% Iffi'JSTf THE CHRONICLE, Clinton, S. C., Dec. 26, 1969—»-A (Editorial Comment) “Houses open every day brightly lit with much array. Tables ladened with such display Make it hard to say “nay.* All this partying and endulging! In relating I'm divulging, the spirit’s soaring, but the waistline’s bulging!* Mrs. Raymond Pitts was hos tess at her home on Carolina Ave. the evening of Dec. 12 for a supper and eggnog party. The rooms were all decked in Christmas splendor with red car nations and nandine berries blending to form a showy ar rangement on the dining room table. Most unusual and receiving many comments was the abundant display of southern sonilax framing the archways. “MissHe lena" obtains this lovely greenery every year from Sumter. Another point of interest was a table tree form filled in with hemlock and red balls in the living room. Out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. George Bultman of Sumter, brother and sister-in- law of the hostess. The hilltop home of Dr. and Mrs. Dan Orr at Duncan Creek Farm was the setting for one of the prettiest parties of the Christmas season. Instead of traditional reds and greens, “Tot" decorated with pastel tones which blended har moniously with their soft pink color scheme. Centering the dining table was a boxwood tree trimmed with con fection sugar ornaments. Re peated in the entrance hall, hang ing temptingly Worn the chande lier was a “kissing ball," also graced with sweetmeats. The guests migrated to the basement recreation room to sample more delicious food and punch which was rumored that “Dr. Dan* himself had prepared. “Tot’s decorating talents were evident again here where the large refreshment table was cov ered with a white felt cloth trimmed with sequined red and green holly appliques. Centering this was a blanket of green leaves nestled with shiny red balls emerging with many tall red tapers. The log burning stove fire place and beautiful cedar tree further enhanced the warmth of this charming Christmas party. * * * DEBUTANTE COFFEE Mrs. Frances Blalock and Mrs. Delmar Rhame entertained at a coffee Saturday morning at the Blalock home honoring debu tantes Misses Katherine Arnold, Sharon Plaxico, and Melissa Tur ner. Other debs of the season and their mothers were special guests. The lovely decorations dis played in the home were appro priate for the season and in cluded a classic debutante ar rangement of red carnations and white crysanthemums inter spersed with nandina berries and terns in a stately silver epergne on the refreshment table. It was an enjoyable affair for everyone, especially for the girls who chatted excitedly among each other since most of them were having their first reunion since September. They look forward to several more parties before their big “coming out" on December 30. * * * INFORMAL Mr. and Mrs. Claude Crock er, Ginger and Claude Jr., in vited friends and neighbors'to their home in Merrie Oaks Sun day for an informal get-together. The “generation gap" was ap parent only in that the children had their own little party with Christmas punch in the den, while their parents enjoyed eggnog in the front rooms. Several there were showing off early Christmas presents. Twelve year old Mildred Brock- enbrough came in beaming, but with eyes half closed for tear of losing her brand new contact lenses. The Brockenbroughs came over from Greenwood to be with their former neighbors from Merrie Oaks. * * * Blue Laws The name, Blue Laws, originated in the Connecticut colony, which printed a set of firm statements of what to do and what not to do, and bound them in a blue paper cover. NEWCOMERS—Mesdames Bill Mor row, Jack Harrill and Boyce Cock- man of the Clinton Newcomers Club are shown as they prepare a basket for a needy family during the holi day season.
