The Haileyburian Highgrade from ROSES IN DECEMBER by Frances Parkinson Keyes In a delightful memoir long awaited by her readers, Frances Parkinson Keyes now tells the story of her infancy at the Uni- versity of Virginia, where her father headed the Greek depart- ment; her upbringing in New Eng- land -- partly in a small Vermont village and partly in Boston's fash- jonable Back Bav; of her two years spent in Europe, a decade apart; of her determined efforts to write, which were constantly discouraged, first by her mother, then by her fiance; of her en- gagement and marriage, despite considerable opposition, to a prom- inent man, considerably her sen- ior, who had long been a family friend and who proved a success- ful rivat w youthful suitors, With warmth and affection she describes the succession of beauti- ful and historic houses where she and her family lived. She vivid- ly presents her two grandmothers, so entirely different in type; her father, renowned as one of the Page 6 Mission Circle Works on Projects Mrs. Gib Lowe was in the chair for the October meeting of the Haileybury Pentecostal Mission Cirele, which was opened with prayer by Mrs. Fioyd Harman, and the singing of choruses by the group. Mrs. August Olson read the Scripture, Psalm 65, versus 11 to 18, and followed this with a Thanksgiving poem. Mrs. W. Graff brought the Thanksgiving message, stressing the points that saving faith rests on God's promise and knows no change. It is by faith and not feeling that the soul lives, and we must share this faith. If we step out with our faith in God, He will never fail us. She ended her talk by reading a poem entitled "The Gift of Faith'. A duet, 'Beautiful Garden of Prayer', was sung by Mrs. Fred Harman and Mrs. James Harman. This part of the meeting was brought to an end with Mrs. Arn- old Hayslip and Mrs. Arnold Ol- son leading in prayer. Afterwards the ladies worked on their sew- ing projects. Lunch was served by Mrs. N, Hermiston and Mrs. W. Churchill, assisted by Miss Marilyn Hermis- ton in the absence of Mrs. Charles McRoberts. United Church Tea and Bazaar A most successful Fall Tea and Bazaar was held in the church basement on Saturday, October 14, sponsored by the members of the Women's Federation of St. And- rew's United Church. Mrs. C. E. Peacock and Mrs. H. Pickard greeted the guests at the door. The room was colorfully decor- ated with autumn leaves and paint- ed bullrushes. The tea table was most attractive, with a Madeira embroidered table cloth over an underlay of mauve. A floral eentre- piece of mauve and yellow autumn blooms was flanked by silver eandleabra and silver services. Pouring during the afternoon were Mrs. R. Murphy, Mrs. T. H. Millar, Mrs. N. McAulay and Mrs. A. Sanderson. The Tea was convened by Mrs. Klass Sroka, assisted by Mrs. F. Brooks, Mrs. G. Judson, Mrs. J. Neelands, Mrs. E. Fitzgerald, Mrs. J. Murphy and Mrs. D. Atchison. Mrs. R.

Thursday, October 19, 1961 Cobalt Library greatest classical scholars of his time, who died when she was very young; and her mother, vivacious, witty and arch, who married again, this time to a Boston law- yer with a great political future, which came to a sudden end when his wife divorced him. Mrs. Keyes recalls an era when fine needlework was still consid- ered a requisite part of a girl's education, but when Greek might also be included in her curriculum; when swimming was restricted, but good horsemanship a standard ac- complishment; when young men made formal calls, presenting vis- iting cards at the door before they were admitted. ROSES IN DECEMBER, reflect- ing an era of culture, charm and elegance, is filled. with animated recollections of a now famous wo- man -- one deftly capable of bringing to life both the joys and hood; and who reveals in the pro- cess her conviction that the only time to leave "a hard situation behind you is when you have licked it, that promises of whatsoever kind are binding, and that oppos- ition is the surest way to crystal- lize determination". ARIEL CUSTER by Grace Livingston Hill Ariel Custer looked curiously like the portrait of her illustrious ancestor when she lifted a firm little chin and left the beloved but empty home in the South to seek her fortune in' an unknown northern city. But fortune was kind, and with the aid of a refrac- tory motorcycle, precipitated - her literally into the arms of Judson Graniss. No more chivalrous friend. than strong, quiet, girl-shy Jud Graniss could Ariel have found. But Mrs. Graniss had other plans for her only son. The course of true love runs even more turbulent. than usual, though Ariel and Jud find sorrows of her childhood and girl- an unexpected -ally in little Miss Emily Dillon. : | af HOLY CROSS PARISH IN HAILEYBURY BAZAAR WED. & THURS.
