FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1939 THE NEWBERRY SUN PAGE FIVE Society and CLUB NOTES CUITCUAT . Armfieu) Writing' in her ho^ne demonstration column Miss Ethel Counts suggests that an open fire, a diverting book, and a bowlful of apples creates a per fect setting for a pleasant evening. Well, we have the wood and the fire is laid, ready to start, a diverting book is on hand, and a big bowl of red and yellow apples, as apples are so good and plentiful now. Appar ently a perfect setting’, but there is one thing wrong. The scene would be most incomplete without a cheery fire, and who ian stand a blaze, even a cheery one, in this hot w’eather. No doubt we are quite ready now to fit in the charming pic ture Miss Counts has painted, but the w’eather just won’t permit. Now if W’e could get in touch with Popeye and contract the use of his wonderful “rainbird” that regulates the wea ther by appointment, if and when he gets to Neutopia, then everything would be fine. We could quickly cre ate some cool crisp climate, strike the match to the fire settle before the devouring element in a comfy i chair, start on the latest Fu Manchu J or Thomas Dixon, and munch on an | apple, red preferred. Ah, perfect contentment and the perfect ending j to a day. O well, it doesn’t hurt to let one’s imagination take wing once in a while! It’s A Son It’s a son in the E. E. Epting fam- j ily, born early Monday morning, Oc- [ tober 9, at the county hospital. And being the first family addition he is, naturally, Elmer Eugene Epting, Jr. ...Mrs. Epting is the former Miss Naomi Ruff, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Holland H. Ruff of the county. Mr. Epting is also of this county and is connected with the lo cal soil conservation office. The Ept- tings reside on College street. To Concert Among Newberrians attending the concert given by the famous singer. James Melton, in Columbia at the Township Auditorium Saturday ev ening were Mrs. P. K. Harmon, Miss Mary B. Kohn, Miss Jeanne John stone, Miss Caroline Cromer, Miss Frances Doughtery, Miss Mary Alice Mitchell, Miss Rosemary Bowers, Mrs. J. N. McCaughrin, Mr. and Mrs. J. D. French, Milton Moore, John Erick son and Gus Houseal. The concert was the first of the pre-festival series. * Sunday Marriage Much interest centers in the mar riage of a popular local couple, Helen Chappell and Lewis Waddell, which takes place Sunday, October 15. The marriage will he a quiet affair with only a few witnesses, taking place at the home of the officiating minister. ...Several lovely parties have been given complimenting Helen. The Wil- lowbrook club house was the scene of a bingo party recently given by Mrs. Ed Beck and Clara and Mary Layton. Members of Helen’s Sunday School class at the West End Bap tist church gave her a shower. An other shower was given by the em ployees of Roses’. Last Friday ev ening Mrs. Robert O’Dell entertained at a lovely party and shower at her O’Neall street home honoring Helen. Entertaining for her this week is Mrs. C. H. Albrecht. Helen is a rather quiet and retiring kind of a person but she is sweet and thoughtful. She has a host of friends in the city. Be lieving that a wife’s place is in the home, Helen resigned her job as cashier at Roses last Saturday and starts housekeeping next week at their apartment in the Kibler house on Chapman street. Lewis is em ployed at the Ritz theatre. To Camden It’s always happening—-an inter esting and likeable couple come to Newberry to make their home and be fore they’ve had a chance to set out a goodly number of milk bottles, they have to pack up, bag and baggage, I case of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Mobley. Mr. Mobley was serving as assistant i county agent under acting agent J. and move to another town. So is the j L. King. When P. B. Ezell returned j to his office as Newberry’ agent after a year’s leave of absence, Mr. King returned to his former position of i assistant agent. As a result of the changes, Mr. Mobley has been trans- j ferred to the county agent’s office in ! Camden. The couple, who have been i residing with Mrs. J. R. Green on ! Harper street, will be leaving, in a j few days. During their short stay ! here (they came to the city October i 3rd of last year) they have made ■ many friends who regret to see them I leave. I Entertains Emery Can you remember the time when rook was all the rage like bridge is now? How I wish they would have stuck to the rook game. I mastered that pretty well, but the complica tions of bridge, even auction, are far beyond me. Guess I just prefer the great out-of-doors to the card table. There’s one organization here, however, that continues to play the good old timey game twice a month —the Emery Circle. Made up of some of Newberry’ most charming la dies, the Circle meets at the homes of various members, but no prizes are awarded to winners. Mrs. J. N. McCaughrin entertained the Circle last Friday morning at her home on Calhoun street. Four tables were ar ranged for the guests, including two from out of town, Mrs. Todd of Lau rens, who is the mother of Miss Har riet Todd, teacher in the High school, and Mrs. Brice Waters of Columbia. At the luncheon hour Mrs. McCaugh rin served a delicious two course meal. Joining the players for the luncheon were Mrs. W. E. Dargan, Mrs. C. A. Calcote, Mrs. O. B. Can non, and Miss Minnie Campbell. Chatter Newberry college plays Presbyter ian college at Clinton tomorrow (Fri day)' evening. It’s the 13th, you know.
