THE PERFECT WIFE (The Baltimore Sun) In the eyes of the average husband the perfect wife is one who: Gets up fust in the morning:, closes the windows and turns on the heat. Makes sure that breakfast is on time and busies herself pouring cof fee and superintending the service while he rends the newspaper. Spends the morning carefully planning meals for the day and going to the grocery to make a personal selection of meats, fruits, and vege tables. Inspects the house and, when nec essary, calls in- plumbers, carpenters, and electricians. Examines his clothes for suits in need of pressing, for rhirts and col lars to go to the laundry, for missing buttons and holes in socks. Devotes an hour or so to writing letters of thanks or consolation and including him in them. Gets a bit of relaxation and fresh air by taking a brisk walk to the post office to collec', the mail. Puts coal in the furnace, so that the house will be nice and warm when he gets home. Drives to school to bring the child ren home and, if possible, drops in for a call on his parents or other relations. Tidies the living room, arranges her hair, and puts on a becoming dress in anticipation of his return home. Greets him at the door and in quires if he is tired. Retires to the background while he looks over the mail. Makes sure dinner will be on time, listens with rapt attention to anec dotes of his childhood, and spares him the ordeal of hearing of domes tic tragedies. And, at last, when dinner is over, collects the darning and work® in silence on it, looking up now and then to admire him and to congratu late herself upon having him, while he sits engrossed in the day's news. SCOUTING “Say it. over and over again" was “Sister” Willis’ favorite song last Monday so I’ll just say it over again that the Mollohon Girl Scouts held their regular meeting on May 20 at the club house. That is a very pretty song and) it repeats tself for your reporter in every report; the meeting was called to order; the roll and min utes of the last meeting read and approved; scripture was read and we all prayed the Lord’s Prayer. Next Monday night we are looking for ward to a prayer offered by Sara Reeves who was absent Monday night. That being taken care of first in the business meeting was “Poppy Day” Saturday when some in our troop are going to sell poppies for the Disabled Veterans.” Tis a very worthy cause and we would appre ciate all the help you may give. Other business war. brought before the meeting and was taken care of. We had a very short meeting on account of exams in the schools. Don’t forget Margaret McCarty and Mar jorie Martin to hold that patrol meet ing because we want to get that pre sent off as soon as possible. No other patrol meetings this week but the fol- lowing week.

Society and CLUB NOTES By DORIS ARMFIELD Foster Follies The members of Miss Margaret Foster’s class in dancing were pre sented in a recital last Friday night at the Newberry High School audit orium. This was sponsored by the Newberry Hospital Auxiliary. The program began with a welcome by four of the members, Betty Baiker, Dot Ross, Louise Wells, and Dorothy Thornton. Two of the girls were dressed in long dress suits, the other two in dress jackets and short white skirts. This was a song of welcome, and a tap dance. The first scene was “In A Dutch Garden.” In the background was a large windmill turning. In front of the windmill were huge tulips of various colors. From behind these came Kate Rutherford. Mary Sue Hutchinson, and Jacqueline Clarkson, in white and blue Dutch dresses and blue Dutch hats. Next was a “Dutch treat” featuring acrobatics by Doro thy Aull and Angeline Plampin. “An Old Dutch Garden” was sung by Mis® Dorothy Baxter of Columbia. Miss Baxter wore a red flowered chiffon dress with small velvet ribbons down the front to the waistline. In her brown hair she wore a red flower. After this came the dance. “Old Dutch Garden” in which the four girls wore green jumpers trimmed in black, and white blouses. The second seer I was “Goldilocks and the Three Bears.” After a song by Millie Whitten of Columbia, three Goldilocks dressed in yellow trimmed in brown, came to the attractive cot tage of the bears. While they were there, the six bears, dressed in brown costumes and wearing false faces re sembling bears, came home. The scene ended with everybody on friend ty terms. Angeline Plampin, Dot Aull, and Barbara Felker drew many oh’s and ah’® from the crowd with their cos tumes for the Soft Shoe Rhythm dance. They wore white ballet skirts, with red vest jackets trimmed in black, and tiny Httle red and black “pill-box” hats. The last three dances in this scene were the Military Taps, Flag Taps and Baby Taps. The first classical ballet of the ev ening was Spectra de La Rose, which was performed by Eloise Hart as the girl, and Nat Stoudemire as the rose. Miss Hart wore a white flowered dress and a velvet wrap. Mr. Stoude mire was dressed in a pink costume to resemble a rose. “To The Circus" was the scene all the children were waiting for.
