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. Does that mean good or bad
luck?...A minister in a local church
Sunday morning referred to an auto

strument’’... The many friends here

learn she’s back in the city. She is

rents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward L. Pick
ard of Portland, Maine. They will

umbia spent the weekend in the city
with relatives. Mrs. Patrick, who is
connected with the FHA office was
recently transferred from Washington
to Columbia... Mrs. Robley Bruce
has returned to her home at Palatka,
Florida, after a while here visiting
Mrs. J. T. Norris and Mrs. H. L. Parr

old Alma Mater these home-coming
days. Going to Erskine Saturday

(Written for The Sun)
We are enjoying some fine weather.
The weatherman predicts fair skies
and tho’ others predicted frost on the
seventh of this month, we didn’t get
it. We trust there will be no frost
for yet a while so the people can
gather in all crops before it’is cold.
As the president has set Thanksgiv
ing a week earlier, it’s time to be
think ing about turkeys and pump
kins.
