Club Topic
. Ashland-Mrs. Ethel Put
ney, Nob Hill street, was

a tea table centered with
early spring blossoms. Miss

Worth poured. Mrs. Alice Wil
lits conducted the business
session.
American society and its
changing aspects are analysed
in a witty but serious book
"Is Anybody Happy?" by

provoking study of leisure
and its uses are presented in
answer to the author's ques
tion.
In the book, which was re
viewed by Mrs. Thomas, other
questions deal with some un
answerable problems of mod
ern life. One wonders wheth
er "we are so eagerly chasing
enjoyment that we are miss
ing the true . meaning of
leisure."

members on a visit to Boston
and its historic environs as
she reviewed some of the ex
periences and impressions of

came to their beloved Boston
beans.
