view of 1937 Activities Upsets Tea Sipping Tradition.
review of the 1937 activity of Jocal women’s organizations disputes ie tradition of pink tea sipping
prattle and brings definitely to fore, evidence of women’s avid est in local and world current
Problems of the day were the subet of study throughout.the year such groups as the Seventh DisFederation of Clubs, the Indipolis League of Women Voters, Council of Women, American ciation of University Women hundreds of smaller organiza-
omen’s willingness to assist in ‘emergencies was demonstrated early in the year when organizations and school groups joined in the late flood relief drives. On Jan. at the instance of the Seventh District Federation of Clubs, the various groups enlisted in one drive. “Women’s Flood Relief Unit” ‘headquarters were set up at 111 N. “Pennsylvania St. and Indianapolis women assisted in the collection and
the flood zone along the Ohio.
“Big Four” Formed ha ue of Women Voters mem- . bers joined with the national organimtion early in January in a Four” legislative program. Points included (1) improvement in _ merit system of public appoint“ments; ' (2) strengthening of the food, drug and cosmetic regulatory measures; (3) a continuation of the trade agreements program; (4) neutrality legislation. In November and December the group turned to a study of municipal departments. Through three tours, the members became acquainted with city government and its opera-
One of the League’s activities this year included the presentation of a series of lectures by Clifton M. Utley, director of the Chicago Council on . International Relations. - A unanimous desire for internafional co-operation and prevention ~ of war brought together women from prominent women’s organizations at a Cause and Cure of War conference _ in Chicago on Jan. 29. Thirty dele= gates from local groups attended. Another world problem into which women delved in 1937 was that of cancer control. Dr. Frank L. Rector, American Society for Cancer Control representative, told the Indiana - Division, Women’s Field Army, in a
“*! talk here in February that 40 per
4 cent of the deaths from cancer can be prevented through public education. The campaign in support of the fight on cancer was pledged by the Indiana Federation of Clubs when the 13 district presidents met in July. In May Mrs. Edwin I. Poston, Martinsville, succeeded Mrs. Fredrick G. Balz as the state federation ent. One of the campaigns launched during the new administration was “Education for Safety”

Old Favorin Social Sets
Proper Food Is Necessary Part of Afternoon Home Gatherings.
By MRS. GAYNOR MADDOX Afternoon tea has come back as a
standard American social function.
At many of the smartest afternoon Sola therings now, neither cock highballs make their apBle Tea takes the honors. So if you like the idea of gathering a few friends’ around a steaming cup and something delicate to eat, go to it. You have the blessings of the leading social arbiters of this coun-:
try. For informal teas you can invite your friends by phone or by note. About 4 or 4:30 o'clock is. the accepted tea hour, but that can be changed for the convenience of
guests. For larger formal teas, the invitation is a visiting card with the date | re of the tea and the time written in the lower corner opposite the address. For example, on one line, “November 8th,” and wunder that, “Tea at 4 o'clock.” If the tea is in boner of someone, “To meet Mr. or So-and-So0” is written across oe top. of the card. -
Friend of Hostess Pours
At teas of this type the hostess invites one of her. closest friends to “pour.” Wearing a tea gown and hat, ne will sit at one end of a large table with the tea service directly in front of her, and the cups, saucers, spoons, and napkins to one side. e hostess, dressed in a long, semi-formal gown, stands near the door where it is convenient for her to greet guests and introduce them to others. If she feels that the number of her guests may prove unweil-

to “stand” with her. They, like the “pourer,” wear hats and tea gowns. At a large tea here in America, much more is expected of the hostess in the way of food than at a small one. She should have at least one hot dish, such as gingerbread, or scones — and sandwiches, cakes and candies. These are attractively laid out on the table with plates and forks. It is a good idea fo have chairs along the wall close to tables so that guests who wish can sit there or take their tea and side plate to another part of the room.
Items for Large Tea
Among the foods considered with special favor for large teas -are: cinnamon toast, hot buttered crumpets, cucumber, lettuce, or olive sandwiches, slices of layer cake, assorted cookies, mints and assorted nuts. The hostess is not limit, to these suggestions but may choose, as her fancy dictates, from a large field. In most cases she will decide on one or two hot dishes, one or two kinds of sandwiches, plus the cakes and other “accessories.” The large table must be her special care. It might be covered with a large lace cloth, or its highly polished surface left uncovered. Also, there should be an attractive center-piece of flowers and candles—the arrangement left to the good taste of the hostess.

OF SERVICE
By WM. E. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of
Advatece
ESSONS for the first six months of 1938 are all token from the Gospel
t of Mark. The first lesson, which
is somewhat in the nature of an in-
troduction, is taken from about the middle of the book; then we return to the first chapter to go through the bock from lesson to lesson. The general title of these lessons is “The Gospel of Service,” and this introductory lesson lias to do with the spirit of the Christian disciple,
and with the nature and privilege of service following ihe example of Jesus Himself, Primary in all moral life and especially in Christian living is the matter of motive. There are many ruling motives in life. There is the motive of gain, or of self-interest, which may be very .ow and sordid, or Wich may be more refined and
tened. There is the motive of the love of place or of fame; there is the motive of the love of power; and there are many other motives which consciously, or subconsciously, rhay influence men in their thoughts and actions. @ ®- 2 N our lesson, by way of contrast with the Christian motive and to bring cut strongly the reality of Christian service, we have two sons of an ambitious mother, who request that the positions of honor and preferment, when Jesus comes in His kingdom, may be given to them. They have not realized the spiritual mission of Jesus; and thinking chiefly of a kingdom: which they assume Jesus is going to establish as the Messiah, their request is that one should sit on His right hand and the other on His leit hand when He assumes the throne, Jesus reminds them that they do not know what they ask. He inquires whether they are willing to drink of the cup that He drinks, and be baptized with the baptism that He is baptized with, apparently having in mind the persecution and ultimately the crucifixion that await Him. But James and John, the so-called Sons of Thunder, are insistent. They declare that they are able and willing to assume all the rigors of the kingdom. Jesus accepts their declaration of ability and loyalty; but He assures them that the places that they ask are not His to give. : sa 8 ATURALLY, the 10 other disciples, when they heard of this effort of James and John to secure the foremost placs, were very indignant. And it is to this indignant

clares the law of His kingdom. It is a kingdom of love and righteousness very different from the kingdoms of the world. In the kingioms of the world, those who lord it over others are called great
ones; but there is a different stand. °
ard :n the kingdom of Christ. There, greatness is measured by the extent to which one has given his life to the rule of love, and become a mine istering servant to his fellowmen. “V7hosoever will be first among you,’ says Jesus, “shall be the serve ant of all.” This plain and simple teaching Jesus enforces concerning His own life. He is not asking other men to assume a way of life and duty that He Himself has not underiaken. Rather, He sets His own life and purpose as the example. “For the Son of man also came not to be minstered unto, but to ‘a ister, and to give His life & rane 5 © for many. ”
