Clinton, S. 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.
