Mrs. Austin Scott, of Athens, Ga., a recent bride, was honor guest at a shower luncheon, given by Mrs. J. Frank Browne, Mrs. George W. Harmon, and Mrs. P. W. Smith, Thursday, August 19, at the home of Mrs. Harmon. Lovely arrangements of sum mer flowers were used in the liv ing room, the den, the sun. parlor and the dining room which were thrown ensuite. The three course luncheon was served buffet. Places were laid for thirty-two at card tables. The bride’s place was marked with a planter of green, tied with a white satin bow. M Y WIFE has a theory ibout giving gifts. She says you should always give something that you know the recipient would like to have, but would never own un less someone presented it to them as a gift. I must say that I agree whole heartedly with this idea. Yet I must raise a strong point of objection. Just how does one go about the matter of deciding what the object is that another person is anxious to have, yet wouldn’t spend money to get? Within the past few months, hav ing observed Father’s Day. a birth day and a wedding anniversary. I have been greatly enlightened to discover that I once had secret ambitions to own (1) a portable out door grill; (2) a set of lawn chairs; and (3) a pair of bright blue walk ing shorts. * Now I am confused. Would 1 have longed for a portable grill had I known that there would be a fami ly rule that no one else in the fami ly would cook on it? Did I realize how much trouble lawn chairs really are? One must lug them in and out of the garage twice a day to protect them from the weather and as often as four times a day should it cloud up and look like rain. And walking shorts? In Florida, California, New York City or Chi cago, maybe, but not in the old home town. Take one step out of the backyard with those knees showing, mister, I just dare you! Taking everything into consid eration, however, I guess the little woman is rather smart. Cooking outside the way I do three or four nights a week would get awful bor ing if I couldn’t wear shorts to keep cool. After lunch the honor guest was asked to open a large green and white box, which was placed on the stair landirg. Inside were gifts which Mrs. Scott opened and dis played. Each guest had brought her fav orite recipe. These were collected and put in a gift recipe book. Each guest also gave advice to the 'bride These, too, were given to the honor guest.

ELEAZER For the past two weeks we have been talking about what corn meant to us as a food in the Dutch Fork in my day. Important it was as a direct food, as meal, grits, and hominy. It was also the power for the farm. We figured we needed 100 bushels for each head of work stock a year. The critter ate perhaps two- thirds of that and the rats the balance. All corn was shucked as needed. The very choicest went in a bar rel for milling. The avergae ears went in a pile for the work stock. While working, we gave ! each mule or horse 10 good ears twice a day. When not working, 5 to 6 ears at night and pasturage. The damaged ears and small faulty nubbins went into another pile for the hogs and chickens. We’d shell a few of those each afternoon for the barnyard chick ens. Not • enough to make them fat and lazy, but enough to keep ’em alive if they hadn’t caught any grasshoppers, worms, or bugs that day. About a half dozen grains to the chicken it amounted to. But those fastest afoot got more than their share. Then we’d take a small split basket of nubbins down to the hogpen and feed them. It was covered over, so the chickens couldn’t get in there and steal any of the hogs’ corn. And that was the surest way we knew to start hogs to catching chickens, to let them eat together. So we guarded against it. The hogs came in that pen through a small door that was kept closed to the chick ens by an old sack hanging over it. I remember oncp, I think it was 1911, a great drought took the corn crop in the Fork. We had to order “Western corn”. Jt came and was so moist it wouldn’t rat tle like ours. Nor would it grind right. It just gummed up rather than cracked apart, as corn should tor good meal and grits. We were afraid it would mold in the sacks. So \fre emptied it out and stirred it each day. We had never seen corn like that and thought it was just another Yankee trick to mak^ It weigh heavy, ater I heard abottt frosted corn that is so feared by the Corn Belt farmer. * Master Don Werts of Saluda spent Saturday night and.
