Everybody (but me) was dressed t kill The men.were attired in 'Everything from full evenln' to Jtm" ingers and I felt very, very odd in mv hlue serge ($14) and tanned shocs' ($1.88). but her old man had his paid-foor clothes too, so I talked to him most of the time. He appeared right glad to get Sadie Lou off his hands. (We compared dots and debts, ai>d we seemed to be m about the same flk.) The ladies had more stuff on them in the way of glad' rags, jewelry, perfume, rouge, lip-redness, slippers, and silk hose (I reckon) than husbands and daddies will get paid for in 3 years. But, believe me, Rachael, they looked like Income tax to me, Women were never so beautiful as they a<re now.. and all of 'em (the pretty ones) don't live in town either. Z + The boy that this fine girl had lasted seemed to think that she had done a miracle in contacting him. He thought so well of himself tjiat verv few of those present were coiy sidered present at all. . He leaned bhok on his collar and made it a point to scratch his nose occasionally so\ the folks could see the big diamond (1 reckon) ring on his finger. It didn't look very Woolworth-y, so he possibly had a right to do that kind of stuff. Her daddy gave her away and her mother sniffed a little sniff or two to show her sorrow (I reckon) at losing her daughter, but some folks think she hasn't lost her yet.... a* they will make their home with "them" after the honeymoon.. ..till business opens up and James Ellsworth Wigginefield with the iStand-Oil at a filling station, (I reckon). _ A salad course was served after the ceremony. 1 got a cracker and a leaf of lettuce and some kind of ye low stuff sprayed on it. They also served tea (I reck/on) in a cup that was so tiny it~could be used for a thimble if some dents could be made in it.

For Continuous Gardens Clemson College, May 28.?Plan-ting, transplanting and protection are three essentials for continuous gardens, with no complete let-up at any time, according to A. E. Schilletter, extension horticulturist, who makes suggestipns on these three points. Such vegetables as corn, bunch beans and pole beans should be planted successively as long as there is time left for maturity, he says, suggesting that we -remember the need of 42 to 56 days for snap beans to mature, 56 to 70 days for corn, 110 to 140 days for~cabhage,115 to 140 days for tomatoes, 49 to 63 days for beets. Plantings of tomatoes, cabbage and collards made now will serve for late summer, fall and winter crops. The transplanting of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants and sweet potatoes is suggested for prompt, attention if this has not already been done. . In the m(atter of protection Mr. Schilletter warns that gardeners must watch constantly for insects and diseases. He suggests that the striped cucumber -beetle be fought with a spray of six level teaspoonfuls of lead arsenate in a gallon of water or B6rdeaux mixture, or with dust made of one part of calcium arsenate and 1 20 parts of dusting gypsum or hydrated lime. Against-the tomato fruit worm he suggests spraying with the same lead arsenate or arsenate Bordeaux mixture, or dusting with one part of calcium arsenate and six parts of hydrated lime. Tomato leaf spot and potato blight may be fought with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux spray.
