The conversation ?\as in itself, a heartwarming ^ occasion- which was proven by the i *e ready response of the hearers who in a short time pledged for their , clubs, $35.00- $17.00 of which wa< ('^ paid at the thue?for curtains; who made individual pledges of sheets, pillow cases, and a suff- *r' cient number of dresses for each te child to Jiave three new outfits. By not being present, you missed the genuine thrill--?almost like an electric shock?which ran thru 'a "the group" at the announcement that the Culture club of Columbn had purchased for the Home, and ^1 had delivered, a COW, at the cost of $200.00, guaranteed to give four gallons of milk per day. Those who were absent, misse: seeing a dream come true. - For along time, Mrs. Marion Paul has thought that the Wilkinson Home lacked sufficient advertisement ^ Through the efforts of the committee of which she was chairman. she presented to the group last Saturday, the # means of giving statewide, and wider, publicity to he the work of the Federated cirbs.

Each calendar is be in envelope, ready for mailing in be packages of twenty-five . each. Di Send for a sufficient number of Oi packages for each club member Si to hav<r one and to sell at least one. The calendars Will make fine T1 Christmas remembrances and the dr Tiosf cards will, with the addition ar of one or more Christmas seals, ba answer the purpose of a Christ- ta m?? greeting. ce The report of the activities o' es the children made by a member tl< of the gro. p was of great inter- $1! est. It showed that the children ft re being trained to be self-help- oti ful and to be genorous. ea The smaller girls picked enough cotton to net them $181.00 with- ch vhic,h they purchased sho"s, socks' wl and other necessities.
