Chit - Chat
By CONSTANCE ARMFIELD
i i
The zestful spirit of autumn just
seems to do things of Newberrians.
Maybe it’s just the colorful landscape,
the desire to ramble through some
nearby woods during this lazy kind
of weather, the joy of purchasing a
new fall wardrobe, or it may be the
love bug, anyway somthing is in the
air and people of our fair city are
really going places and doing
things
A group that is starting out the
first of next week to go places and
do things is the Civic League. Not
that the League has not been going
and doing. Oh no, not by any means,
—they are just getting a fresh start.
The first meeting of • the season will
be held Tuesday at 4 p. m. with Mrs.
Herman Wright, Caldwell street. . .
Last year the League’s chief object
ive was beautification and this year
it will be health. You know the suc
cess of last year’s work and I don’t
have the least doubt that next sum
mer will find Newberrians much
better off on the health situation of
our city .... You know the Civic
League reminds me of the Catholic
church in one respect. What it sets
out to do, it gets done .... Mrs.
J. H. Summer is again serving as
president of the large group of
Leaguers and under her leadership—
well just watch the Civic League
during 37—38

Armfield The City League plans to
meet quarterly
There’s a fine organization in New
berry that I would like you to know
more about—the City League—com
posed of young people of all denom
inations of the city. Did you even
know that there was such a group
here? Probably not Sev
eral months ago a small group of
youth leaders from each city church
met and discussed the possibility of
such a League in the city. This
group met again and again with pas
tors reviewing pros and cons of an
intededonimational meeting. When
it was decided to try one here, com-
ittees were appointed to have charge
of programs, to direct a recreational
hour, to nominate officers, and to
draw up a constitution. A very suc
cessful meeting was held last week at
Aveleigh Presbyterian Church and the
following officers named; President,
John Gerald Hipp; vice-president,
Such popularity ... .Of course
the topic is Marion Jones. My soc
ial calender is practically filled with
pre-nuptial social events that have
been given and that are be'ng given
for this bride-elect of Saturday week
The Associate Reformed
Presbyterian is to be the scene of the
noon wedding we learn from invita
tions that have ben issued and imm
ediately following the ceremony
which will be conducted by Dr. J. W.
Carson, Miss Frances Jones is to
entertain at a luncheon for rela
tives of the couple and outof-town
guests .... Following the church
rehersal on Friday evening of next
week, the bride-elect’s parents, Mr.
and Mrs. S. B. Jones will entertain
at a reception on Harrington street .
.... Meanwhile gay social affairs
continue and this week-end has a
large number in store .... This
afternoon Mrs. H. M. Bryson, (I
almost wrote “Miss Bess”) is honor
ing Marion at a bridge party ....
Friday afternoon she has been asked
to attend the bridge party being
given by Mrs. Fred Dominick and
Miss Elizabeth Dominick at the home
of the former on Main street. . . .
Friday evening will find Marion at
Mrs. J. P. Moon’s home for a party
that promises to be one of the best
because all of the guests are—oh,
I almost forgot. Mrs. Moon told me
that was a secret Saturday
noon, Cornelia Mayer is honoring
Marion at a luncheon and early after
noon bridge Later Satur
day afternoon, leaving Cornelia’s
party, she is to call after cards -at
the home of Mrs. C. E. Hendrix
where Mrs. Hendrix and Mrs.
George Dominick are entertaining at
bridge. Also going with Marion to
this affair will be Miss Frances
Jones, Mrs. C. H. Albreecht, and
Mrs. Fred Gilbert
beleive it can be said without contra
diction that she is the best dancer
in the city and “Dede” could’-
nt be very far excelled if it came to
a boy’s dancing contest The
couple are living at 2094 Main street..

Whether the statement that society
editors are nosey is true or not I
will let you decide. However I do
know that this one was not quite
nosey enough concerning the Sprouse-
Evans affair. It’s something that
just up and happened. I wonder if
anyone knew about it Mrs.
E. D. Evans is the daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. J. M. Sprouse. Cecelia is
a member and a very popular mem
ber of Newberry’s younger set. I

LET’S GO . .
SHOPPING |
(BY MISS NEWBERRY)
Let’s go shopping. This bright
blue October weather and the every-
chlmging landscape' of brilliant hues
is enough lure for anyone to get out
and go. And in Newberry’s shops,
everything is new—it’s just the time
of year for newness, so don the old
gray bonnet and let’s go places.
In examining the 1938 Pontiac,
in fact the first 1938 Pontiac to be
sold in Newberry, I readily discover
ed why this car concern retained it’s
same slogan—“the most beautiful
thing on wheels.” Wemen appre
ciate a neat looking car that is so
easily handled when shopping or
tauring. I was delighted with the
Hew gear of the Pontiac that is a
small handle attached to the stering
rod just below the wheel. It’s no
task to learn to operate this “new
gadget" as it might be called like
you did when shifting of gears
changed to what is know known as
standard. However this new feature
of the Pontiac is optional And
here’s somthing new, anyone will
appreciate. When you switch on the
dash light, a small light comes on
over the ignition switch. Can’t you
imagine how helpful that will be . .
. . Notice the new wheels of the
Pontiac, the new front, the change
in the fenders,-. 0 my, I can’t be
gin to list all the things. Just drop
in to see Dave Hayes and he’ll te 5 l
you all
The whole town’s talking about
the new lunch stand at Rose’s newly
remodeled 6, 10, and25c store. . . .
that new place where you can get a
bountiful and refreshing lunch or
breakfast, or supper for an un-
beleiveable low price. The shinny
steel counter and equipment and the
neat little red chairs about the count
er are most attractive. Five girls
in crisp white uniforms huffy to
hand you a menu and tend to yaur
slightest desire. And Newberry is
the very first place in Roses’s chain
of stores to have a lunch counter. .
: ... If it’s a full day of shopping or
working when it would be cheaper,
time saving, and a more convenient
than going home, you can refresh in
a hurry at the modern fountian. I
know I’m going to try it soon
Parties, teas, and all kinds of
social gatherings of this gay social
season are all held indoors and this
means it’s the season when personal
appearance counts most. That be
autiful new suit, that gorgeous black
velvet dress, that esquisit dainty
blouse, must be properly kept if they
are to retain their smartness andchic,
and the selection of a cleaner, and
the right cleaner, to keep your en
semble the way you desire it, is
most important. My choice is Bla
locks and Blalock’s will be your
cleaning headquarters when you see
that they know just how to give your
clothes that certian glamour.
How we love the summer months
the months far the beach, the water,
the tennis court and golf course, but
oh how disasterous are these care
free months to our hair Never
before before have I known or heard
of Newberry having such a promis
ing gay social autumn, everybody
will be party-going and so for o new
and exiting coffieur. If it’s a new
cut, a rinse, shampoo, or set, why
not try the operators of the New
berry Beauty shop on the fifth floor
of the Exchange Bank building. . . .
You know that curls and more curls
are popular this season and can Miss
Kinard arrange all the curls you
want!
Have’nt you just loved these frosty
nights with the full harvest moon.
I’m almost getting off on an outdoor
subject in spite of the fact that I
had in mind to tell you about som
thing far the inside of your house.
The briskness in the air on the out
side suggests the snug warmth for
the inside, is what I was trying to
point out And it’s high time
you were thinking of the kind of
stove and heater which you will pur
chase. I’d like to recommend R. M.
Lominack Hardware for your shop-
Along with the apparel that you
are buying what about a new make-up
kit. . . .You know how the change in
weather treats your complexion. We
like our powder just a slight lighter
shade and a minor change in rouge,
creams, and lipstick will do no harm
for a new season.... and I know
of nothing to lift the spirits more
than a new lipstick. . . . Personally
I’d like to rerommend Cara Nome
products at Gilder and Weeks drug
store. ... I recently started using
them and am delighted with the lip
stick and rouge in particular ....
Dr. Weeks can fix you out with the
shade that suits you and he told me
confidentally that he thought Cara
Nome was good enough for any man .
How cozy it is to curl up in front
of a sparkling open fire, tune in on
your favorite musical band, and be
gin reading the latest navel . . . Did
you see a recent picture at a local
theatre where the leading star re
marked that he never got tired gazing
into an open fire. Most of us feel
that way too . . . And then when
the coals are low, what could be more
fun than toasting marshmellows . . .
And speaking of coal, you will want
to get your supply early before the
rush begins and prices rise ....
Sammie Williams at the Southern
Cotton Oil Mill will attend to that
if you just call 118 . . .
Let’s go a small ways out in the
county to continue our shopping or
this will be more of an inspection . .
an inspection 1 of Neel’s Dairy which
is the only dairy in Newberry county
that can boast pasturized milk . .
The plant is open anytime for your
visit. I wish you could have gone
out with me when Collier Neel, my
gracious host, explained everything
concerning his work and I bet you
wish you been with me while I drank
two bottles of iced cold and delicious
chocolate milk . . . And don’t forget
Neel’s dairy for baby’s milk, for
pasturized milk ....
Take heed all you grooms-to -be.
Might I suggest that you da your
shopping for diamonds, wedding
bands, or dinner rings at Turners’
Jewelry Shop on Caldwell street. I
just can not keep from staring at the
jewelry every time I go in Turners,
because here is such a wide variety
of beautiful things. I liKe jewelry

your choice is different. Turner’s

I’ve found it doesn’t hurt to look
at the 1938 cars even if you don’t
intend to buy one. The one I drive
is comparatively new, but that fact
didn’t keep me from examining one
of the new “American Beauties”—
the Dodge. However little change is
