift* offered, when h?> run use them to food advan tage. Hut he doe* not believe that It would he right for him tl? receive the presents! and then give theiu to tome one olw. He has heen coui pel led re cently to refutio acceptance of hun dreds of valuable dogs because there Is no place at the White House to keep them. ? ' Since Mr. t'oolidge hag been in the W hlte House he has accepted six pres ents In the way of pets. Two were kittens, two dogs," one a peacock and the other a grlssly bear. The cats, dogs and peacocl^ are at the- White House now. ' The President probably .jMSfllMW that In order to maintain peace In the animal family at the Whit* House It would be better to keep the bear In some other place. At any rate he had It taken to the Washington Zoo, $fr. ,Coolldge probably receives more books than any other single article. Nearly every mall carries to the White House a book that some admlr* er of the President has read and liked' and decided to send on to the Chief Executive. Often these books are sent to the President by the authors. Boms of the books Mr. Ceolldge keeps while others he sends to the Congressional or other city llbrurles. Small gifts of vegetables, fruits of a)! kinds and flowers are received dally at the White House. Often when a farmer raises a particularly One crop of peaches, he sends a basket of them to the White Hbuse, probably on the theory that the best U uvmS tcc geed tor !!?? President. Sometimes thfe gift is onlone, let tuce, or other vegetables. If the gift Is not too bulky, the President usual ly accepts It and uses It on the White House table. Parcels of /lowers come to the President from all pfcrts of the ^countfljr, chiefly from the growers, who are so proud of tlfem tfcat they desire them to grace the White House, even if only for a short time. But there are many persons who of fer glft| to the President ftor the. sole purpose of advertising themselves or the srtlcle. This Is true of some manufacturers of food products. But Jh**ej gifts are seldom sent, to the WjMf House. The President is by letter If he would accept toJTltft^ m almost every case Mr. ! G#o|ldge declines. ? I ^rr Traveling Cheaply I* N?w Fad of the British ^London. ? Cheap traveling on the Continent has temporarily superseded nonstop dancing and long distance cricket sewing as the , erase of Eng land. The honora of the cheap travel lofodontest, It appears, will go to tlie person who travels the farthest and the longest on the least money.

J.? a ?ieck by Principal Henry P. Miller of th* local high school reveals that 90 per cent of the girl students wear bobbed hair but long skirts. He said: "It Is ridicu lous to say that a girl with bobbed i hair must be regarded as possessing a I flighty nature. In most cases the girl* who wear bobbed hs!r are possessed of restless energy and are fond of thrills. Thepe are the very qualities that we should want to find In them and our reapohslbllity and that of the parents and the community is to give them the right kind of thrills." 8yrla-MedJaz Road Assumes. - Beirut. ?
