The club then enjoyed a fine address by Rev. Father John Kelly, associate pastor of St. John's church. The remarks of Father' Kelly was based cn the subject, ''Who Shall Find a Valiant Woman-' The address was based on the story of woman taken from the Book of Genesis in the Holy bible, when God created woman from the rib of man. The speaker told of the earliest struggle of the women of the world, from the position of practical slavery to the present day, when they have risen in most of the world to equal rights with man ,in many cases domi nating as rulers of nations of the world. The two extremes of the life of woman were not the ideal of their creation. In the role of the slave or the ruler of a nation, they were in a sphere that was not destined for them in the beginning. The greatest and most valuable place of wo man, was in the home, her nat ural background, where she ruled through love, and care of the family and implanted in them the ideals that made for great men and women of the world. The address was given in an impressive manner that held the closest attention of the ladies. The courtesy hostesses of the meeting were Mrs. Fred Feld housen and Mrs. Glen McClure. At the close of the meeting refreshments were served by the committee composed of Mec dames Leslie Niel, W. E. Krae gcr, W. L. Heinrich, Anna Wiles, Alex Rhoden, Etta. Gorder, Mar vin. Brown and L.
