THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1925 THE CLINTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. PAGE THREE SOCIETY EVENTS ' ' ■ OF INTEREST TO WOAEN Mrs, Larry B. Dillard, Society Editor. Telephone 154 “WEARING OF THE GREEN” Oh, Paddy, dear, and. did you hear the news that's gohT round, The shamrock is / forbid by law to grow on Irish*ground; St. Patrick’s Day no more we’ll keep, his colors can’t be seen. For there’s a bloody law again’ the wearing of the green. I met with Napper Tandy and he tuk me by the hand, And he said, “How’s good ould Ireland and how does she stand?” She’s the most distressful country that you’ve ever seen, They’re hanging men and women there for Wearing of the Green. But if at last our color should be torn from Ireland’s heart, Her sons with shame and sorrow from the dear soil will part; I’ve heard whispers of a country that lies beyant the uyi~ Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of freedom’s day. Oh, Erin, must we leave you, driven by the tyrant’s hand, Must we ask a mother's welcome from a strange but happy land; Where the cruel cross of England’s thralldom shall never be seen, And where, thank God, we’ll live and die, still Wearing of the Green. —An o'd ballad. o BRIDGE CLUB ENTERTAINED Mrs. W.

When the sun slowly sinks to rest just over that baby home will not Clintonians perceive a new halo, and will not even strangers note an added glory? A beacon—a blessing—a benediction! When the president of Thornwell Orphanage appealed to the Triplet Synodicals two years ago, his voice was not so much heard as the cries of little brothers and sisters separated one from another. At Thornwell there are many families minus the baby, and why? There was no place provided and ashift must go to the motherless - fatherless babe until of age to enter. No longer is the condition such, and the most attract ive baby home in the whole Southland is to be found in our midst. There will be no need of pavement for beat en paths will lead to the entrance, as every visitor to the orphanage, nay, even to Clinton, will visit that fairy land. Practically is ready and the attractive matron, Mrs. L. R. Clark, awaits with motherly affection the first arrival. Six of the older gilds, after much deliberation, have been chosen as helpers, for there were twenty applications, and they are waiting to join the triumphal entry of the “first baby.” The steam heat has already been turned on, hot and cold water in ample supply; a case of soap on hand; attractive beds all spread, and the white enameled pedes tal tubs issuing the invitation: “Come in, the water’s fine!” These evoked a shout of praise from mothers when they thought of the many back aches caused by bending over and lifting heavy tin tubs. Possibly, the most attractive spot is the beautifully fur nished dining room. All furniture is in old ivory, bearing a tracing of blue, and the dear little chairs and tables make you long for the occupants. Truly, fairy land awaits the fairies! The building bears the name of “The Louise Mayes Baby Cottage,” in honor of one who so nobly and hearti ly launched the work. Before any definite accomplishments, Mrs. Mayas was called home, and her ab’c .-«uc- cessor, Mrs. Andrew Bramlett, tell zealously in line. The cottage was opened to the pub lic on March 16th, thereby commem orating two significant dates—the birth of the founder, Dr. William Plumer Jacobs, and the death of Mrs. Louise Mayes. Present on this occa sion were Mr. Carles Mayes and Miss Mary Mayes, of Greenville,'Who pre sented a photograph of their lovely mother. In the reception room it hangs to greet the baby family and all comers, for ’twas she who said: “It can be done, and it will be done." Dr. Lynn made a few remarks rela tive to the call and mentioned parti cularly the hearty response of Mrs. Sam McNeel, of York, who gave $3,500 for furnishings; of Mrs. Geo. M. Wright, of Laurens, who conduct ed the South Carolina campaign; of Mrs. Andrew Bramlett, of Columbia, president of the - South Caro'ina Synodical. Dr. Lynn then introduced Mrs. Bramlett, who in a most charm ing and delightful manner brought greetings from all the Synodicals. Mrs. Bramlett took great pride in tell ing of the hearty cooperation of Mrs. W. A. Turner, president of the Synodi cal of Georgia, and Mrs. H. A. Love, president of the Synodical of Florida, and Mrs. Arthur Spencer, who con ducted the Florida campaign. Friends recall the days of pilgrim ages and come from the four corners to the baby shrine which is to be dedi cated in June at the semi-centennial celebration. At the opening, delega tions were present from Due West, Laurens, Greenville, Newberry, Wood ruff, Union, and a large concourse from Clinton and surrounding coun try.
