SOCIETY WOMEN'S ACTIVE Phone 2206 Quantities of Lovely Gifts Are Showered Upon Honor, Guest at Buffet Luncheon Recent announcement of the betrothal and of March wedding plans of Miss Grace Simon and Aviation Cadet Lester M. Grainger met with friendly interest which is taking the form of delightful pre-nuptial parties in compliment to the prospective bride. Leading the way with these gay affairs was Mrs. Robert B. Wurgaft who on Saturday afternoon entertained at a buffet luncheon and gift shower in her home, 319 North Palm street. Mrs. Wurgaft was joined in receiving guests by her honoree, Miss Simon, and by the mothers of the afflianced couple, Mrs. Charles M. Simon and Mrs. E. R. Grainger of Fullerton. Assisting in hostess duties were Miss Joy Wurgaft, daughter of the home, and the Misses Marylyn Hartlet and Violet Gust. Lending aid at the luncheon hour were the two mothers, Mrs. Simon pouring tea, and Mrs. Grainger seated at the coffee service, at the charmingly appointed table in the dining room, from which the junior hostesses served the dainties of the luncheon menu. Everyone admired the arrangement of the table, centered with a large pink and white heart, the artistic workmanship of Miss Joy Wurgaft, and which held within its rosy curves, a small aviation bridegroom and his equally tiny bride. Flower appointments were all keyed to the same pink and white color scheme, with great sprays of peach blossoms providing an effect for use and beauty in her future home.

Ebell Section Has Excellent Talk On Drama In Bible "Drama, which is everywhere in life for those who have eyes with which to see it, is evident throughout the Bible, especially in the Old Testament," Rev.

Everyone admired the arrangement of the table, centered with a large pink and white heart, the artistic workmanship of Miss Joy Wurgaft, and which held within its rosy curves, a small aviation bridegroom and his equally tiny bride. Flower appointments were all keyed to the same pink and white color scheme, with great sprays of peach blossoms providing an effective floral arrangement throughout the home. Amidst the wealth of bloom were placed small tables in both living room and rumpus room, where guests repaired with their well-filled plates, to enjoy the menu. Mrs. Wurgaft had planned for bridge play and various appropriate games and contests, but everybody was having such a good time chatting and enjoying with Miss Simon the array of shower presents, that the afternoon sped by on wings, with no other amusement needed. Gift packages, gay with tissues and bright ribbons, were heaped upon a table in the living room. Miss Simon was given place of honor in the midst of her friends, to open each package in turn and admire the charming gifts chosen for use and beauty in her future home. Friends unable to be present to enjoy Mrs. Wurgaft's hospitality showed their interest by sending pretty gifts. The guest list was an extensive one, including friends from various Southland cities with those of Anaheim and Fullerton, in addition to the honoree; the three young party aides and the two mothers. From this city were Mrs. E. R. Fuller, Mrs. B. Fenton Chaplin, Mrs. Joseph B., Miranda, Mrs. J. Spire and daughter Martha.

Lake's Men's Wear It was the monthly meeting of the club's Bible section under leadership of Mrs. A.P.Brown, and the Rev.Mr.Dorrellor of St.Michael's Episcopal church, was programmed to talk on "Drama in the Bible." His production followed a tea house made doubly enjoyable by contrast with the downfall of rains and the refreshments served daintily by Mrs.Charles Frantz, Miss E.Kate Rea and Mrs.E.H.Kersten. Before turning to the more serious points of his talk, the Rev.Mr.Dow humorously disclaims the reputation accorded him by the press of being a "Shakespearean scholar and former Shakespearean actor." However own admittance that he had acted many such roles especially in his university days, and familiarity with the Bard Avon as shown by his talks formed excellent basis for subsequent statements. In discussing the drama to be found in the Bible, especially the Book of Job, the story of Moses, of Esther, of Good Samaritan among others, he spoke of the crying need of the American stage, for a revival of interest in drama of this type. "Through such dramatization we could more easily teach faith and religion of our Lord he declared. It would also foster study of the Bible he pointed out, saying that while the Bible is the foundation of religion has been put aside through the country's separation of church and state, until we are deterring into a pagan nation. In his talk, Mr. Down touched upon the dramas of early Greek revival of drama by church, its subsequent secularization, the medieval miracle play of "Moralities," the Oliver Cromwell era when priceless Shakpearean plays and folios were burned, and other historical well as Biblical phases of subject. Before closing he spoke of the demand by play publishers such as Samuel French, Walter Baker etc., for full length plays and acts on Biblical themes. As a prelude to the talk of the afternoon, Eleanor Young Elliott of The Gazette, read the touching story of Dorcas, titled "The Good Neighbor." Wedding to Occur At Early Date Lake's Men's Wear 225 W.
