SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACTIVE Phone 2206 Entertainment On Ebell Husbands' Night Promises Speaker Of Special Interest After a little holiday lull in their study and entertainment program, Anaheim Ebell members are awaiting with fresh enthusiasm the post-holiday resumption of club programs starting with the long-planned for Husbands' Night set for this coming Monday evening in the clubhouse. "It is a program that no one, with interest in our post-war plans, can afford to miss," today exclaimed Mrs. Paul H. Demaree, Ebell president, as she told of program committee plans to introduce Irving Stone as guest speaker. Selection of the noted author-lecturer was made with due attention to providing special entertainment for Ebell husbands and guests, during the program to follow a 6:30 o'clock dinner. This dinner is being planned by Mrs. Harold Harling and Mrs. William P. Hall and their committee workers, and advance reservations must be made. These are to be telephoned immediately to Mrs. H. M. Peterson, 2603. Music will enliven the dinner hour, and will feature the Triple Trio of Anaheim Union high school, under Miss Elizabeth Hunziker's direction. Mrs. Cassie Wethered as program chairman, had cooperation of Mrs. A. L. Raymond in securing the noted speaker. In presenting Irving Stone, the clubwomen chose a writer whose many books have been highly recommended by both Literary Guild and the Book League and St. Boniface Church Is Setting For Littrell-Rees Rites Upon returning from a short honeymoon following their wedding of Tuesday morning in St. Boniface church, Pfc. Lloyd Edward Littrell and his bride, the former Miss Theresa Anna Rees, will be ready to welcome friends to their pleasant quarters in Colonial Apartments, 149 North Lemon street. In selecting the wedding date, the bride chose December 28 because it is the birthday anniversary of her father, Otto J. Rees, who gave her in marriage. All the beauty of Christmas appointments in St. Boniface church, added to the interest of the 10 o'clock rites conducted by the Rev. Michael Galvin. Miss Rees was smartly attired in a soft wool suit in RAF blue with harmonizing dress accessories. She wore white orchids and carried an exquisite heirloom rosary which came to her from her maternal grandmother, the late Mrs. Anna Heinen of Random Lake, Wisc. Miss Celestine Lieb, as maid of Spirit Of Christmas By Yule Party In Home Beautiful as was the observance of Christmas in countless homes of the community, one of the most beautiful of all was when a group of thoughtful Anaheim women carried the spirit of home Christmas to patients at the TB annex at County General hospital. Many of the patients have been at the hospital for weary months—a number of them have spent several years there taking care of cure, and all have been shut off from the joyous home celebration of the holiday. Working in co-operation with Mrs. Marshall Harnois of San Ana, who conducts handcraft classes in the hospital's rehabilitation plans, the women plan to party exactly as they would a similar hospitality in the homes. Decorations were on the cheerful Christmas theme, and each ward had its individual table spread with laces and linens sparkling with scarlet candles and flowers, and arranged with handsome silver coffee services, dainting china and heavy cut glass. Presiding as hostesses were Mr. R. W. Balch, Mrs. John W. Swain, Mrs. E. J. Naffziger and Mrs. L. Hildebrand. Aid in preparing the dainties, and in outfitting each Music will enliven the dinner hour, and will feature the Triple Trio of Anaheim Union high school, under Miss Elizabeth Hunziker's direction. Mrs. Cassie Wethered as program chairman, had cooperation of Mrs. A. L. Raymond in securing the noted speaker. In presenting Irving Stone, the clubwomen chose a writer whose many books have been highly recommended by both Literary Guild and the Book League, and a research expert whose responsibilities include surveying and analyzing "proposed roads to freedom" for the Research Institute of America, among other high qualifications. "Your Life in Tomorrow's America" has been announced as Mr. Stone's subject for Monday night's address, which will embody some of his findings and conclusions in research work and study of post-war planning. He is the author of many books, including "Lust for Life," "They Also Ran," "Sailor on Horseback," "Clarence Darrow for Defense" and others, and also is on the editorial staff of the Research Institute of America. This outstanding Husbands' Night program will usher in a succession of January Ebell events to continue each succeeding Monday of the month, all to be open to all club members. Study sections are opening their programs with a friendly tea hour at 1:30 o'clock, followed by entertainment features. On Jan. 10, Home and Garden section under leadership of Mrs. Charles T. Friend, will present Edgar Harrison Wileman in a talk on "Wartime Trends in Home Furnishings." On the 17th, Mrs. A. P. M. Brown's Bible section will hear the Rev. Thomas L. Burden of White Temple Methodist church on "The Place of the Bible in the World Today." On the 24th, Book section under leadership of Mrs. C. W. Austin, will hear a review of some of the non-fiction best sellers given by Mrs. Bertha D. McCracken of Santa Ana. Friends Included In Happy Family Gathering Various friends were privileged to join the family circle in a happy observance of Christmas Day in the John W. Swain home, Miss Rees was smartly attired in a soft wool suit in RAF blue with harmonizing dress accessories. She wore white orchids and carried an exquisite heirloom rosary which came to her from her maternal grandmother, the late Mrs. Anna Heinen of Random Lake, Wisc. Miss Celestine Lieb, as maid of honor, also chose a soft wool suit in olive green with which she wore Mystery gardenias. Frank Bogad, a comrade of the bridegroom's at SAAAB, served as best man. Bridal music was provided by Mrs. Clara Faust, church organist. Following the exchange of wedding vows in the presence of a half hundred or more friends, the newly wedded pair were complimented at a reception given by Mr. and Mrs. Otto Rees in their home, 204 South Helena street. Only closest friends and members of the family circle were present. Mr. Littrell's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Littrell of Mexico, Mo., were unable to be here for the wedding. While the Rees home was gay with yuletide decorations, a more bridal effect was given the refreshment table where the three-tiered wedding cake was served. The flower centerpiece was composed of sweet peas, larkspur and gladiolus sprays. The new Mrs. Littrell graduated from Anaheim Union high school and had two yearss of pre-nursing training at Fullerton J. C. However she did not continue nurse's training, choosing instead to do defense work at Douglas, a post to which she plans to return after the honeymoon when her soldier husband resumes training at the Air Base. He had his schooling in his native Missouri. Friendly Hospitality Is Shared By St. Agnes Guild Anticipations of a happy holiday affair were fully realized Monday night by members of St. Elizabeth's Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church. For they found a friendly hospitality awaiting them in the Clowes home at 555 South Indiana street, where Mrs. Hannah Clowes and Mrs. Marguerite Olding joined as hostesses. Decorations were on the cheekful Christmas theme, and each ward had its individual tables spread with lace and linen sparkling with scarlet candles and flowers, and arranged with hand some silver coffee services, daisies china and heavy cut glass. Presiding as hostesses were Mrs. R. W. Balch, Mrs. John W. Swain, Mrs. E. J. Naffziger and Mrs. L. Hildebrand. Aid in preparing the dainties, and in outfitting each charmingly appointed table was given by various other friends interested in the plans. The party was left in the hands of the Anaheim group because women from this city have long carried out a plan of weekly visits to the hospital with crisp homemade cookies and other dainties. This friendly idea originated with Mrs. George Griffith, who was unable to be present at the recent Christmas party, but who aid in every way. She and Mrs. L. M. Smith, no longer Santa Ana, and various other kindly women have continued to weekly visits over a long period of time. They had friendly operation from women of both First Presbyterian and St. Boniface Catholic church groups. Ms. Oscar W. Heying of St. Boniface still has her church women so well organized that they are always ready with the home-made dainties to be taken to the annexe. Sugar rationing has made... Friends Included In Happy Family Gathering Various friends were privileged to join the family circle in a happy observance of Christmas Day in the John W. Swain home, 919 East Center street. The home was radiant with cheerfulness, with a sparkling tree in honor of the first Christmas of small John William Swain III. The baby's birth to Mr. and Mrs. John W. Swain, Jr., on March 28 of this year, came on the birthday anniversary of his proud grandfather whose name he bears. In harmony with the prevailing Yuletide decorations was the attractively arranged table where turkey dinner was served at 7 o'clock. Ribbon-tied holly and mistletoe centered with red candles, made an effective centerpiece, a thoughtful Christmas gift to Mrs. Swain from Mrs. George C. Griffith. Places were indicated for the hosts and members of their immediate family, Dwight Swain of the home, Mr. and Mrs. John W. Swain, Jr., and their baby son of this city, and Miss Berneice Swain, home for the holiday from her duties as confidential secretary at the Baranger Studios, Pasadena. Miss Swain was accompanied by two Pasadena friends, the Misses Ruth Fix and Orlene Frye, and other guests were Fredie Lee Hayes of this city and Mrs. Edward Thomasson of Long Beach. Lieut. Thomasson had expected to be present but his duties with the ferrying command called him to a mission at an unidentified point. Anticipations of a happy holiday affair were fully realized Monday night by members of St. Elizabeth's Guild of St. Michael's Episcopal church. For they found a friendly hospitality awaiting them in the Clowes home at 555 South Indiana street, where Mrs. Hannah Clowes and Mrs. Marguerite Olding joined as hostesses. There were holiday greens and candles everywhere, with the mantle banked with holly sprays, and a refreshment table centered with a big bowl of holly around, which small Christmas figures gleamed in the radiance of scarlet candles. After a short business interval conducted by Miss Adah Louise Wilcox, Guild directress, members were addressed by their rector, the Rev. D. Howard Dow, in remarks appropriate to the season. Plans were made for the observance of St. Agnes Day, which falls on January 21, by a corporate communion to be held for Guild members on Sunday, January 23 at 8 a.m. in St. Michael's church. Afterwards the group will adjourn to the home of Miss Wilcox, 613 South Dickel street, for breakfast. After these plans were made, the guests enjoyed refreshments by candlelight before turning their attention to bridge. Mrs. Lois Warwick, a guest of the evening, made high score and was suitably rewarded. Second and third prizes were presented Mrs. Marjorie Frey and Miss Lillian Knutson. For their next regular meeting, Guild members will be entertained Monday night, Jan. 24, in the Theodore B. Kuchel home, 547 South Lemon street.
