the ladies were invited to “come
on in to supper”, The room, lighted
with kerosene lamps, was decorated
with red birds and pussy willows
in rustic baskets. On the table was
a log cabin mountain home con­
structed by Mrs. Greenman and
Mrs. Matthews.
The supper served by the Martha
Circle, consisted of corn bread,
sorgham molasses and beans. Water
was served from the old waterpail
with a leaky dipper.
Guests were all invited to “stay
all night”, but declined because of
family duties to go to their homes.
The next meeting will be March
6th when missions in Europe will
be studied.

by giving a new word, its meaning
and its use in an original sentence.

was < decided to sponsor a move­
ment for “a community center“
where clothing and household ar
tides may be stored and where
people in need of them may call
for them.
Mrs. E. M. Bollinger gave an
interesting review of the book
‘The Brandoils” by Angela Thir-
kell, a novel offering the particu
ar kind of highly sensitive amuse­
ment one can get in the now in­
frequent drawing room comedy. It
is a singularly attractive example
of an older form of entertainment
cunningly adapted to present mood.
