The Wednesday After
noon Book Club member
ship met at New Perry
Hotel, Dec. 15, for a Christ
mas luncheon. Hostesses
were Ruth Saxon and Mar
garet Talton.
Spode Christmas Tree
place cards, straw orna
ments and camellias of
member Eloise Gallemore
adorned the table.
The program was pre
sented by Jeanne Bledsoe.
She read two old familiar
Christmas favorites. The
first was Peter Marshall's
“Let's Keep Cliristmas.” She
used Us wife’s introduction
which told the experience
that prompted his writing
of this piece.
This Christmas classic
stresses the spiritual
meaning of Christmas,
encourages the continua
tion of ancient Christmas
traditions, and promotes
the right attitude toward
this sacred event.
Although written almost
50 years ago, the descrip
tion of the world situation
at that time parallels that of
the present day. The world
still seeks “Peace on earth;
good will toward men."
The second selection was
O. Henry’s famous short
story, “The Gift of the
Magi." In this story, a
young man and his wife
each sacrifices a most trea
sured possession to-buy a
Christmas gift for the other.
It has an unexpected but
heart-warming ending.
According to club tradi
tion members exchanged
mystery Christmas gifts,
only to “fess up from whom,
after all. A highlight for
everyone was singing
“Happy Birthday" to mem
ber Carolyn Whipple who
was at the Hotel with her
family.
