of the city this season was the card

cell and Mrs. Edgar Hart at the home
of the latter on Crenshaw street.
The reception room, dining room,
and music room, of the beautiful Hart
home were opened together and gaily
decorated in a color scheme of green

tally cards were green and yellow in
the shape of wedding bells.
After several progressions the host
esses served a two course supper.

trousseau gift by Mrs. Purcell and
Mrs. Hart.
Miss Smith was lovely for he> par
ty in a navy blue crepe frock with
white collar and cuffs. She wore a
navy poke bonnet and had matching
accessories. The honoree’s mother
also had on a navy blue dress with
white accessories and was wearing a
small navy hat with veil.
Attending the party which was the
first in a series to honor Miss Smith
were the following:
Mrs. Kirkgaard of North Carolina,
formerly Miss Edna Johnson, Mrs.
Chas. Haltiwanger of Columbia, form-1
erly Miss Elizabeth McOaughrin, J
Mrs. William Patridge, Mrs. Duncan
Johnson, Jr., Misses Zula Blackwell,

MRS. HARTLEY ENTERTAINS
Mrs. F. G. Hartley was hostess
at a dinner party for the nurses of
the hospital February 21 at her ap
artment on Martin street.
In the center of the table were two
small che.Ty trees, with small hatch
ets marking the guests places.
Those present were Mrs. E. S.
Worts, Mrs. John Bedenbaugh, Mrs.
Ravmond Henderson, Mrs. Rayon Mit

Peeples. Miss Corrine Hendrix and

thusly honored is the Columbia
College Glee Club. These two
choruses will participate in a two
weeks festival of American Music
with groups from every section of
the nation.
Prof. Paul Ensrud, directoj of the
singers, is to be commended for the
way he puts things over once he be
gins them. This is a worthwhile pro
ject for a worthwhile organization, as
those of you who have heard the Sin
gers this year will know. We should
be thankful that the United States
is still able to have such festivals
in music and other fine arts.
The citizens of Newberry—both as
individuals and as groups or clubs,
should do their part in helping raise
the necessary fund to enable the Sin
gers to take this trip. It is interest
ing to note that the present chorus
alone has pledged to raise in cash
about (1600. Why can't we do our
part?
WE ARE GLAD
to hear that two Newberrians in
the Columbia hospital, who was in
Spartanburg hospital, and one in the
Newberry hospital are getting along
nicely. Those two in the Columbia
hospital are Mrs. J. J. Langford and
Mrs. James Leavell. Both underwent
major operations last week, both are
improving nicely ahd expect to be
home soon. Miss Viola Dominick,
who underwent an apendectomy at
Spartanburg General hospital is also
recovering, and returned to New
berry Monday. Mrs. Holland Sligh
has geatly improved after a major
operation at Newberry county hos
pital. All the many friends of these
Newberry citizens will be glad to

FOR THOSE WHO
don't read the sports pages, es
pecially the ladies, for I know not
many ladiies are interested in sports
happenings at the present, I would
like to mention the very nice bou
quets thrown to the good ladies of
the city by Abe Fennell, sports edi
tor of The State. Mr. Feflnell was
present at the football banquet last
Tuesdlay at the Newberry country
club, and in his column write-up men-
toined that there were no _ better
cooks to be found than in Newberry,
and that their macaroni pie and lem
on pie was so delicious that all
thoughts of reducing his “spacious”
waistline were forgotten. Thanks
for the nice compliments, Mr. Fen
nell, and for the very nice write-up
given Newberry citizens in your last
Thursday column.

again been chosen by the Federated
Music Clubs to appear before the

is to be held in California in June. In
1935 the singers appeared before the
convention in Philadelphia. The only
other organization in the state to he
YOU PROBABLY HAVE
heard this one, but I hadn’t and
thought it was amusing. I was
talking with a friend, who had a lit
tle dog with him. I askedi what the
name of the dog was and he answer
ed, “Sooner”. I of course asked where
in the world did he get such a name
for the dog, and he answered, "Well,
he’d Sooner stay indoors than out, so
we just named him Sooner.”
