Rings Down
Curtain

A SH Wednesday is ringing the
AZ curtain down upon a sea-
4 n son of hectic gayety. 1t re-
mains to be seen what the next
three weeks will bring forth, but
indications are that there will be
a slight slackening of the social
pace, and that time will be found
for religious. observances and for
the lectures and music which are
regarded as typical Lenten amuse-
ments.
Mrs. Selden p. Spencer's IA
NOUS Bible class will, however,
be missing from the Lenten cal
endar, and this is a matter for
widespread regret.
The growth of this class was
really an amazing thing. Several
years ago little group of women.
Senators wives most of them, per-
suaded Mrs. Spencer, who is the
daughter e an eminent divine and
MAS alwa = been a keen student of
the Bible. To start a little class
which was to convene weekly dur
ing Lent. At first the meetings
were held in Mrs. Stephen B.
Elki2s' drawing room. Within
year or two, however. the class
outgreW this and moved over to
the Washington Club. That, in
turn, was outgrown; and for the
last two or three years Mrs.
Spencer has assembled her stu
dents in the Willard-and has
filled the long ballroom every
Thursday morning.
This year, however. Mrs. Spen-
Ger is not well. and her physician
has put his foot down. No more
work to be undertaken, and spe-
officially nothing which makes such
demands upon her strength as ad-
dressing between 500 and 500
women and all the study demanded
in making ready for her classes.
She is already making plans for
next year, however, and expects
then to start out with renewed
vigor and to make her Bible class
bigger and better in every way.
