One needs so little to be prepared for unexpected guests—yet this little is so often neg lected! . For a huriied luncheon or tea what could be nicer than salmon or tuna fish served with thick golden mayon naise; potatoes firied slowly in butter or margarine, so they are crisp and brown; assorted picklefe and preserves arranged attractively fn a condiment (dish—and/hot biscuits? These are homely foods, and inexpensive.' But sh and dressing^^pickles and pre- ?rves must be on the shelf-^if they are to come to your rescue, pronto! Since half the charm of hospitality lies in its seeming to be no trouble at all, let's remember these tricks of pre- pardness that help so much when friends “just drop in.” • fir f S Date and Nut Spread. For luncheon or tea, use this spread on slices of buttered white or grahanl bread.- With the-se open sandwiches, serve others of pimento cheese (this may be bought in jars). And cut your bread in fancy shapes, without crusts. One-quarter cup d^tes; 1-4 cup chopped nuts, 4 tablespoons sweet ened cordesejd milk, 2‘teaspoons lemon juice.

The g*own> beneath its illusive folds may be of priceless satin, encrusted with rare old lace. Yet if the veil be unbecoming, or skimpy, or pocdy draped—the lovely picture is lost. Let us look upon the bridal loveli ness of Nancy Carroll—Abie’s Irish Rose—and try to picture her in a veil less suited to her piquant type. Child ishly round; caught with bands ol pearl to form a cap about her merry little face; ample, billowfing, buoffynt, as a piomise of prosperous days to come—the veil of the Rose sounds the keynote of what promises to be a most successful marriage! The bridal gown of the season may be of the slender, draped tyfre with long tj^ght sleeves ar^l a V-neck; it may be of the bouffant type so be coming to tall figures, or possessed of the long w’aist and irregular hemline .that is so popular just now\ It may even l>e of pal tinted fabric, with a tinted veil (an extremely chic in novation.) But whatever the gown, bt^very certain that the veil v is all that it should be. Try the tiara type, the close-fitting cap, the fluted veil/ the soft, envejopling veil—and then be guided not so much by style as by the special charm one design wdll have for—just YOU. Big Attendance at State Short Course Barnwell County Well Represented.— More Interest Shown This Year* Than Ever Before. The Versatile Bridesmaid’s Frock. Aryl after the. wedding? Discard the Bridesmaid’s Frock? Not if one’s choice has been wisely made. Among the dainty printed chiffons—many of them designed by the American artists who are creating such novel motifs— are dozens of patterns that will be just as suitable for future summer oc casions as they are for the Bridal Party. One can Tnvest in wedding finery with no regrets, w’heh the choice is as sensible as this. v For the Dressy Summer Hat. Large droopy hats of hair braid are as becoming as ever,»and a most satis factory investment for \ wear, with chiffon and lace frocks. Tiny cap shaped hats of fine hair braid whose transparency permits a vision of smartly waved hair are popular for summer evening wear. These tw r o ex tremes—with no in-between—^eem to be the forecast for the dressy hat. Easy Way to Preserve Cherries. Fill glass jars with sound, clean cherries; cover with syrup made of one pound of sugar and one quart of water. Close jars; imnurse in boiling water, allowing one inch of w ? ater over tops. Simmer slowly l r . minutes. Re move, let stand !5 rr’.riutes, and set in cool place. Do Your Omelets Fall? One way to be certain of success with omelets is to add a tiny hit of baking powder to the eggs when whip- ~~ping them. Measuring Flour for Cakes. In baking cakes, it makes a differ ence w’hcther fiour is measured before # r after sifting ?cipts carefully, noting directions in this lespect. Newer recipes invaria bly specify the use of prepared cake flour ‘once before measuring, f» , * then/ sift as many additional times as the recipe directs. This makes light er, fluffier cakes. French Lilacs or the Common? 1 J If it w'ere a question of'buying one or two lilacs, a common variety in a bush that was heavy and strong, may be three or four feet tall, and a # French named variety only 18 to 24 inches tall, I would take the latter every time. Now* the above may sound strange to those w’ho do not know’, hut let’s consider the reasons. Ttw lilac is one of the longest lived of all of the ( shrubs we may plant in our gardens So always examine | once it is established it is a sure bloomer every year. • But it is rather slow’ to estblish itself. I have seen •common lilacs that did not bloom till they had been established for five to eight years and if you attempt to move a plant of any size they may sulk on you for several years. On the other hard I have seen French lilacs that w’ere only twm feet high literally cov ered with bloom and they keep right on blooming year after year. The French varieties are as long lived as the common lilacs and they grow just as large, besides they will give you from ten to fifteen times the quanti ty of bloom and the blooms are so About your Health Things You.

If they are you are badly cheated as within a few years the common w r ill choke out out this way and you are the loser. Some dishonest nurserymen and some that do not know any better send them out this way ad you 'are the loser. They many be grafted or budded upon Privit stock and then 1 by planting them deep they w’ill produce t-heir own roots and your plant will always be satisfactory. If your lilacs are on their own roots then every root suck er that comes up around the plant will if (d u P" u P an( l planted, produce just as good a plant fis the original.- Lilace have very few enemies and if you will keep them growing by cultivation and iiiera! watering,'also giving them a good mulch of well- rotted manure in the fall, you wiR have very little trcuble with them. They are especially valuable fofl hedges and for any place you need a fairly dense screen or background. by John Joseph Gaines, M. D i Light and Heat. -r- • In these bright spring and sum mer days, few people stop to think what wonderful values are for us in the warmth and light of the sunrays. Science has it that, possibly Radium makes up a part of the Sun’s luminous body. Were it not for this great solar dynamo, humanity would fade from the earth, like flowers cut from their stems. The value of heat and light is ur. questioned. Various “rays” have been isolated, resulting fiom an analysis.of light in nature. The ultra-violet, an element of sunlight, is concentrated in ap paratus used by the specialist. Per haps the “infra-red” is the most valu able of the Te-produced heat-rays, and it is within reach of the ordinary family. A red-hot iron liberates in fra-red rayis^—valuable in treating all deep, inflammatory conditions. Light heat is more beneficial in most conditions, than dark heat, such as hot-packs, poultices, and hot-water Rock Hill, June 11.— (Special to The People-Sentinel):—There is a re lord-breaking attendance at the State Short Course for rural women and girls, which is. being held at Win- throp College this week.

Light and heat together, set the microscopic particles of tissue in to rapid vibration; this serves— “scattei” violently congested areas; which may be painful to the point of agony. The infra-re^d ray is in my ofifice, used almost daily—and with satisfactory results.' Then—there is a difference in dry heat, as in lamp treatments—and in moist heat, as in hot wet packs ap plied to the body. Light reaches deeper, and with more lasting effects. There is very little even temporary re lief in hot wet packs. But, all these methods are worth study by the fami ly. They afford a means of relief out side of the realm of drugs. The Health Contest was held on Saturday. 31 counties competed; each health- winner. The Mrs. V. P. Bonner, who has been visiting Mis. M. B. Hagood and Mrs. B. L.
