FRIDAY, AUGUST 4, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE Society no CLUB TES CHIT CHAT > j^MFlELD Tearing off another leaf on the calendar, we find August staring us in the face and realize the summer days are flying by. The past month was most unusual -vith its two full moons. Yes, we really had two moons in July—one on the first and the other on the thirty-first. If your memory is a bit dim, consult the calendar and you will find it so. Can you remember the last time such an event occurred? Not recently, any way. Prosperity Society They just keep hapening—engage ments and marriages in other places that we’re interested in. A marriage this month centering social life of Prosperity will be that of Allene Mills and S. C. Brissie. Allene is one of the most attractive and charm ing girls I’ve ever known. Her pa rents are Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mills of Prosperity. She graduated from Lander college and last year taught in the school at Goldville, besides having many private classes in piano. She is really a fine musician and has a lovely soprano voice. She is be ing honored constantly at parties in Prosperity. The groom-to-be served as principal of the Prosperity High school for the past several years. It is understood, however, he will teach at Woodruff this fall. Scurry-Dyer Many Newberrian® read with inter est the account of the wedding of Miss Frances Scurry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Drury Ralph Scurry of Chappells, and Bradbury Dyer, Jr., of Long Island City, N. Y., which took place Sunday, July 24, in Green- wod. The event was a beautiful gar den wedding at the home of the bride’s brother, Dr. C. J. Scurry. Mrs. Dyer’s family is prominent in the Chappells community. She has, for several years, been a member of the faculty of the Parker District schools;' 'The Couple are making their home in Long Island City. Parties Galore Throughout the state hostesses have been entertaining delightfully in honor of Helen Caldwell of this city whose marriage to S. Murray Parnell of Columbia takes place here late in August. Papers from every section of our fair state have been carrying accounts of pre-nuptial events in her honor. Helen has been away from Newberry a good many years and has taught at several places over the state—thus her wide spread popularity. She has shared honors with other brides-elect who have been entertained in the city. From a Charleston paper we learn an elaborate bridge luncheon was given for her at Hemmingway by Mrs. W. T. iiemmingway and Mrs. C. D. Cannon. Two affairs took place one recent Wednesday evening in Greenville, when Mrs. Fred Kendrick received informally at her apartment at 6:30, the guests later going to the Poinsett for a dinner party at which Miss Helen Hanson was hostess. An other affair for the August bride- elect took place when Mrs. Sam A. George enteftained at her beautiful country home between Columbia and Lexington. Intimate friends of Helen in the city are attending these out- of-town parties with her. New Babies You’ve already heard about the new son of the young W. A. Masons, but do you know his name? Little Mr. Mason is named after his father and the name in writing looks some thing like this—William Allen Mason, III. But the general opinion is that he will get “Little Brick.” And more recent among new ba bies is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Darby born last Thursday, July 27, at the county hospital. He has been given the name William Mich ael, but the prourl parents have al ready decided he will be just “Mike” to them. The Mrs. is the former Helen Davis and the father » em ployed at the Ritz Theatre. The Darbys live on Chapman street. Family Get-Togethers It must be a real treat for a large family, with members living in various parts of the United States to get together for a week or so to reminisce. Enjoying a family re union, as well as vacations, with their mother, Mrs. Charles J. Purcell on on Main street recently were Mr. and Mrs. James M. Purcell of Peoria, 111., Mr. and Mrs. Tom F. Cooley of El kin, N. C.; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas J. West of Spartanburg; Joe Purcell, Spartanburg. The visit of the James Purcells here was particularly inter esting, as Newberrians, for the first time, had the chance to meet Mrs. Purcell. Jim, as he was better known here, holds the position of assistant display director of Block and Kuhl Company of Peoria. Dr. and Mrs. J. C. Peery are hav ing a family reunion with all their children at their home on Nance street. They are Dr. and Mrs. Tho mas M. Peery of Washington; the Rev. Jlohn C. Peery and Mrs. Peery and son of India; Miss Elizabeth Peery of John® Hopkins; also their two sons, William and James, stu dents in the city schools. Dr. Peery teaches in George Washington Uni versity, Mr. John Peery and wife are missionaries in India, and Miss Peery, a student nurse at John Hop kins.

Oriental poppies Madonna Lilies, Autumn Crocus and Meadow SaZ- ron, as well as Peonies and Iris, must be transplanted and established in August. The Autumn Crocus will give you color in your garden late in Septem ber and on into October. They are a lovely lavender color but sturdy and strong. Plant them in sandy soil so that they will have good drainage and they will bloom au tumn after autumn to repay you for working in the August sun. Oriental Poppies like a perfectly drained spot, too. If water stands on the crown of the plant through out the winter there is grave danger of rotting it. Sandy soil mounded up aroi nd the plant so the water will drain away from it insures suc cessful wintering for Oriental Pop pies. Molded salads and desserts are so popular for summer meals that I like to serve them often. They are most appetizing and at .the same time one of the easiest dishes to pre pare and serve, and here’s a tip for their perfect unmolding. Submerge the mold for not more that ten sec onds in a large pan of lukewarm wa ter. Invert on the serving dish, and the shape slips out neatly. Save laundry in summer by using small Turkish towels for hand and face in your bathroms. They are so very easy to wash and require no ironing. Fold them straight when you run them through the wringer, hang them straight on the line and fold them neatly when you take them off the line, and they are ready to put away. Good quality towels may be purchased in a variety of lovely colors and are color-fast. Each member of the family may have his own favorite color with wash cloth to match. Another summer work saver is effected by storing the silver you won’t be using. First polish well. Then wrap in tamish-preventive- tieated paper or in one of the spe cially lined silver chests. There are bags of transparent cellulose paper made in various sizes that are most convenient for covering large pieces. As the temperature goes up our energy usually goes down, so use all the “savers” on the market that are designed to save energy. FREE RIDES TO CHURCH Besides a sermon, the farm folks of Rev. W. H. Alexander’s First Christian church in Tulsa, Oklahoma, get a free bus ride to and from church. Twelve persons heard his first sermon three years ago. Now there are nearly 500 names on the church roll. “Every Sunday night we send out three buses,” Mr. Alexander says, “and that’s only a starter. My idea is to send out a dozen in all direc tions.” Cettsatiofj JMMILEjffi 'HOME AUTO SUPPLIES .
