1925.89 December 29 1925

Regular Meeting, Dec. 29, 1925.

The regular meeting of the Tuesday Club was held December twenty-ninth, at the Unitarian Parish House and was opened by the President. After the usual business, Mrs. Ethelbert V. Grabill, Chairman of the History and Travel Committee, introduced Professor Albery E. Bailey, of Boston Unviversity, who gave an illustrated lecture entitled "Cruising About", and considering the vast amount of territory covered, the title was an admirable one. After boarding the Steamer Lapland, we cruised to Madiera, then to Gibraltar, Algiers and Monte Carlo. From there we were to Constantinople, that city of seven mosques on seven hills, then to Athens and then to Palestine with its store of Biblical associations. How vividly we recalled the Sunday School of our childhood, as we were shown Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives, the ruins of Jericho, the River Jordan, Jacob's Well, Nazareth, The Sea of Galilee,

Damascus, and the original setting of the Twenty Third Psalm. Lastly we cruised to Egypt, along the Nile, stopping at Luxor, viewing the Valley of the Kings and the tomb of Tut-ankh-amen and ending our journey at Thebes. Upon our return, tea was served at the Loring-Greenough House. The tables were decorated with poinsettas and tall red candles, and the pourers were Mrs. B. F.* Appleby*, Mrs. W. B. Parker, Mrs. N. A.* Hazard and Mrs. J. A. Woodrough*.

Respectfully submitted, Lucy E. Henderson, Rec. Sec.
