■ Toe Dweller in Bohemia, a minor | chord; The Madonna of the TamI bourlne, u mistress of art; The | Knighthood of Tony, Swing Low | Sweet Chariot, and In Reflected Glory. "These were fascinating bits ; of action reflecting the clmructerisI tics of the writer; the same vivid | imagination, the quick tninsitionl ; from pathos to humor, the whole‘some sentiment, the purity of| i thought, the delicacy of touch, the spontaneous wit which endeared h'T to friends utid thousands of renders all over the world. J "The writers mission was largeI ly one of coni fort to the suffering and the sorrowing. Letters of good cheer went everywhere, thus pouring gladness Into many a wounded spirit.” A short business session followed ' , and delicious refreshments were , served by Mrs. Miller, assisted by Mrs. Homer Lower and Mrs. Gerald Smith. Sally Smith entertained with a reading. Next week the club will meet with Mrs. Ben DeVor j and Mrs. John Sch'tg will be the . program leader, her topic being. “Educational Qualifications for Wo- [ men.” ' CELEBRATES 53RD.

Mrs. James Kocher reviewed . the travel book, "Peaks of Shalo", ' ay Rose Wilber Lane. "The book is i a vivid description of the author’s travels through the very mountainous country of northern Albania. The author, with four companions and their retainers, rode ponies over trails that seemed insurpas-, . able. There they met people of the different tribes that lived in that 1 section of the country. Miss Lane 1 and her group stayed in the pri- - mltive houses of the natives and ate ’ their native foods. This small conn--1 try is surrounded on all aides by ’ enemies; Italy especially seems to - desire this country for herself. • With enemies surrounding her and ■ the native tribes always at war a- ’ mong themselves it is surely a. ’ country with a stormy future.” i Seventeen members answered ! - the roll call with current events. The meeting next Wednesday will ’ be at the home of Mrs. S. D. Beav-' ’ era. with Mrs. Carrol Burkholder 5 leader for the afternoon.

sonal appearance with Bob Hope in New York, and several other appearances throughout the country. Betty Grable is said to earn S6OO a week at Paramount. She starts another picture, “Campus Dormitory," next month. Donald Barrie was the victim of Hollywood’s latest fiareup of tempers and flying fists. He went down for the count in a melee at a Sunset boulevard late spot. Talked with Bette Davis about the Gilbert Roland and George Brent rumors. She just laughed. Bette recently gave a party for her family and stayed up until 8 a. m. “Not in a night club, though,” she said. "I served my apprenticeship in night clubs when Ham was an orchestra leader. Used to sit around for hou>s waiting for him to get through." With her usual directness, Bette declarvd she doesn't intend to be a hermit and will have dates when she gets around to it. “So far,” she added, “I haven't felt much like going out.” Press notices seldom nettle Bette. One, however, seems to have gotten under her skin: a magazine article recalling that she once declared friendly divorces to be impossible—and concluding that she must feel pretty silly now. “Why should I feel silly?" she asked. “You say lots of things when you are young—and mean them at the time. Then, when you grow older and wiser, you change your mind. In a thing like this. I don’t see why an actress should be expected to be different from anybody else.” Wonder what was Tommy Manville’s idea? When Marcelle EdMrs. William Kohls, secretary-trea-surer.

Ruth Thomas Pretty Ruth Thomas, sophorrtore at Louisiana State university, has been selected by Gov. Richard W. Leche to represent Louisiana as a Grand Duchess at the Galveston, Tex., Mardi Gras, Feb. 17.

waids and her new husband wert I at the Earl Carroll restaurant the other night, Tommy tried several i times to talk to her on long distance from the east. She refused to go to the phone. The Vivien Leigh boom for the role of Scarlett O'Hara caught Hollywood just about as ignorant as the fans about the British ' beauty. Miss Leigh — it's pronounced Lee — didn't have the slightest idea of trying out for Scarlett when she came to Holly- t wood. She was more interested in seeing Laurence Olivier, who had been imported by Samuel Goldwyn for “Wutherlng Heights." If you saw Bob Taylor’s "Yank at Oxford," however, you'll remember Vivien. She was the bookseller's wife who flirted with the col- ; lege boys. Seems to your observer that the 1 New York film critics are suffering from a slight case of Anglo-mania One can't quarrel too much with their choice of 'The Citadel” as the best picture of 1938, but when three out of the six runners-up also are British-made films, this seems to be spreading it on a little too thickly. A tip to New York editors: : When Joan Blondell and Dick Powell go to New York, get a picture of Joan and her good friend, Mrs. Esther Wright. About 10 years ago, when vaudeville and stage assignments were scarce, Joan went to work in a little book shop owned by Mrs. Wright. It tided the future star over a tough period in her life and she never goes to New York without looking up her benefactress. At latest count, Errol Flynn had received 412 fistic challenges in his fan mail since that bout with Aidan Roark. . . . Montagu Love is back at Warners and asks us to say that he feels all right again. . . . Hedy Lamarr at the Beverly Brown Derby with a new squire. Agent Anderson Lawler. . , . It's an eight-pound daughter for the Bob Husseys, who'll call the baby Judy Linda. Papa is radio contact man for Paramount. . . . Patsy Kelly is back in town and has taken up where she left off with Tommy Riley, piano player at Slapsy Maxie’s. . . . Wendy Barrie and Richard Greene a twosome. Robert Taylor's stables will concentrate on Arabians in the future. First week's receipts were good news for Earl Carroll. He grossed nearly $60,000. will be held at the home of Mrs. Earl Fuhrman on Bellmont Road. ■ Frank Lynch will be the assisting hostess. Members are asked to bring their coin cards to this meeting.
