THE TWIN CITY BIBLE STUDY
AND CIVIC CLUB NOTES

By Miss Estelynne Wagner
The Twin City Women's Civic
and Bible Study Club met Wednes-
day, April 7, at the home of Mrs.
Albertine Combs, 565 st. Anthony
avenue.
Singing of the club song opened
the meeting and the Lords Prayer,
which was led by member, fol-
lowed. The usual routine of the
club then followed.
During the business period a re-
port was read by fellow member.
This report was on the financial
status of the club, including all
past balances and expenditures to
date. A public acknowledgment
will be made later. The date for
the Tie and Apron social has been
extended.
Members of our group are sorry
to relate the death of one of the
frequently visited patients at
Ancker hospital, Mr.. Charles Green
of Kansas City, Kansas.
The same subject was continued
during Bible study. Each member
gave his personal views.
After the study period, Mrs. AL
bertine Combs and Mrs. Frank tt
tus served a very lovely luncheon
at which we discussed the rear
rangements of the club which shall
be followed in the future. Names
of new members have been put
before the group, and those &C
cepted will be announced later.
Adjournment of the meeting fol-
lowed until Wednesday, April IA,
at BIT North st. Adams, Misses
Estelynne and Francys Wagner act
ing hostesses.
All club correspondence should
be mailed to the secretary, Mrs. M.
J. Williams, 318 North Avon street.
Members of the club humorously
hope that too many of our race
people do not develop too acute an
attack of spring fever.

About those interesting remarks
on marriage. Did you know that
400 of you bachelors are likely to
die before 65 years of age, whereas
21% of you maidens are more like
ly to die before that age. Statistics
show that if you want to be
healthy, mentally and physically, if
you want to live to a ripe old age,
get married, and stay married.
Without marriage, to use the words
of Westermarck, world famous au-
thor1ty on marriage, there would
presumably be still more suffering
in the world and much less happi-
ness. So you see, marriage has it's
good points as we'll as bad. So
much for marriage. Well, here's
hoping I'll be amongst the number
to hear Fletcher Henderson on
Monday night.

Informative Letter
Only recently there arrived in
New York a letter which affords
an interesting "behind-the-scene"
view Of the light-hearted and JOY
GUS life led at the Chateau de
Cande, in France, by the former
Baltimore belle and the man who
gave up the most important
throne left on earth to marry
''the woman I love-"
The highly informative letter,
penned by one who has long
known the Duchess of Windsor
and who enjoys her confidence,
gives the highly exciting Tip"
that the Windsors may have
secretly purchased the Chateau
de Candle from Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles BedeauX, who live in New
York city when not in France.
And it settles the question of
how the Windsors will spend the
summer.

And the idea that they may now

is, indeed, thrilling.
AS I have so frequently written
since that memorable day, last De
