Mr. Blanche Smail Brown, well known among Business and Professional Women's club and insurance companies of this city, was hostess to the group in her Santa Ana home. Pepatriate Speaker Will Address General Ebell Club Monday, February 7 will be the date of the next general meeting of Ebell club, and a fine program has been arranged under direction of Mrs. C. M. Wetherer program chairman, who will introduce as speaker, the internationally famous tennis champion Philip Harmon.

Marvin, one of Anaheim's most active workers in the association, a past district president and present radio chairman for the state association, was principal speaker on the morning program. Tracing the development of the association since its organization in Washington, D.C., she discussed ideals of the founders, and the manner in which they have been applied in the steady onward progress through the years. It was also Mrs. Marvin's privilege to present one of the life memberships as a happy surprise to Miss Elenora A. Parker, one of the Anaheim "Founders" and a former member of the teaching profession here. In acknowledging the signal honor paid her, Miss Parker spoke briefly on some of the early founders of the local work, including Miss E. Kate Rea and the late Mrs. Lemon.

Best-Seller Author Appears Before Ebell Book Section To Ebell Book section members came an experience seldom afforded to any but large club groups, when on Monday afternoon they were privileged to hear an author discuss his own book—one that nears the head of book lists all over the country. The author was Louis Danz, former Anaheim resident who now lives in Santa Ana, and the book was his widely discussed novel of youth, "It is Still the Morning." Preceding introduction of the speaker was a friendly social hour during which Mrs. R. W. Dickenson, Mrs. Harold G. Harling and Mrs. H. W. Saulsbery served delicious little home-made cup cakes with tea. After a gracious introduction by Mrs. C. W. Austin, section leader, Mr. Danz explained his reasons for writing his first novel as an effort to provide a refreshing contrast to the all-prevalent war theme. To do this, he explained, he refrained even from mentioning names of cities that might recall the war. Paris, the one-time Mecca of every ambitious artist, and where "Georgie," the leading character in his book eventually studies, is presented as "the city where almost everybody likes paintings." London is the "big city" and New York the "business city" for the purposes of identification. According to the author's admission, every word in the book was studied in an attempt to maintain simplicity amounting almost to the much discussed "basic English"; each character introduced was handled as a recurrent theme in a musical composition, and furthermore every effort was made to maintain the refreshing naivete of youth.

His fiancee is majoring in English at Glendale junior college. No date has yet been announced for the wedding of the young couple. But local interest in Harmon appearance is not based on his skill as a tennis player, but on the remarkable adventures in the orient, to which that skill led him. For because of his fame, the Chinese Relief committee asked him to stage exhibition matches as a benefit for the committee work, and in 1941 he left China to participate in sundries. In Hongkong, he enlisted with the British Volunteers, so has his distinction of being the first American to enter the war against Japanese. He was eventually arrested by the Japs upon charge of being a spy; was beaten in unconsciousness and finally sent to an internment camp where he was required to teach tennis Japanese officers. He was offered a fabulous suit to go to Tokyo to broadcast opinions favorable to the Japanese and his refusal to listen to advances makes it seem all too more remarkable that he would finally permitted to become one of the exchange prisoners returning to the United States on order of the Gripsholm's voyages. Such experiences, in both China and Japan, will be the chief threat of his address before Ebell meets Lending interest to his peersance is the fact that his book "Hellions of Hirohito," will soon be off the press. Ebell members will meet their monthly luncheon at 12 o'clock, after which the presidee Mrs. Paul H. Demaree will conduct a short business meeting advance of the program feature...

Barbara Ann's invitation list included Mary Cone, Barbara Simonton, Donna Lynn Stuard, Shirley Pannier, Ann Clowes, and Dorothy Jean Kuchel, but the prevalent "flu" kept one or two of the little maids from enjoying the birthday merriment.

For as the unforgettable grandfather in the book states, "When you are no longer a child, you are already dead." Answering any possible or implied criticism of the book's frankness, the author pointed out that every experience that came to "Georgie" was within the compass of any youth, and that in portraying "Sonia," the eventual fine and lasting influence in Georgies life, he purposely made her seem a little cold and remote, but "infinitely tolerant." Those in the audience familiar with the book were given new appreciation of its qualities, while those not yet fortunate enough to have read it, were inspired with a wish to do so immediately.

There were no attendant's for the young people, and guests were confined to members of the two families and a few intimate friends. After an interval of congratulations and good wishes, the newly-weds made a pretty ceremony of cutting the first slice from the big wedding cake, which Mrs. Lindley had baked and decorated for her brother and his bride. It was placed on a flower-decorated table beneath swaying wedding bells, and was served with ice and coffee. Lieut.
