afternoon was by our own Ida Kruse
MarFarlane who comes so graciously
every year and gives us the great
lessons to be learned from the years
fiction. In her Introductory remarks
Mrs. MacFarlane spoke of the lessons
she had learned from hearing our
yearly reports. and which she in turn
has taught her classes Z; that to express
appreciation for work done draws
closer the tics of friendship: that ii
develops the enthusiasm and often
brings out in one better self-eNpscs-
sioa.
In speaking of the fiction of the
year Mrs. MacFarlane said 1t was I'M
portant according to the application
we could make of it in our lives. The
greatest book of the past year was
Hutchinson's IF Winter Comes" The
lesson taught us in it is that life
never puts upon us more than we can
endure Mark Sabre. the principal
character had the wonderful gift OF
always being able TO see the others
point of view. His wife was beauti-
ful and well groomed but not very
brilliant. just the opposite to him. and
so in judging them we find that while
we do not neglect the external we
must not neglect the internal. We
must look beneath the surface to judge
character. If we do not strive TO
grow more acceptable as we go on in
years we will grow less acceptable.
The second book of Importance was
THE Brimming Cup" by Dorothy
Garfield Fisher. The lesson taught
is, What are we to do when we
don't know what to do We must
test these situations to see if they
will endure.
Mrs. MacFarlane spoke on The
Worlds Illusion" translated from the
German. of a groupe of young Eng
lish Novelists. and especially OF the
works of the Dutchmaa, Louis Coup
crus. who thruout his books teaches
one to prepare for II vigorous, healthy,
active old age. Many of his heroes
are seventy, eighty or older.
Mrs. MacFarlane closed her talk by
telling us of two of the latest plays
produced in New York. He, the One
Who Gets Slapped and THE Hairy
Ape" The meeting closed with ii so.
