Yet there is much to consider the color

as the entertaining club. The beauti- ,
ful school building was used for the
meeting and, as usual, the Matagorda
ladies had spared neither time nor
trouble in preparing for the entertain- ,
ment of their guests. The spacious uu- .
ditorium had been attractively ar-
ranged for the occasion and the stage
with Its new wicker furniture and
decorations of pink crepe myrtle was
very inviting while the different dis- ,
plays of pictures, antiques, health
posters, etc., added interest to the
decorations.
All the clubs were represented by
either delegates or reports, with ex-
ception of Midfield and Van Vleck
Parent -Teacher associations The re
ports showed much activity through-
out the county and while most of the
clubs had discontinued meeting thru
the summer months. work was being
kept up by the committees arranging
programs, finances being looked after
and assisting the County Health Nurse
in her work.
From the standing committes more
activities of Hie Federation were re-
ported. Miss Mayfield, County Health
Nurse, had a very interesting display
of posters, statistics and leaflets,
stressing birth registration, pre-school
round-up, care and feeding of infants,
and food for the undernourished child.
Her report appears in another part
of this article.
Mrs. Pollard, chairman of the schol-
arship Fund, stated she had received
three applications for Hie fund, but up
to the present time il seemed as
though there would only be funds
enough for one loan this year.
Mrs. Moore, of the Legislative Com-
mittee. brought the word that direct
communication from Austin had in-
formed her there would be no appro-
priation from the state for an old peo-
ple's home for at least two years. She
gave some suggestions to the clubs
for study, informing themselves on the
leading topics of the day.
The proposition of a county home
for the indigent and needy was one of
the questions most extensively dis-
cussed. Nothing definite could be done,
but the chairman of the public wel-
fare committee was instructed to con-
fer with those who were in a position
to know more about the prposition.

interest at the September meeting

In response to a request from the
chairman of the art committee. Mrs.
A. B. Cairnes, the ladies of Matagorda
and Gulf had a wonderful collection
of antiques, which proved one of the
most interesting features of the day.
In the collection were a number of
books well past the century mark, a
glass lamp stand over one hundred
years old, a powder horn and cigar
case with a war-time bistory, a ma-
riner's compass. book of musical selec-
tions that went through the storm of
’86, gold bracelet and numerous pieces
of fancy work and other articles all
having some history attached to them
and of untold value to those who now
have them in their possession. Another
display of much interest was the pic-
