Missionary Group Holds Jan. Meeting LET’S BE SOCIABLE Annual ¡Christmas Party, Birthday Dinner Are Enjoyed by Study Club The Vernonia Study club’s an nual Christmas party was held at the heme of Mrs. A. J. Hughes this year during the latter part of December. The hostess had set up and decorated a lovely tree, under which stacks of artistic ally decorated packages were placed. As part of the program for the evening, which was in charge of Mrs. W. O. Workman, record ings of Christmas carols were en joyed by all. Mrs. Workman al so read selected poems from her scrap book, some in serious vein, others light and h. morous. Those excerpts which she read from “The Prophet” by Kahlil Gibran seemed especially to strike a responsive chord. Mrs. Holly Holcomb, Jr. ds- played souvenirs sent to her by her husband from Tokyo, among which were complete outfits for herself and small daughter, and ten yards of beautifully em broidered white silk material. After gifts were opened, the hostess terved delicious refresh ments. Mrs. Judd Greenman was host ess to the Study club’s annual birthday dinner, on Thursday evening, January 3rd. She was assisted by Mrs. Holly Holcomb, Jr. After the members had en joyed a most palatable dinner, Mrs. R. B. Fletcher, chairman of the program comm ttee, led them in a hila ious hunt for well- hidden gifts from their re pective “secret” birthday friends. On this annual occasion th? names of “secret” pals are divulged after much guessing and specula tion. At the short business session roll call was answered by reading • ' ‘ t’ * T short humorous squibs, mostly from the pen of Ogden Nash. At this time also, by a clever de vice, names were drawn for new birthday friends for the ensuing year. All members present expressed having spent a most delightful evening and took reluctant leave. The next meeting of the club will be held at the home of Mrs. Wm. Heath, on January 17th, with Mrs. Ben Brickel in charge of the program for the evening.
