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

PRESIDENT SWAMPED KliH
h PRESENTS FROM HOWS
Forced to Reject Hundreds of
Gifts as Space Is Limited.

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.

Girl.;Wfco; Wear Bobbed
Hair Fond of Thrills
Atlantic City, N. 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."
