Yule Party
For Children
Given by Club
Professional and
Business Women
Make Many Happy
Nearly 70 small boys and girls
were happy last night at a Christ
mas party, given by the Business
and Professional Women’s Club at
the First Congregational Church,
when gifts of clothing and toys
were distributed following the din
ner which the club women gave for
children on probation to the Juven
ile Court.
Each member of the club, as
signed a child for whom to provide
Christmas cheer, had personally
questioned her small charge prior
to the party as to what he or she
particularly desired from Santa
Claus. One of the smaller girls
expressed a wish for a “lot of little
things” instead of one large gift.
As she prepared to leave the party,
she stood laden with numerous
packages, which appeared far too
great a load for one small child.
"Can’t I help you,” a member of
the club asked. "Aren’t those
na/*1rocrAe Vioovv9”
“No,” the child replied, “they’re
my presents."
Nothing had been overlooked by
the club women in making the party
a success, from the large Christmas
tree with its brilliant electric lights,
provided by Mrs. Estelle Whiting,
to transportation to and from the
party, supervised by a committee
headed by Judge Fay Bentley, as
sisted by Miss Genevieve Gabower,
in charge of the Juvenile Court’s
social work, and Miss Margaret
Ralston.
Judge Lucy Howorth, club presi
dent, received enthusiastic assist
ance from her husband, known to
the members as “Joe,” and whom
the club decided last night should
be elected to the auxiliary in recog
nition of his services. “Judge
Lucy” and “Joe” saw that each
small guest received a bright col
ored paper cap at his place at the
dinner table.
Mrs. T. B. Thompson, church
hostess at the dinner, was assisted
by church members in serving the
dinner and providing the ice cream
for dessert.
Mrs. Grace Keller Cooper was
chairman of the Program Commit
tee with Miss Naneita Antilotte as
her chief assistant. Other members
of her committee were Mrs. Elsie
Coleman, Miss Elsie Green, Miss
Esta Lamb, Dr. Julia H. Strobel,
Miss Zulah Purvis, Miss Elizabeth
N. Barnes. Miss Emily E. Clark and
Miss Grace Goodposture. Miss Ral
ston was Emblem Committee chair
man. Miss Earlene White, head of
the Membership Committee, with
Miss Florine Gibson distributed the
gifts. Co-workers were Mrs. Ruth
Baker, Miss Amorette Bledsoe, Mrs.
Clara Isabel Boone, Miss Pearl
Cooper, Miss Pearl Cramer, Miss
Faustine Dennis, Mrs. Marian Jones,
Miss Olga Jones, Miss Margaret Jus
tice, Mrs. Bonnie H. Kerr, Dr. Agnes
McNutt, Mrs. Louise Pierce, Miss
Mary V. Robinson, Mrs. Jewell W.
SwofTord, Mrs. Frances Wilson and

Professional Writers
Hear Cochran
Procrastination, lack of original
ity, ignorance of editorial demands,
lack of attention to detail in pre
paring manuscripts for submission
to editors, and unwillingness to
serve an apprenticeship, are para
mount "sins of the short story
writer," said Robert W. Cochran,
successful author and short story
writer, in an address before the
Professional Writers’ Club at the
Y. W. C. A. last night.
Mr. Cochran, who is a winner of
an honorable mention award in the
current O'Brien "Collection of Prize
Short Stories," told how he started
writing and chicken farming be
cause he thought they were "easy
money." Although he discovered
he was mistaken on the matter of
financial gain, he admitted he is
enthusiastic about both ventures,
which he undertakes on his farm
near Beltsville, Md.
Mr. Cochran substituted last night
for Lewis Lofton Moneyway, local
author and short story teacher,
originally scheduled as speaker of
the evening.
