Malvern Hill Club Report Old Man Winter .whistled through the pines the luat day of November, hut that didn't keep the members of ' the Malvern I.iili Home Demonstration club at home. No indeed?they came out 88 1-8 per cent strong, and didn't seem to mind it at all. And while we are on the subject we may j as well mention that this is a comparatively young club but some of the older ones are going to have to hustle to keep up with It. The November meeting was called to order as usual. Mrs. Will Denton had the devotional, emphasizing the thankfulness theme. The project song wus "Come Ye Thankful People, Come." This is a beautiful song of thanksgiving but truth requires me to stute that the way it was rendered by the club members won't bring In any radio offers. Christmas seals were given out to be sold und it was decided to hold the December meeting at night, stressing the social side and inviting the "men folks," Miss Fewell's subject was "Itoom Arrangement," and she made it very fascinating by illustrating her points wifh miniature furniture. Times have changed in home furnishings Just as they have in clothes and other things. Some of you remember the gay 90's (whether you would admit it or not), when you went visiting you were ushered Into the "sitting room" (the parlor being kept for sure enough company). The chairs and Bofa were fat with upholstering?even the most ! innocent little chair in the corner had its red or green bulges. The table in the exact mathematical center of the room was enveloped with a thick cover that touched the floor. The I cottage organ was laden with pictures of Uncle Ezra, Aunt Sue and 1 Cousin Willie. Couch shells, tidies, i calendars, almanacs and gilded cat tails were scattered about in profusion. And underneath it all, stretched from corner to corner was a homemade rug carpet. But today when you visit you will be cordially received In the liviug room. This room Is designed for comfort and beauty. All other things should be discarded. It is well to arrange the furniture so that thero is_a music center, a reading center uiiv of course In the winter, the fireplace plays an important part. Most pieces of furniture should be set to follow the lines of the room or rug and the line of traffic left open. Mrs. Frank Bell helped the'hostess, , Mrs. Molvin Hall, serve refreshments ' consisting of cake, sandwiches and coffee, which with her hospitality combined with a roaring fire was grand on a cold winter day. In conclusion (to quote somebody's old Irish grandmother) "Shure an' it was a foin matin." , L. D.
