I This, That and t
II. G
Recently Major J. C. Hemphill, of j
the Spartanburg Journal, indulged in J
several paragraphs of persiflage asj
to the morning bridge parties of the! ladies
of Abbeville. The major is too,,
astute, too "cute,"' as the English ]
would say, to express himself directly j,
, and beats considerably round the; 1
' 1 1 ^or/1 mniion.l 1
Dusn wim iacucjuusiicao cmv.
do, arriving finally at his meaning by <
j contrasting the women of Abbeville |
| and the women of Spartanburg. Of I
I the latter he says: j ,
"She openeth her mouth with wis-j1
dom and in her tongue is the law of i
kindness. She looketh well to thej<
ways of her household, and eateth not|v
the bread of idleness. Her children j1
arise up, and call her blessed; her|(
husband also, and he praiseth her. 1
That's why Spartanburg is so pleas- 1
ant a place to live in." 1
]
To soften the blow on the women
of Abbeville he rings in the women! j
Greenville and Columbia because he
knows that it is very probable that j
sometime he will be entertained by ,
these same women of Abbeville. How
honey-sweet the words flow when 'the,,
major says, "it would appear that^(
nine of the most' charming women in ,
Abbeville had their domestic arrange-J
ments so perfectly adjusted that they
could occupy the entire morning in j
pleasant chat over cards and salad
and coffee. Isn't it wonderful how
women of Abbeville and Greenville '
and Columbia can find time for this
sort of thing in the morning?"
{ <
Sensing the real spirit back of 1
Majar Hemphill's remarks and feel- ^
ing that the women of Abbeville S
should be defended from the strong- a
ly implied charge that household <
duties were being neglected for
bridge in the morning there comes a i
young lady of fifteen summers whose t
home is now in Spartanburg, but i1
who lived until recently in Abbeville, 1
and has a number of things to say to <
the major. <
1
It's hard to fool youth and the girl ^
who writes the following knew that
there was a little of the masterful ^
male who would tell woman how she
should keep her household in order,
a little of wonder that she could and (
-li 1L i.i \ ,1i?
I ac tne same time enjoy nersen wun j
bridge in the morning, and, a great
deal of envy that he was not living
in a community where women could
so order their goings and comings ,
that no household duties be neglected ,
and plenty of time left for other
j things, including the preparation of
i bountiful feasts, where the male of
the species could fill to repletion to
' put on edge for a game of setback?1
! many games of setback.
|
Here is what the young lady has to
say in defense of the "wives and;
i mothers" of Abbeville and we rather
think she makes a strong case and;
|she writes as tho stfe were still living,
in Abbeville and enjoying the good
things here:
Miss Lelia Ellis, Wilmington, N.
; C., will arrive in Abbeville Tuesday
j to take charge of 4he millinery de-'
partment of Haddon-Wilson. Miss
Ellis has been in New York for the
past ten days buying goods for her
i department.
Mrs. Fulp Entertains.
i 1
Mrs. J. D. Fulp entertained a few 1
' |
friends at bridge Saturday afternoon ,
at her home on North Main street. \
There were three tables of players ]
and the games were interesting and \
lively. A salad course was served,
the guests being invited into the din- 1
. ing room which was lovely in its dec-!
; orations of old blue and fragrant
, with the first jonquils of the season. |
Mrs. Fulp proved a charming hos-^
tess and this afternoon will long be 3
. remembered by her guests. ,

In Defense of Abbeville Wives and If
Mothers.
"As future housekeepers of Abbe- !f
t'ille and as girls, whose maternal an- |f
lestors have been among the best If
housekeepers of the state, we wish to {{
Jefend the housekeepers of Abbeville, ji
We are positive that the Press and fl
Banner as usual, will come forth with ||
a very convincing article supporting \\
ihem, but we feel that an article jf
from some of the poor overlooked ]l
children will be even more convinc- II
ill
We supose that Major Hemphill li
luring his long absence from Abbe-'f?
rille has forgotten the renown if
yhich the women have long ago gain- if
jd as cooks. We do not think that it 11
! 5
s posible for him or anybody else to ||
find better housekeepers than the wo- j-e
Tien of Abbevlile. We have often If
2E
aeard it said that nothing seemed to ||
;2ste so good as when cooked by Ab- |f
Seville women. But we have not been \\
:ontent merely with following recipes ||
cnown all over the United States, but if
serve some dishes, which are to this if
lay peculiar to the people of Abbe- [j
rille, such as the old-fashioned gypsy ||
:ake, which is a particular favorite j|
with everybody.
We have never felt the neglect of f j
:ur mothers.
When we come home from school ||
tve find clean warm houses and good H
| f I
sinners. |||
Another reason our mothers can }1
2njoy social events is that they were j I
such good housekeepers that they ji
drained their daughters to do the \%
work, so if the bridge parties come on ||
Saturdays or on holidays, we are ' jg
ible to help them out?we love to H
i II*
:?0k. . ;||
Therefore, for all these reasons we ||
ire willing to let our mothers go to })
;heir little social affairs-and feel that |]
k is better for them to attend parties; \ {
3y doing so, are all the better moth- |I
;rs and wives. They are much more \\
:ble to enter into our fun and plan ;j
for our fathers' noted "setback" par- jj
nes. | j
We do not wonder that you think
:heir ability to accomplish so much is ??
wonderful. It only shows what effi:ient
housekeepers they are to be sent
so able' to manage that their pleas- ^he :
ures do not interfere with their duty crea!
at home. We believe as that old iny<
E\dage says, "All work and no play Coun
makes Jack a dull boy." Just so with woul
the ladies, "All work and no play have
makes Mrs. a poor housekeeper we c
^nd mother." were
So when our time comes, it is our i'l
intention to follow in their footsteps, tion
Come down Major Hemphill, and we vers;
shall see if we can teach you, so that forts
you may be able to teach the women ing
of Spartanburg how to combine duty scho
and pleasure. We believe that it is the
just this combination that makes sHit*
Abbeville such a pleasant place to lines
live in. mair

DESERTION OF COUNTRY

In a letter to Gifford Pinchott, MAi

this country was a grave nal'or.::! LOS

"There is too much flocking: to the! m

compared with the popula-1
tion, in the number of peoDle who.
