February 24, 1928 WILM ·E TTE LIFE ·I'-__ A_t_ ·N_ .e_it_h_ho_r_s_-: The Neighbors held its annual birthday celebration on Tuesday of this week, at 1 o'clock, in the large assembly room of the Kenilworth club. Luncheon was served to 155 members and guests, with Mrs. Fred Bulley, chairman of the social committee, in charge. The meeting opened with the singing of a song written for the Neighbors, When the dessert was served, which consisted of an individual cake containing a lighted birthday candle, Mrs. C. R Erwin gave an original toast to the club. This was followed by a roll call of the former presidents of the Neighbors and five responded. They were Mrs. Vibe Spicer, Mrs. Calvin Case, Mrs. Percy Echkart, Mrs. Victor Sanborn, and Mrs. Howard Jones. Letters were received and read from Mrs. Bronson Peck and Mrs. Charles Chandler, and a telegram from Mrs.· Homer Taylor. After a short business session, the I chorus of the Neighbors, under the direction of Mr. More, sang three · delightful songs, which were followed by a dramatic recital of "The Guardsman" by Miss Mary Cattell. Miss Cattell has a charming personality and is a reader of real dramatic talent. She is very beautiful to look upon and those who had seen the recent perforntance of the play as given by the New York Theatre guild said that she imitated the characters perfectly. The room was especially pr~tty, for the lights were still festive with hangings from a recent Valentine party. The tables were arranged somewhat differ.ently from the usual placing, for this time one long table extended the full length of the hall, with the president. Mrs. J. K. Farley, Jr., at its head, and· with two long tables extending "V" shaped towards that same point. Bud vases of spring flowers decorated the tables. The next meeting will i>e an open meeting and will occur in the evening. It is called Men's night. There will be an illustrated lecture by Carveth Wells, fellow of the Royal Geographic society, on "My Six Years in the Jungles of Malay." The department of music holds the interest on next Tuesday morning at 10:15 o'clock. Notices will be sent the members giving place of meeting or information can be had by calling the chairman, Mrs. A. B. Spach, Kenilworth 429. Mrs. Edwin Bluthardt will give a paper on "Bach, Handel, and Their Forerunners." I The Lenten Season These hallowed days of Lent are all precious to the Christian world, especially the Sundays and Good Friday. They commemorate the forty days' fast made by our Saviour, his ordeal in Getb- . semene, his trial, his death on the cross, his burial and his glorious resurrection. Do we properly reverence these events by sacredly keeping this holy season? Let us answer this question by making this Quadragesima Sunday one to be remembered because of our presence at Church. Then may we increase our numbers each ·Sunday until the day that commemorates the triumph over Death, Hell and the Grave by our risen Lord. ·Let us ask ourselves if we are giving enough devotion to God for the hallowed sacrifice made by his Son on Calvary. Can we not watch and pray one, two ·or three hours per week? Our sacrifice for God's kingdom on earth is as nothing compared to ·his sacrifice for us even if we give all our time, means and . ourselves to his cause. Let us fill our churches during this penitential season. Come one, come all, into the house of the Lord. ..··......·................. ···························· Franklyn Snyder Lectures Start in Kenilworth Today The department of education of the Neighbors has arranged a course of six lectures to be given by Professor Franklyn B.
