Study Club Thursday—
The visiting flag of the Women’s
Relief Corps was presented for
display at the last meeting of the
Vernonia Study Club, March 28,

Duncan with Mrs. Harry Sandon
hostess. After the dessert luncheon,

In answer to roll call, each club
member, gave the pronunciation,
spelling and usage of a word new
to her. Following a short business
meeting, Mrs. Sandon reported on
the modern play, “Susan and God”,
which dealt with a spoilt, flighty
matron who in her light-minded
fashion had become a follower of
a new “movement” in a religion
that had appealed to her fancy
during a stay in Europe. The de-
noument of the play leaves the
reader with the idea that Susan
for all her shorticomings did mean
well in her blind effort to convert
her husband and other close as­
sociates.

a monologue at the next meeting
