The Great Friend of children stooped down and leaned toward that cradle and took the precious flower-like jewel in His arms, and walked away with it into the bower of eternal summer. There are not many homes in our community where death has not.left his foot prints and taken some of our sweetest flowers. To the bereaved parents the community extends its sympathy and we hope that what seems to them irrevocable loss, they will know to her, is unspeakable gain. A beautiful flower has been transplanted from this world to the garden of God to bloom in eternal beauty and safe with God who <loes not willingly afflict the children of men.

After the spending a long while roll call and reading of the minutes Mrs. Stallworth was asked to take charge. Mrs. Stallworth outlined the pro gram for 1934-’35. Topic for the afternoon lesson: “Care and Stor age of Clothing.’’ The proper care of clothing is very important. Every well-groomed woman real izes that no matter how attractive and carefully selected her clothes are she will never look well-dressed unless her clothes are given the proper care. Mothers realize that clothing has a great influence upon character building because a child or even a grown-up who is care less about his appearance is often in North Carolina with her son, Jim Ken nedy. The pleasure of the day was added to by the old-fashioned fid dling—six taking part. Under a beautiful oak a table was built and laden down with all the good things of an old-fashioned and. modem picnic dinner. A love ly white cake frosted in dainty white roses—one for each of the passing years—a number of gifts, and many gorgeous flowers made the table complete. After blessing was said, Virginia Watson read the birthday toast which was written by Miss Sadie Leslie, and all joined in singing “Happy Birthday.’’ Those enjoying this happy oc- careless in other things.

In March, 1905, he was married to Miss Beula Duhnaway of Lincolnton, Ga., and she with three children survive, and Charles mand for positions. It is economi cal to mend rips, tears, holes, but tons or dams as soon as they ap pear. “A stitch in time saves nine.” Go through your wardrobe every season to determine what changes need to be made and what old garments can be utilized before making new purchases. Always clean and repair clothing before storing. Dry cleaning and thorough pressing destroy moths and eggs. If each member of the family will have a place for everything and keep everything in its place it will prove both satisfactory and econo mical. The person who knows that her own clothing is in order and ready for wear is mistress of the emergencies of life. Home prac tices: (1) make one or more ar ticles for protection of clothing.. (2) Rearrange storage space ac cording to directions given. (3) Provide convenient storage space for the smaller children in the home.
