FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1939 Society and CLUB NOTES THE NEWBERRY SUN The juice of one lemon in a cup of hot water taken every morning be fore breakfast is a splendid toner-up per—unless of course you happen to be allergic to c-trus fruits. In that event, try a cup of plain hot water. PAGE FIVE CHIT CHAT . JaxCONnfcNfE ABMFIPLfi It’s simply uncanny—this Septem ber weather. For a few days the ther mometer soars four or five points over the century mark. The follow ing days finds the mercury dropping way below 100. What’s it all about? Shall I wear my voile tomorrow or will I need a sweater or coat * It seems the weather man is up to his tricks again. But at this writing the weather is deliciously cool and the feeling is widespread that fall is here again. Already we’re looking for leaves to turn and thinking it will soon be time to make that autumn trip to the mountains. But you just can’t plan ahead of time. And pel - haps you had better keep the oil swim suit out a few days. There js likely to be weather for at least a couple more dips in the country club pool. Dancing Feet Mrs. Richard Baker who has so sucessfully taught dancing to large numbers of boys and girls of the city in the past nine years, has turned over her studio this session to Mr. and Mrs. Lanneau Foster, directors of the Foster School of Dance, from Columbia. The Fosters, who manage six branch studios, study each sum mer under some of the world’s great- et dancing artists. Their talent and skill will mean a great deal to the students studying under them. Class es are held each Monday and Thurs day afternoon at the Baker dance studio. Those desiring to take danc ing who did not register at the open ing last Friday may do so on either class day. We hear that the Fosters plan a gala recital at the end of their year. Even though turning over her studio to the Columbia instructors, Mrs. Baker plans to conduct a four- months ballroom-dancing class begin ning the first of October. This class which is more or less a Friday nig'ht social gathering for members of the younger set has proved very popular in the past. Mrs. Baker is a compe tent ballroom-dancing teacher, hav ing studied for several years under the most-famed ballroom-dancing teacher in the U. S., Evelyn Hubbell, onetime co-worker with Vernon and Irene Castle. By the way of a P. S. you may have noted in a recent issue of Life the three-page article, “Life goes to a Children’s Dancing Class.” Pictures were shown of Evelyn Hub- bell teaching her boys and girls to waltz, fox trot, and tango but no jitterbug. Mrs. Baker will employ methods in her class used by this famous instructor. So dancing, right along with studies, piano, and violin, will step up to take a part of New berry boys and girls’ time this win ter. To Lancaster Party Mrs. E. G. Able attended a bridal party in Lancaster Saturday after noon honoring three brides-elect of that town, Charlotte Porter, Corinne Ellison, and Nell Connors. Of parti cular interest to Newberrians is the forthcoming marriage of Miss Porter to Clarence Ellerbe. Of course you remember Mr. Ellerbe since he made his home here for quite a while. Also attending the Lancaster party was Miss Rachael Kennedy of this city who teaches in the Rock Hill high school.. .Miss Pearl West, Columbia teacher, was at home in the city for the weekend. . .Visiting Mr. and Mrs. William Partridge last weekend were the former’s sister, Miss Bess Part ridge, and Miss Frances Bivens. Chatter Zach Wright, who rates as Dr. Wright now, invariably proves one of the most popular speakers at the col lege openings each year. He was ap plauded into taking a couple of extra bows at the opening last Friday... One of the most attractive and sweet est little kids I’ve ever seen is little Molly Partridge, blond daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Partridge... A walk around the water works grounds ’most any time of the year you will enjoy immensley. The pampas grass is in full bloom just now...We’re glad to hear that the county fair grounds and buildings are being used occasionally instead of just once a year at fair time. Meetings in the interest of farm men and women are sometimes conducted there...Col lege students back gives the town a filling look. It’s nice to see them in our homes, stores, and churches again... Hal Kohn in his speech at the college opening exercises urged the students to make at least one friend each week among the town people. He suggested that such ac tion would not only bring a closer relation between the college and town people but probably result in more invitations to the students for Sun day dinners.. .Newberry high school students are contemplating publishing a school newspaper. The high school is certainly large enough to handle one and should have been doing it before now... Three cheers for the local policemen who are strictly en forcing the parking rules—time limits and inside the white lines The city troop 0 f Girl Scouts are meeting again after summer vacation months with Mrs. J. D. French as captain. The group is sponsored by the Mothers club... New autos ga lore may be seen in the city now. You have to get used to the change in cars each year before you can decide whether the new ones are more at tractive than the model of the year before.. .Newberry county library subscribers will be glad to leam that Miss Lois Fant is back on the job as librarian after a brief absence. She and Mrs. R. G. Smith of Kinards, the other librarian, are both such charm ing people. It’s a pleasure to get books from them...Some unknown donator-to-the-cause recently walked into my office and left a beautiful spider lilly arranged on my desk in a black vase. Upon close inspection you will find this lily a lovely flower, if you aren’t allergic to spiders. MRS. WISEMAN ENTERTAINS ONCE-A-WEEK BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. J. E. Wiseman was hostess to the Once-A-Week Bridge club Friday morning. Invited to play with the members were Mrs. Mc- Hardy Mower, Mrs. E. G. Able, Mrs Richard Baker, and Mrs. W. R. Reid. The high score prize for club mem bers went to Mrs. Baker. Mrs. L. G. Eskridge won the bingo gift. Mrs. Wiseman served salad at the noon hour. <£. DatjpM Author of Sitter Mrry’i Kltckea' Accssories are an important fash ion point for the autumn between- season. Gloves, hats, bags, and shoes in 0 ne of the new fall shades are ef fective as a means to making last season’s suit do double duty, j Fashion forecasts brown as the leading color and never has brown been available in such subtle tones. Ginger browns, plum browns, and Ethiopian browns make your choice wide. Monotones— different tones of the same color used in a costume—will be very smart this fall. One of the secrets of prolonging the life of cut flowers lies in the me thod and time of cuttnig them. First of all the stems should be cut on a slant. This prevents them from rest ing flatly on the bottom of the con tainer. Next, it’s most important that flowers should be cut at the correct stage of development. A good gen eral rule to follow in this is that the single varieties may be cut in tight buds and the double ones cut when they are fully opened. Also, flowers remain fresh longer when placed in opaque containers rather than transparent vases. Asters and chrysanthemums will keep fresh much longer if sugar is adde dto the water. Use four table spoons sugar to each quart of water for the ’mums and one teaspoon su gar to a quart of water for asters. See The New PONTIAC for 1940 Now On Display! If you are planning to take up some annuals for potting indoors watch them closely for signs of in sects and disease. Examine your plants in tubs and garden jars, too, to be sure they are healthy. Proper spraying and dusting now will make them strong and thrifty for winter blooming and growth. It’ not worth while to take up fragile and blighted plants for indoor blooming. CHAMBER DIRECTORS EN DORSE DIRECTORY FOR NEWBERRY It’s gratifying to know that the green tinge on the outside of Valen cia oranges does not mean that the fruit is not fully ripe. Instead, as the fruit reaches full maturity it is characteristic for it to take on a greenish tinge. This is especially true late in the season because the longer the fruit matures the more apt this green tinge is to occur. WANT ADS At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce board of directors Friday, Allston D. Calhoun, Jr., field mana ger of the Baldwin Directory com pany, presented the directory which his company wishes to issue for New berry either in December or January. After hearing Mr. Calhoun, the di rectors discussed the matter in execu tive session and decided to endorse this publication, feeling that at this time there is need for a new directory in Newberry. The directors, although taking no final action, agreed that for a city the size of Newberry, a new direct ory should not be issued more often than every three years.
