1 librarian reported that two books

egret to -the Association that the treas

The lawv party Monday evening at
the Keetory was a veritable garden of
lose bnds gathered for a pleasant even*
iug before they mattered for the auni
mor. Miss Kktelle, the charming young
'daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. F. H. Harding
was the dainty flower-like hostess, It
,was au old-fashioned party where the
half hundred girls and boys played old*
time games atuid the flower* in the sum
mer starlight and sat beneath the great
oaks that wore illuminated with gay
lanterns. A festive scene that will long
retain its brightness iu two memory of
the happy young participants. Ice
cream and cake were served during the
evening.

One of the prettiest affairs of the
week was the dance on Monday eveuing
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kershaw
Long with Mis* Wilbur McOalluui aft
hostess, and a very attractive hostess
she lu'oved in a lovely and becoming
dress of pink natin. The rooms were
brilliantly lighted and cleared for danc
ing and this ever popular and innocent
amusement went 'merrily on for several
hours. On the lawn were two ."bowls
llHcd and refilled with refreshing punch,
and baskets of cake passed by little
Misses Bunny Lang and Mollie Black
well. Miss MoOallum's guests consisted
the IJigh School with "additions from j
j the younger dancing set. .
MISS EMMA VILLEPIGUE
ENTERTAINS
The Common cement season this year
has been a round of pleasure to the
"sweet gir! graduates" and their friends.
A season of festivities, music, dancing,
flowers and pretty .girls, who vied with
the flowers in their beauty and fresh
ness theio lovely dresses representing
every tint <?f the rainbow as it spans theiu
sunny skies. On Tuesday evening Miss
Emma Villepigue was an agreeable host
ess' at a dance, perhaps the largest ot
the dances given yet in honor of the
class. Miss LUa Briggs^-of Clarendon
who is a "guest of the hostess was an
honor guest of the occasion. The room*
were thrown en suit? and dancing held
sway for the entire evening Refresh
ing punch was served' to the thirsty
dance devotees.
FRIDAY JUNE 13TH ? >
CLASS NIGHT *
A packed house gp?<cted the eleven
graduates on Friday night ? nine fair
young girls and two manly boys who
had stood by the colors and reached
the goal and received the reward ? a
diploma signed by the Governor of the
State. This diploma gives them twenty
units as a passport to college work. Dr.
Daniels of the Methodist Church made
the invocation. Miss Hannah Lazarus,
second honor graduate in a very pleas
ing nrianner delivered the salutatory. Miss
Rebekah DeLoache gave the (Mass His
tory and told how the sweet peas, .planted
in the Achool garden eleven years ago
had grown little by little until now they
were in full bloom and ready to be taken
from the garden to make room for the
young plant* that would reach maturity
next yecrv The IM^grai^hy by Mfiss
Minna Villepigue. the Alphabet by Miss
Esther Schlosburg. and the Class I'oem
by M isx Wilbur McCaHum each receiv
ed due appreciation and applause. Many
enjoyed a hearty laugh over the Class
Jokes by James Clyburn.
Perhaps no address on a like ocoa
sion has so pleased a Camdeil audience
and won the unlimited rounds of ap
plause as did the one delivered on Fri
day night by Dr. Daniels of Clemson
College. His subject "The Measure of
a Man" was not only a splendid literary
discourse filled with good advice to the
young people but was also teeming with
wit and humor that pleased and delight
ed the entire audience. As a- reward
for that fine address we promise to in
vite him again to "Beautiful Camden" ?
this time Camden was not "satisfied" j
and this time his address was neither!
"mtnthioff" nor "ronslng". Miag Christine
Jones in a sweet, girlish manner de
livered the Valedictory and modestly j
aocepted the highest honors of the clasa. ,
The benediction was pronounced by Rev.
M. M. Benson of the Baptist Church,
and a successful year for the Camden
High School closed. We trust that ea-h
tenth grade pupil will go fonrard and
strive to reach the foal in 1920, for'
education is an ornament in prosperity
and a refuge in adversity. In addition j
to the class exercises medals were wani
by Miss Katherine Harrison. Isadora
Mogule#cu and Gatewood Workman.
Tomorrow at the Majestic, Margarita
Fisher in "Fsir Enottgh", also a new
episode of "The Tiger's Trair.

\ SUMMER
SHOWER
On Wednesday afternoon from 0 to
7 :.'{(> o'clock a bunch of fleecy clouds
hung heavily over the Cinulen hospital
and resulted in a cloud-bunt over that
institution. These clouds held within
their snowy billows quantities of dainty
linen and choice piece* of cut glass,
silver, china and many other useful ar
ticles to make tables and trays attrac
tive and tempting for the patients who
if they have to be sick are indeed for
tunate in having such a haven of rest
and comfort, beauty" and cleanliness as
the Camden hospital affords.^ It was
a most delightful informal' social occa
sion. ' The guests were welcomed by
the President of 'the auxiliary, Mrs. Win.
Shannon, the Superintendent, Miss Iiob
hins, and the matron Miss Mayers. Aa
the afternoon was hot, iced punch and
cradkers were passed to the arriviug
guests by the pretty young under- grad
uates who Vyore white frocks with pink
ribbons. Later, iced frca and sandwiches
were served. The guests were shown'
through the hospital and were charmed
with its completeness, conveniences, and
cleanliness. Thursday morning is to be
known as "sewing day" at the hospital
and Miss ltobbins Invites all ladies to
Jtfltf "ttnV sewrng class. Those who have
had experience in Hod Cross work are
