C. Oct 17-18 Black-clad guests walked up a candle lit path through the front door on which hung a white wreath. Upon entering, each per son signed the visitors’ book and solemnly took seats to await Ferd and Jen, who were chauffered to the party in a black limousine. As they entered, Bill began reading a eulogy with organ music playing softly in the background. Another area contributing ef fectively to the decor was the patio, seen through the living room window. Here was a ‘pine box” draped with half black - half white and topped with crossed tennis rackets (no strings!). Everyone kept sad faces as long as they could - about five minutes - when laughter broke the chiU. This will no doubt long be re membered as a hilarious party and in spite of all the antics, ol’ Ferd knows that ‘life begins at forty!” European Trip Study Club Subject Highlighting a recent trip to Athens, Greece, which Dr. and Mrs. Marshall Brown took last summer, was a seven-day cruise on the steamship "Jason” to sev eral isles in the Age an Sea and to Turkey, Mrs. Brown said in a talk to the Study Club Wednes day. Departing from Piraeus, Crete was the first port of call, which has been said to be the cradle of cultural knowledge of Eu rope. Now much excavation, going back to 4,000 B.C., has been done there and many ornaments and household vessels recovered, es pecially at the Palace of Knos- sos, which was in its glory be fore 1600 B.C. There is the oldest throne room in Europe, the Mi- novayn period, which was most outstanding. It came to an abrUpt end about 1600. Conquered by the Venetians and Turks, the island was set free in 1913 and incor porated into Greece. A mule ride up the volcano formed island of Santoriui took Mrs. Brown into the mountan- inous interior of the island. These mules are piously believed by some natives, to contain souls who are serving their urgatory. On the island were shops and a profusion of tropical flowers, es pecially geraniums. Grapes and wine are noteworthy products. Mrs. Brown described Rhodes as a land of butterflies, roses, hibiscus and bonganvillea. She said there is a fine hotel on the island. Sailing on, the group stopped at Ephesus of Bible history. Passing there were caravans from all over the world. Exca vations disclosed buildings, paved streets, sometimes of marble, 70 ft. wide and lined with tall columns leading to the water side. There is a former theatre where the Apostle Paul preached. Going through the Dardenelles, the boat docked at Istanbul, Tur key, which has been described as the city of Mosques. Chandeliers were low hanging as worshippers sat on the floor. Especially beau tiful was the blue mosque. The mosques featured oriental rugs. Mrs. Brown also described the Sultan’s palace, H/2 miles long whose jewels are considered by some to be more beautiful than the English Crown jewels. The the ming china and porcelain is considered most beautiful in the world. She described a ten-mile long underground bazaar contain ing 3,000 shops in Istanbul. Delos, an island most im portant for wealth and commerce was visited. It was once con sidered the birthplace of the mythical god Apollo and his twin sister, Artemus, the moon god dess. In ancient times, hollow marble columns were used as cisterns for families on this Island. Mlkonos, popular as a tourist center, was mentioned by Mrs. Brown as a port of call. There are many artist there, attracted by the white cube-shaped houses. Athens was mentioned as a very beautiful city with olive trees and mountain views and, crowning the city, the ruins of the Acropolis with its majestic Parthenon. Also tours to the sur rounding areas were taken. Mrs. Brown showed pictures, jewelry, cups and saucers, spoons and a hand embroidered dress which she brought home as souvenirs from Greece. The club met at the home of Mrs. Robert E. Wysor on Calvert Ave. and the meeting was at tended by members who exchang ed books. Adorning the Wysor home were roses and pastel dahlias. A salad plate, coffee and bonoons were served for refreshments. ATTIC SALE! OCTOBER 22-23 10:00 A. M. • 6:00 P. M.
