THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1927 THE CUNTON CHRONICLE, CLINTON, S. C. PAGE SOCIETY EVENTS i or INTEREST TO WOMEN Mrs. Larry B. Dillard, Society Editor. Telephone XS4 LITTLE WORDS It's just the little human touch That makes the game worth while, The little helpful words of praise, The little helpful words of praise, The small and cheery smile. Though success crown your efforts and ■- You’re near the higher peak— The Lord be thanked for kindly words Men did not fear to speak. When troubles daunt and sorrows sway, And all the world is wrong, When sunshine is obscured by rain, .And silent is all song, It’s mighty hard to pull ahead When hope is almost gone. But little words like these , have helped— “Good work, old man, keep on!” It does not take much time to say A word or two of praise. And yet uncounted worth is there To help through cheerless days. And Oh, the hearts that have gained hope When life was drear and bleak. From the kindly words, the cheering words Men did not fear to speak. —Edmund Learn. LOVELY TEA BY MRS.

Delightful musical numbers were ren dered by Miss Mary Lou Bell, Mrs. Oliver Burroughs, and Mrs. J. F. Ja cobs, Jr. . • John Holland Hunter was the “end man” of the occasion and after the “initiation perch” of Tommy Grafton J and Gary Martin, announced the maid en performance of an all-star cast: “When Father Goes On a Diet.” Parts were cleverly taken by Mosdames G. W- B. Smith, Gary Martin,. J. H. Hun ter, Wilson Harris, and Gilbert* Blake ly, Gobie Sloan and Tommy Grafton. A blind-folded boxing match as well as a blind-folded banana feast proved quite exciting to the participants and Ludicrous to the spectators. John Hol land Hunter proved himself quite a skilled song leader and soon had his audience master the Siamese tongue, to the extent of singing “O What a Goose I Am!” to the tune of “Ameri ca.” The singing of “Good Night, La dies” scattered the guests, all loud in their praise of Mr. Hunter’s entertain ment.
