Atlanta Woman's
Club Meets
Mrs. Will Howe was hostess to
the Atlanta Woman's Club Thurs-
day afternoon, April 3, at her home
on West Main street. Spring flow-
ers in effective arrangements were
used throughout reception rooms.
During the business hour, Mrs.
Wade Aday, a former member, was
welcomed as a new member.
Mrs. Hughes again reminded the
club of the Third District Conven-
tion in Longview on April 21-22-23,
and urged as many as could to at-
tend.
After dispensing with all current
business, the program was given
over to Mrs. B. R. McLendon, who
reviewed, "For Whom the Bell
Tolls," by Ernest Hemingway.
"The book was dedicated to Mar-
tha Gulhorn before his second wife
divorced him," Mrs. MrLendon said
Paramount bought the book for the
fabulous sum of $150,000. They will
use only one hundred pages of the
book which will make each page
cost ?1,500.00.
People who have never read be-
fore have read this book because
of its sensationalism and its shock-
ing points. The writer who nearest
approaches Hemingway in this
style of book is Steinbeck with "Of
M.ice and Men" and "Grapes of
Wrath."
There is nothing adolescent about
the book, nor is it for the adoles-
cent mind. You must put aside pre-
judices and nicities if you are to
understand it. It was written in the
rough and tough days of the Span-
ish War. Hemingway wrote "Fare-
well to Arms" under the same con-
ditions only it was about the World
War. No one writes of war like
Ernest Hemingway.
"For Whom the Bell Tolls," is a
story of filth, horror, stupidity, and
futility but one of indestructible
beauty made up of all the ideals
that men die for in wars. Heming-
way's real concern in this story is
with the soul of a man when that
man faces death. He also brings us
the futility of an unprepared war.
At the conclusion, a lovely tea
hour was enjoyed with Mrs. Lee
Warren presiding at the table. The
refreshments and dining room fea-
tured tne Easter theme.

Book Review Tea To
Be Given April 16
"Benjamin Blake," by Edison
Marshall, a novel of adventure in
England and the South Seas in the
eighteenth century and a romance
of great charm, beauty and depth
will be reviewed by Mrs. Homer
Meisenheimer, of Jefferson, on
Wednesday, April 16, in the educa-
tional building of the Methodist
church.
The review is being sponsored by
the Easterling Circle of the Wo-
mans' Society of Christian Service
of which Mrs. Noland Varley is the
chairman.
Mrs. Meisenheimer, who is dis-
trict secretary of the womens work
in the Methodist church, is a most
capable reviewer and those who
heard her give "Seasoned Timber"
recently recommend her as an en-
tertainer of highest merit.
This book is the Literary Guild's
choice for March, 1941, and is writ-
ten in a colorful style which
charms the reader away from de-
pressing cares of this day and
transports him to Old England, to
the high seas in sailing vessels, to
tropical islands, and even to prison
and out again—in recounting the
tempestuous life of young Ben
Blake, a much wronged nobleman
whom women loved and men feared
and respected.
Tea will be served by members
of Easterling Circle. Admission 25c
to all. The public is cordially invit-
ed to attend. Tickets may be pur-
chased from members of the circle.
Baptist Circle No. 1
Met Monday, April 7 in the home
of Mrs. D. R. Callicoatte with eight
members and one visitor present.
After singing, "My Faith Looks Up
to Thee," Mrs. Jack Robinson led
opening prayer. Mrs. Fred Cameron
chose for the devotional the last
part of 42nd chapter of Genesis,
using as her subject "Faith," fol-
lowed with prayer that we may
have the right kind of faith by
Mrs. R. P. Cameron.
A card was read from Mr. D. R
Callicoatte, expressing his appre-
ciation and gratitude for the flow-
ers and fruit sent him during his
illness.
The personal service was plan-
ned for the month. A free will of-
fering was taken.
The Royal Service program was
given out for next Monday, April
14, when we meet with Mrs. G. H
Parker. The time of meeting has
been changed to 3 o'clock. The Bi-
ble study was in charge of Mrs. R
P. Cameron who in an interesting
manner brought the lesson from
the book of Leviticus.
Mrs. G. H. Parker gave the bene-
diction.

stration club met April 3, in the

ping. There are two types of fea-

Methodist W. S. C. S.
Hold Meeting
Mrs. Frank Dent, together with
other members of the Woman's So-
ciety of Christian Service, Monday
I presented a most outstanding be-
ginning to the month's study of the
book "Dangerous Opportunity."
The book is one dealing with China
as it is today with all of its various
.problems. Mrs. Dent will present
the book during the successive meet
' ings of the society for the month
of April.
Monday's meeting was held in
the memorial building. The mem-
bers on program were dressed in
authenic Chinese costumes, and the
room was expressively decorated
with many different articles from
China, together with screens and
maps. Posters depicting China's
condition were also used.
Mrs. E .C. Blandford opened the
program by singing a Chinese lul-
laby, after which the uniform pray
er was lead by the president, Mrs.
C. C. Holloway. Following the
prayer, Mrs. Frank Dent gave a
devotional using as her theme a
thought from the book "Dangerous
Opportunity." She introduced Mrs.
Joe McClung, who gave a thorough
and very interesting travelogue on
China. Mrs. McClung presented a
clear picture of China proper and
provinces immediately surrounding
China. Following Mrs. McClung,
Mrs. Nath Hanner told of Chinese
habits, beliefs and customs. She
included the use of posters and pic-
tures which added to the signifi-
cance of her talk.
To conclude the program, Mrs.
Dent previewed briefly, but point-
edly the first chapter of "Danger-
ous Opportunity," laying emphasis
on the fact which the author im-
presses on us that China is truly
a land of "dangerous opportunity"
for those interested enough in her
to investigate and put forth effort
in behalf of the Chinese people.
At the close of the program tea
and wafers was served to the large
group in attendance.

Lovers of Nature
In Bloom
As a service to lovers of Nature
and in response to many inquiries
from interested parties, the District

routes to take in order to see the
dogwood, redbud, wisteria, etc., in
their natural beauty.
Since the redbud blooming period
is about half over, with dogwood i
and wisteria only beginning, sever- '
al drives are suggested for redbud
and dogwood. From Texarkana on

wood trails open on April 11th and
continue through April 13th. These
trails are being sponsored by the

roads have been conditioned for the
drive that begins at Jefierson and
covers a large part of Marion coun
