The Dayton Home Makers’ Circle held their monthly meeting on Saturday, May 11, at the home of Mrs. Richard Schmidt. In spite of the inclement weather there were twenty seven members and a number of guests present. After the regular business meeting a musical program was given and then a very enjoyable talk from Miss Mabel Carney, of Normal, Illinois, who spoke upon Country Community Life, especially of our own state. Mrs. Schmidt served refreshments and then came the social hour after which the guests departed, all feeling a pleasant and instructive afternoon had been spent.¹

The members of the Dayton Country Club were very pleasantly entertained at the home of Mrs. E. A. Dallam, in that village, Thursday evening. Bridge whist was played and sumptuous refreshments served.²
