PARTIES CONTINUE FOR MARCH BRIDE-ELECT Miss Cynthia Martin entertained at a kitchen shower Tuesday afternoon honoring Miss Elizabeth Blackwell, popular bride-elect. The hall of the Martin home on Main street was de corated in a profusion of yellow fiowers. In the reception room, where three tables were placed for appro priate contests, a red, white, and blue color motif was used. Each guest was presented a small bouquet of white and blue flowers. The honoree’s place at the tables was designated by a red, white, and blue colonial bouquet and chocolate candy bride and groom. After the games, Miss Blackwell was presented a tray bearing a large number of kitchen gifts. Ice cream decorated with cherries and cakes were served late in the af ternoon. | Calling iafter the games were Mrs. P. D. Johnson, Mrs. G. D. Blackwell, Mrs. Jordan Pool, and Mrs. T. C. Pool. One looking into the Country Club of Newberry Tuesday evening would have wondered how one managed to get into Farmer Brown’s barn instead of the modernistic club room. But no such mistake would have been made for the club did look just like a barn when decorated for the barn dance Tuesday. The floor was covered with hay. Bales of bay surrounded the walls for the dancers to sit on. Cur tains were made of burlap and cob webs covered the lights. On the man tle was a chicken coop with a few very much talive hens doing their part toward making the scene more effective. About the room lay har nesses, plows, and other things sug gestive of farm life. Even the Col lege ‘N’ Orchestra of Newberry Col lege directed by Chris Kaufmann did its bit, other than furnishing music, by playing in a rather tumbled-down wagon and all the orchestra members were dressed as farmers. I under stand that Dave Blackwell, Kitty Anderson, and Perry Kessler deserve all credit for the unique decorations for the occasion, while farm effects were generously furnished by John son-McCrackin. The dance began at 9:30 and upon arrival most of the guests lost all dignity by having to make a dramatic entrace into the club room by going down a slide and landing on a pile of hay. But as for some of the more colorful costumes and there were so many, g Since a prize was to be awarded to each man and woman wearing the most original costume, two had to be chosen. Judges were Mrs. J. G. Barnwell, of Whit mire, Mrs. J. D. French, and Chris Kaufmann. For the ladies, Mrs. C. C. Hutto was winner. She was farm lassie, dressed in a red checked dress with her blond hair done up in braids, and wore comical glasses. El- lesor Adams won the men’s prize. He was an aged farmer with white hair— something like an uncle Ezra I ima gine. Before these two prize win ners were named, they had to be se lected from eight of the best on the floor. And of file remaining six, some grand costumes were noted. Miss Julia Kathryn Ruff was attractive in a peasant dress with red predominating, Mrs. Richard Baker was another country maid with a full skirt, white jacket, and a very floppy hat. Mrs. Aubrey Harley looked unusually striking in a Norwegian peasant dress. As for the gentlemen, James Evans was dressed as a young man of the gay nineties with a high stiff collar, straw hat, and a carnation in his coat lapel. Major J. T. Crawford, from Whitmire, was another farmer, Who fitted perfectly into the sur roundings. And last, but not least, I must mention Dave Blackwell, one of the “mountain boys”. Dave wore some nice fitting trousers, a big straw hat, moccasins and red socks. His face was well-covered with red freck les and he carried a straw in his mouth and over his shoulder was swinging a jug. Other costumes that I just can’t find room to mention were three prisioners, milk maids, , and farmers and peasants, galore. The event will be remembered as the most outstanding affairs since the re-or ganization of the club. Two delightful pre-nuptial parties were given last week for Miss Eliza beth Blackwell, who will be married to Duncan Johnson late next month. Miss Elizabeth Mower entertained at a miscellaneous shower Wednesday for Elizabeth and Miss Julia McAl haney and Miss Frances Baxter honored her at a towel shower Sat urday afternoon... Interesting parties continue this week for the busy bride- elect. Tuesday afternoon. Miss Cyn thia Martin, a close friend of the bride-elect, entertained at her home on Main street at a kitchen shower. For this event the patriotic motif was ef fectively carried out—the date being Washington’s birthday. Friday afrer- noon, Miss Caroline Mayes will honor Elizabeth at a party on the College campus. Saturday, the honoree goes to Columbia for the weekend—a party being given for her Saturday after noon by Miss Margaret Goza, daugh ter of Postmaster and Mrs. E. C. Goza. I understand this will be a linen shower. Imagine! ^na bipde- elect having so many showers all at once. At any rate, Elizabeth should have a supply of most everything when she and Duncan get ready to furnish the apartment they will take in the city. The latest report is that the bene fit for Chris Kaufmann is coming along nicely. Few thought that the seemingly capable College Registrar would ever be put into such an em- barrasing position. But it was all because of the old faithful typewriter that pounds out this column weekly. In writing of the D. A. R. tea which was held Tuesday, on Washington’s birthday, the typewriter, getting com pletely out of control rushed on ahead saying that the tea would be on the 22nd and in parenthesis stated “for the benefit of Chris Kaufmann.” I know the worn keys didn’t intend to issue such a statement, but being a little tired, just got things confused. It was like this—everyone knows Washington’s birthday is on the 22nd —that is, everybody except Chris Kaufmann. Chris at his best, cannot keep prominent men’s birthdays straight, so by putting “for the bene fit of Chris Kaufmann” in parenthe sis after the 22nd, we thought it would help Chris remember that his popular orchestra was to play at the Country Club of Newberry dance on Washington’s birthday and not Lin coln’s birthday, as he had formerly stated. However with such a capable registrar, orchestra leader, and gene ral handy man at the College as Chris, I think we will not have to worry any more about the benefit. But I’m con vinced that the Daughters of the Re volution would do their part if called upon. An annual affair of great interest is the meeting of the Mothers’ Club when the members of the Woman’s Club are invited as guests. This ’gathering will be held Friday after noon at 3:30 at the home of Mrs. J. N. Beard, Mothers’ Club president, and Dr. R. C. Grier, president of Erskine College, will be the principal speaker. Weekend visitors in the city i eluded the following: Miss Eliza beth Coppock, Spartanburg, arrived Friday and stayed until Sunday af ternoon with Mrs. W. H. Carwile and Miss Fannie Mae Carwile on Calhoun street. Miss Coppock, a former New- berrian, is now supervisor of primary work in the Spartanburg City schools. ... Mrs. T. A.

After the session, a social hour was enjoyed when bridal games and contests were held. The home on this occasion was de corated in carnations, jonquils, and other spring flowers.

SILVERSTREET LEAGUE GIVES ENJOYABLE SOCIAL Saturday evening, February 19th the Silverstreet Luther league enter tained at a delightful party with Miss Rose Hamm and Miss Pearle Hamm as hostesses in their home at Silver- street. The home was very attrac tive on the occasion with a profusion of lovely jonquils, narcissi, and daf fodils furnishing floral decorations. Much fun and excitement was created by the measuring of the waist of each guest, the guest paying a penny for each inch of measurement. By way of introduction each one present was asked to give his or her name, address, occupation and hobby.
