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.

Swimming-Picnicking
Because of infantile paralysis bans
in the county this summer, little
publicity has been given ,ne Mar
garet Hunter park and pool. But
as the polio situation seems definite
ly better, we make note that the park
is very lovely just at this time for
a picnic, brbecue, weiner roast, or
the like. Just ’most any time suit
able to you is suitable bo the park
management for use of the grounds,
the nice tables, and cooking pit. As
previously, the quarantine on children
under 12 continues, but older ones
desiring swimming instructions may
obtain them, free of charge, any
morning at the pool. The water in
the pool is always fresh. Plan an
outing over there real soon. You’ll
enjoy it immensely,

to the idea... It’s a girl, Barbara
Ann, in the Ralph Griffin family.
She was bom Monday, July 31, at

' Authot of SUt«t Mxry’z Eltckvil
August and dog days—and the
very human urge to lean on our
hoes and read light fiction on a
shady porch, thereby absent-mindedly
or purposely overlooking the fact
that certain plants must have atten
tion now or never and if we want
them in our gardens we must bes-tir
ourselves to do something about it.
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.”
