They also displayed their poster and record books, all of which were most interest- ing. The dresses showed a great vari- ety of color, design and trimming, and all are dresses that any girl can be proud of. With a change of accessor- ies, they are adaptable for almost any occasion. Much credit is 'due Mrs. Fred Doubledee for opening her home for the girls' meetings and for super- vising their work. Mrs. Zinn then took charge of the meeting, the opening ode was sung, the Mary Stewart Collect was read in unison.
