The program for the afternoon was in charge of the Home Economics Committee, Mrs. Laird, Chairman. A most unique and interesting talk was given by Miss Dorothy Quincy Wright on "The Life and Lore of the Honey Bee", with illustrations giving glimpses of the life of the mysterious bee people, their wonderful forms of government, the romance of the queen bee, showing how the honey is made, and how the bees are "tamed". The importance of honey as a substitute for sugar, its food value, and the possibilities of its uses during a sugar shortage were all emphasized.
Adjourned to February 19.
