Book Club Notes

The Book Club met Wednes- day Mrs. Jacob Lamm with a full attendance and two guests. This being the last meeting this year the program was post poned and the time was pleas antly spent in conversation about gifts and plans for the next meeting.
 Among the new books which seem to be popular are these two: "The Wanderers" by Mary Johnson, the author of "To Have and to Hold" and other good stories, also Long Live the King" by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Mrs. Rinehart has had some splendid articles in the American Magazine lately and reading about her interesting home-life makes her books more entertaining.
 The hostess served delicious luncheon which was enjoyed and at dark the club adjourned to meet Jan. 2, with Miss Mamie Mitchell.
 Mrs. Ostroff and Miss Meyer were guests this time.

tend to help them with Il flood of
words are host. The charge has
seen the light in print that India-well-
spring of plague and sudden death

to twenty succeeding conquerors In

SO when the world war broke The
world WAS destined to be surprised on

skinned gentlemen, whose one prayer
was that the war might not be over

More than one nation was deeply
shocked by midas answer to "pruc-
tees" that had extended over years.
but there were men in India who
learned to love India long ago with
that love that casts out fear. who knew
exactly what was going to happen and
could therefore afford to wait for or
