READING CLUB NOTES.
In response to the call of patriot- |
ism the Reading club left off its pro- , 5
gram as given in the Year Book, for |
j last Thursday and substituted a Tex- j I
as Day program on Wednesday in-11
stead, this date, April 21, being the |
day on which the decisive battle of I
San Jacinto was fought. The day I
made memorable in history as well
as dear to each Texan’s heart, be-, I
cause it made the independence of
Texas from Mexican rule a reality.
This history at San Jacinto is destin-
ed to exert a greater influence upon
the happiness of the human race
than all the conflicts that established i
or subverted the petty kingdoms of
the ancient world.
Quite in keeping with the day was
a boquet of blue bonnets, Texas na-
tive flowers, which were gathered
by the fair hands of one of your
most faithful members, Mrs. W. A.
Bridges, from fields near Dallas, and
presented with love to her co-work-
ers on this our Texas day-.
The program prepared by Mrs. M.
B. Brown was necessarily brief on
account of the absence of so many
j of the members. The absence of Mrs.
I Bryarly, occasioned by a fall, from
which she sustained injuries too pain-
ful to permit her leaving her room
was very keenly felt. Mrs. Bryarly’s
wonderful scope of information al- i
ways assures the leader of\ most pro-;
ficient help. Perhaps our too often,
relying upon this versatile and unsel-1
fish assistance is the reason we are |
| some times caught napping, and find 1
ourselves in a most embarrassing
(stet) when Mrs. Bryarly does not
“show up.”
Our president, Mrs. Frank Run- j
nels, has just returned from the con-
vention held in Orange and brought
home to her club a most interesting
report of the proceedings. We. re-
ceive so much inspiration from these
State meetings, and it so worth while on display at OUT store.—Strip-
