HARMONY CLUB
Tlie write up of last meeting
of the Harmony Club held in the
lovely home of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Starcke was not correct,
owing to misunderstanding, so
Town Topics offers supplement
ary work and suggestive num-
bers omitted in the fcremention-
od irticle. Tim programtne was
as follows: Instrumental duet
by Mesdaines McAfee and Ran-
some; vocal solos by Mesdaines
Eugene Perkins, J. T Hasler
and W. J. Rogers and Miss Una
Craft: piano selections by M rs.
Ransome and Miss Helen Hill of
Austin. A guessing musical
contest aflorded much interest
and amusement. The refresh-
ments consisted of chicken salad,
stuffed dates and grape juice
punch. At this Christmas meet
ing Mrs. M. I). Orgain read the
following poem and dedicated it
to the club. She claims no merit
for it and consented to its publi
cation only at the urgent request
of the club.
THE SECRET.
2 wifch I knew the secret that tells it-
self in song,
As the silver-throated Oriole thrills
sweetly all day long,
Id the lodges of the forest, or with
whispering pines at night,
In the brightness of the sunshine, or
the moon's i.oft mellow light.
And nature has a secret, for which
nr. an finds no word,
We hear it echo softly in the sing-
ing of the bird:
The bursting buds in Springtime, un-
folding on the stem
Are weaving rosy garlands for na-
ture's diadem.
Or, ever/ side are voices, so low, so
soft, so sweet,
We wonder if they're coming from
the violets at our feet—
From out the dreamy stillness, no an-
swer comes to tell
The mystery of the secret that na-
ture keeps so well.
The driving snows of winter, the deep,
brown, fragrant woods.
The green and golden banks of
moss, beside the brimming floods,
The thread-like roots, that grow so
deep beneath < arth's leafy mould,
These keep within their mystic liv<-
h secret yet untold. *
The rVep, dark caves of ocean, the
broad lake's mirrored breast
Tl te aisles of arching woodland,
where evening shadows rest,
Thi voice of mountain torrents, the
call from leafy dell,
These speak to us of nature, but
keep her secret well.
Whence coires tfee t" i ito hue that
greets the rising dayV
Wheece goes the golden glow as
evening fades

The silvery veil of mist that wreathes
the distant peak
Is the touch of God's own hand,
His breath upon its cheek.
Oh! heart of mine be glad; the earth
and sky and air.
Are full of joy for thee, there's music
everywhere;
Go forjh to love and duty; that day
eari ne'er be long.
Whose close still holds the secret that
tells itself in song.
DELIGHTFUL "12" PARTY
On Tues 'ay afternoon Mrs. K.
M. Trigg and daughter, Mrs.
Frank Birmingham, of Fort
Worth, entertained their friends
in the palatial Trigg home by
giving a most enjoyable "42''
party. Twelve tables were set
for the players and right earn-
estly did thepla.vurs enter into
the excitement of the games,
which resulted in the prize being
awarded to Mrs. J. S. Jones,
consisting of a cut glass perfume
bottle. Refreshments were
served as follows; Chicken a la
King, fruit salad, pickle, coffee
and hot biscuit- Besides the
pleasure found in these social
meetings of accustomed Bastrop
friends and neighbors, comes
the rare pleasure of greeting
the native Bastropians who have
married and left the home nests
and like the swallows at certain
seasons homeward fly and then
are gone, leaving meanwhile
sweet memories of the happy
golden days.
MRS. WHALING'S BIliLE
CLASS
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Whaling held the first meeting
of the new year with her Bible
Class, calling them together in
the cozy parsonage ui der the
spell of her efficiency as hostess
and instructor, and the lesson
for tlit> hour was most interest-
ing and profitable on the subject
of "Christ at the Feast of Taber-
nacle," and including valuable
thoughts or. Christ s teaching as
to our right to judge and con-
demn when He uttered the fa-
mous words of wisdom, "Lut
him thai is without sin cast the
first stone. ' The meetings are
held weekly on Tuesday after-
noons, and every person would
be benefitted by spending that
hour studying profound Bible
truth under the guidance of this
gifted woman.
CEMETERY ASSOCIATION
At the Public Library Room
on Tuesday afternoon the Ceme-
tery Association held its regular
January meeting with the presi-
dent, Mrs. W. A, McCord, in the

were elected to serve this year;
Mrs. W. A. McCord, president;
Mrs. 15. D. Orgain, recording
secretary; Mrs. Robert Myers,
corresponding secretary, and
Mrs. Alf Jung, treasurer. The
motion prevailed to g-> back to
the old custom of holding rogu
lar meetings on first Monday in
each month.
"EXCHANGE" NEW YEAR'S
PARTY.
On New Year's day, in th<* after-
noon while all the world outside
was cold and gray and sleety,
there was one radiantly bright
scene In Bastrop as the lovely
Maynard home opened doors and
guests received welcome to a
Woman's Exchange Party fur-
nishing a social function at once
unique and most enjoyable un-
der supervision and direction of
the presiding genius, Mrs. W.
E. May rd, who always reveals
herself an adept in the art of en-
tertaining. The occasion was in
honor of Mesdaines Mitchell

hold, home for tthe holidays.
