FRIDAY EVENING,
Toledo Writers' Club
Honors a Local Woman
The following cutting from a To
ledo, Ohio, paper will be of interest
to people here:
"Members of Toledo Writers' Club
were guests of Mr. and Mrs. William
Roemer at their Toledo Beach cot
tage, for the annual outing, Saturday,
the day marking the fifteenth wed
ding anniversary of the hosts.
Mrs. Maoel Cronise Jones, of Har
rlisurg, Pa., a writer of note, was
a guest of the club. Jones read
an original poem, 'Our Country,' dur
ing the informal program. Mrs.
Elizabeth Mansfield Irving read one
of Van Dycke's poems, responding to
an encore with a bit of humorous
poetry- Mrs. Ignore Sherwood sang
•The Star Spangled Banner', members
of the club swelling the refrain. She
also told ' some of her interesting
Washington experiences.
Miss Emily S. Bouton, beloved dekn
of Toledo women writers and presi
dent of the club, presided and gave
one of her happy little talks.
The programs for the year were
distributed. They are Inexpensively
gotten up—although containing an
unusually excellent outline for the
year—are typed instead of printed.
The amount thus saved will be de
voted to Red Cross, the club being
active In all patriotic work.
A simple but delicious wartime
menu was served by members of the
committee.

the guests enjoyed music, tennis,
i sewing on the porches or whatever
; diversions pleased them best. Miss
' Gillespie will be honor guest at a
i number of delightful functions dur
j ing her stay.
NEW CLUBHOUSE
FINELY EQUIPPED
Country Club to Be Opened
Informally in the Early
Part of August
The society contingent of this city
are looking forward with great pleas
ure to the informal opening of the
new Country Club, which in all prob
ability will take place in August. The
clubhouse, situated on a prominent
bluff of the mountains above Fort
ilunter, commands a most excellent
view of the grandeur of the surround
ing scenery. The front of the club
overlooks the beautiful Susquehanna
with a sweeping view and the sides
and rear of the building face the val
ley and the imposing mountains. The
new home of the clubmembers is a
low rambling stone building some
what that of an old-fashioned farm
house in type, and lends itself in a
remarkable way to its unusually at
tractive surroundings.
The wide, spacious porches and the
extensive terraces are distinctive fea
tures of the exterior beauty of the
structure, while the large, commodi
ous rooms make the interior quite as
pretty. On the second floor are the
ballroom, the diningroom and the
men's lockers. The livlngroom, the
tearoom, the bowling alleys and the
women's dressingrooms occupy the
main floor.
The building committee is busily
engaged arranging for the decorations
of the rooms, which will be complete
for the formal opening in the early
fall. The interior furnishings and
decorations will be simple and attrac
tive and in keeping with the archi
tectural scheme of the clubhouse.
The golf course of eighteen holes
lias been completed and five tempo
rary games have been arranged for
the present. Doubtless there will fte
a tournament in the fall from present
indications, when the club is formally
opened to the members. In addition
to the fine golf course there are six
tennis which will delight the
tennis enthusiasts.
The club, which is practically com
plete except for a few minor details,
is, in all, one of the linest structures
of its kind. It far surpasses the old
building at Lucknow which was de
stroyed by fire several years ago, both
in location and structure.
NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY

Society and any others interested will
take a trip Saturday afternoon to
Stone Glen, leaving the P. and R.
