Club Closes Year's Work
The Cary club held the closing meeting of the club year Monday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eliza Mentzer. A Kensington was enjoyed in the afternoon by the ladies and at six o'clock the husbands and families arrived to enjoy the delicious two course dinner served. 
In the later evening a program was given as follows:
Reading, Mrs. W.S. Winter.
Vocal Solo, Mrs. Edgar Pyle.
Reading, Mrs. A.E. Blinks
Vocal Solo, Mrs. J.T. Christie.
Vocal Solo, J.B. Finney
Every number was so much enjoyed that each one had to respond to an encore.
A notable feature of this gathering was the presence of only remaining charter member of the club, Mrs. W. S. Rathbun and her family. The new program committee had completed their plans for the coming year and the programs were given out. A very pleasant and profitable year has been spent by the club and this pleasant event was a fitting close. The club was very grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Mentzer for their hospitality.

Finney, with Mrs. Finney at the Piano
