The Blue Itonnet Study Club
1 observed Texas Day last Wednes-
day, with a program luncheon in
I the home of Mrs. W. H. Green.
Blue bonnets in bowls, baskets and
' vases were attractively arranged
I throughout Mrs. Green's lovely
rooms. Roses, from Mrs. J. D.
Meredith's garden at Moran, also
' lent their beauty and fragrance to
. the occasion. The luncheon was
' served buffet style from the din-
| mg table, which was laid with a
•beautiful lace cloth, with silver
i appointments and centered with
| blue bonnets. The menu carried
! the Spring suggestion of fried
I chicken, new potatoes with cream
sauce, green peas, delicious white
salad, followed with fresh straw-
berries in patty shells, topped with
whipped cream, and coffee.
Seven table- were conveniently
arranged for tho twenty-eight
members and guests. Small maps
of Texas, with the ,-taff of mina-
ture Texas flags interlacing the
map- at Houston antl San Anton-
io, made attractive place cards and
favors. During the luncheon hour,
Master Robbie Green, son of the
hostess entertained with several
accordion numbers.
The program was under the di-
rection of Mrs. M. !,. Hays, and |
was opened with a voice solo, j
"Have You Kver Reen to Texas in
the Spring," sung by Mrs. J. R.
Webb, with Mrs. F\ L. Klliott at
the piano. Roll call was conduct-
ed by the president, Mrs. F. R.
Hubbard. The responses were
cowboy sentiments reflected from
his poems, songs and writings.
Mrs. W. L. Hill then lead the song,
Texas, Our Texas. Mrs. Merrick
Davis gave a splendid paper on
The Old Chisholm Trail. This was
followed by a cornet solo by Mas-
ter Robbie Green, accompanied by
Mrs. Klliott.
Mr. J. R. Webb,
on the program, told the story of
Shackelford county. Its organiza-
tion, its early settl
vicissitudes; their romance
which culminated in weddings,
which gave to Shackelford some |
of its finest and most revered pio- j
iie.-r families. The club felt hon-1
ored by Mr. Webb's appearance,
and hi- interesting portrayal of;
the story, and gave him a rising
vote of thanks.
The establishment and early
days of Albany was interestingly
given by Mrs. F It. Hubbard. Mrs.
Louis Shoffit, Sr., with her always
charming and gracious presenta-
tion, gave The Beginnings of the
Churches in Albany. The club
historian, Mrs. R. H. McCarty,
gave a history of Albany's Study
Clubs, beginning with the first
organized club in 1KK3.
Members and guests in attend-
ance were Miss Fronie Clausell,
Mesdames I.ottie Davis Crow, Jay
Davis, Merrick Davis, W'. K. Daw-
son, R. T Dyess, C. A. Fryar, M.
I.. Hays, W. L. Hill, L. S. Hollo-

For Women Here
Miss Mary E. Moore, of New
York City, secretary of the younff
people's department of the board
of foreign mission*, of the Pre b)r«
terian Church, U. S. A., was th*
outstanding speaker for the Pro-,
hyterial session held at the M«t-
thews Memorial Presbyterian
church here this week.
Mrs. Frank Hubbard, president
of the local organisation, extend-
ed greetings to the visiting dele-
gates ami guests, who assenfbled
here Tuesday morning and Mr«.
Fred Wolcott, of Snyder gtrt ttl
response. The morning session
was devoted principally to busi-
ness and Miss Moore's address
was the highlight of the afternoon
program.
Tuesday evening's service in-
cluded a beautiful pageant, "The
Home Coming," given by the local
young people antl leaders, with
Miss Moore delivering the main
message.
Committee reports and plans
for the coming year were chief
items for discussion at the closing
session on Wednesday morning.
A most profitable, and inspiring
convention was climaxed with a
beautiful worship service conduct-
ed by Miss Moore.

Noted Politician, Son,
Vieit Here
Arriving in Albany last Thurs-
day afternoon, Cyclone Davis,
noted political figure of the state
for more than a half century, and
his son, Arlon B. Davis, of Sul-
phur Springs, were guests in the
city over night. ,
The elder Davis established a
paper in Anson during the pio-
neering days of West Texas. His
newspaper career has equalled his
gue.-t speaku ,,nthusiasm in political circles and
he has reachetl his KOth year with-
out a thought of retirement from
i s and tin ii j (|)(i j,|.0fessj0n. Cyclone is editor
of the Good Home Sunday Cour-
ier, published at Sherman and his
son is business manager. The pa-
per was established in 1SR7 and is
said to be the third oldest publica-
tion in Texas. He is now publish-
ing a book which lie has written on
his memoirs, and it will be on sale
soon.
Arlon Davis carries some sort of
a distinction himself. He was the
youngest bank president, youngest
mayor and youngest chamber of
commerce president when he serv-
ed the city of Hamlin back in
1907.
