Tin y should see the great dining room and taste the real milk .-.ml butter furnished by Win throp's prise herd of Jersey's. If you ?ire seeking physical comfort, sorely you can hud it lu re. bui Instead o* the rocking chairs and eternal fancy work of the summer hotel, you will lie given an opportunity to learn What? \\eii, the thing you mosf wish know.

There need hi: no Hooverising at this 'feast of reason." Bui to the club woman who hai come with tin- desire to harn lirst 10 he a more capable officer or mem? ber of her club, there are two offer ings in tin- summor course, which have nral place in her interest. These are parliamentary law and public speaking. h w .mi.I seem that e\ ?-ry delegab who has ever attended a convention and realized how Vitalis necessary a knowledge ?l parliamentary law , it j '.ui Ii in i In- elm ir ami on the floor, I?

Perhaps you feel thai all this cop-* titutea too strenuous a life for July.

No matter how weary you may h<' a plunge into its crystal coolness v.ill art like the revivifying waters of the fountain Of youth. Ther<- are always delightful events arranged for the open hour in the auditorium in the mornings and even? ings. Such an event was the visit of Dr. Vnhs Howard Shaw on the 10th. l or over an hour the club women listened with absorbed interest to the :dory of her life and the story of tho uii i age movement as bound up with it. I in the afternoon |n open conference die explained to the club women the work- of the woman's committee of the Council of Defense of which she is ' chairman und answered questions. Among other prominent men and Wo? men who have added to the interest of the course are Dr. Liberty Hyde Bailey, Dr. Henry R. Jackson and Miss Ida TarbelL The Devereaux players, well known in college circles entertained two evenings and at a matinee qnd several concerts were arranged. The club women of Rook Hill have proven most hospitable and gracious I ?> teases to the visitors and many teas and drives have added to the pleasure of the two weeks spent hen>. i>n Wednesday afternoon Mrs. Alex Loa- entertained. gaVS a beautiful garden party in honor of Mrs. Deroy Springs, president of the South Caro? lina Federation of Women's Cluhs, iiul the visiting Club women. The 'hamher of Commerce arranged a Irive for Friday afternoon, and gave i he clttb women an opportunity ot eeing the city of Pock Hill and the fertile farms around it. There shall he no apology for a monopoly of space in the publicity column this week in favor of the club woman's course. 1'resident Johnson and his faculty have done so much, for the phasure and profit of thosS a ho have come to Winthrop, that wJ a a nt those who diu not come to be wry and to realize what they have missed.
