Mrs. Boyle, after spending sev
eral winters in Pinehurst, has re
cently become a resident of
Southern Pines. Her work in re
habilitation of veterans both
young and old as weU as several
courses in European and Ameri
can universities has provided
background especially suited to
her subject. Most outstanding
perhaps was a course in Interna-
versity where she acted as inter
preter for a class of men from oth-
I er countries.

Episcopal Women
Hold Traditional
Epiphany Luncheon
After an Epiphany service at
Emmanuel Episcopal Church last
Friday, conducted by the Rev.
Francis Osborne qf Pinehurst, a
luncheon was held in the parish
hall. Sandwiches," which the
women had brought, and coffee
were enjoyed prior to the cutting
of the Epiphany cake—highlight
of the luncheon.
The cake, baked by Mrs. H. C.
Lefroy, was a large one, dazzling
with lighted candles which little
Sarah Ann Brockwell was called
upon to blow out, a feat accom
plished with a few mighty puffs.
The cake was filled with tokens
of various kinds, and everyone
was cautioned to “bite carefully!”
Keenest interest centered on find
ing the bean and the pea, for, ac
cording to an old English custom,
f ind’ers of these are to be hostesses
for next year’s Epiphany lunch-
Miss Harriet Barnurn found
meaning love of wisdom express
ed in thought, word and deed.
From that definitiorfifehe made the
point that the, truly wise know
where they are going. Illustrating
with short dramatic anecdotes, of
ten humorous, she applied this
point to the various stages of life,
the child, teen-ager, middle-aged,
and retired person.
After she had answered the
a satisfactory philosophy of life
will help us to avoid. Some of
these were: running around in
circles; aimless, restless travel; al
lowing our activities to get us into
a rut, instead of proving that life
is a challenge to live and learn;
self-pity instead of interest in
something bigger than ourselves;
self-seeking instead of self-giving.
Several problems which stimu
lated thought were p;:esented with
no attempt to solve them. After
speaking of our electronic age and
huge military budgets, she sound
ed an optimistic note concerning
split atoms for constructive as
well as destructive use. She con
cluded her talk with the thought
that a philosophy of life, founded
on the Christian religion is the
most helpful that the world has
known.
Miss Louise Haynes, president
of the Civic Club, introduced the
speaker. Tea was served. Mrs.
Wade Stevick and Mrs. Louise
Fitch poured. Hostesses were Mrs.
Ralph Chandler, Jr., Miss Carol
Day, Miss Polly Dix, and Mrs.
George Coleman.
