OFF THE RECORD
By Eunice Hendryx
'T'HE first romance in our fami-
ly began when our new neigh
bors, the Lanes, moved in. While
other women peeped from behind
lace curtains and speculated on the
financial status of the family,
Mother prepared a good dinner
and invited the newcomers. She
suggested that we three girls try
to be little ^Isie Dinsmores in
stead of the Wiggs children we
had been impersonating. And we
did behave, for we were awed by
Mrs. Lane’s younger sister,
Maizie.
Maizie was a fairytale princess
—wavy golden hair, eyes like
violets and a peaches—and—cream
complexion.
Our older brother Frank, who
had never seemed interested in
girls, except that he did save pic
tures of shapely actresses—Anna
Held, Lillian Russell and others
less noted—pasted Inside the top
Ud of his trunk and which we
weren’t supposed to know they
were there, fell for Maizie from
the start
Maizie certainly took a shine
to him, especially when she found
he owned an interest in our only
vaudeville theater. The romance
was lovely while it lasted. Maizie
rode with Frank every afternoon
In his new stanhope and sat
through the same acts at the Bijou
every night in the week. In the
Spring, however, she found it more
pleasant to ride, presumably
alone, during the evening. Then, one
night Frank found his horse tied
to the hitching post in front of the
theater and a note pinned to the
seat cushion. Maizie had gone
away with a Texas Ranger.
In a way. Mother was greatly
relieved, for we had learned a lot
about Maizie. But Frank adored
her and Mother was afraid he
might do something rash. She
worried about his carrying a re
volver. At first she had thought it
a wise thing to do since he came
home late at night with the box
office receipts. Now she was sure
that anyone with Frank’s disposi
tion shouldn’t even own a gun.
My sisters and I were too
thrilled with our newest posses
sion to worry about Frank’s brok
en heart. He had brought us a
wonderful gift — the phonograph
used to attract patrons to the
Bijou. It was a smallish machine
with cylinder records and a beau
tiful morning glory horn from
whence issued the dialogs and
duets of Ada Jones and Lem
Spencer, comedy songs by Billy
Murray, of-and the heart-rending
ballads of Henry Burr.
Mother bore with the phono
graph stoically until the signifi
cance of one song occurred to her.
She asked us not to play it when
Frank was home. Immediately the
song had a great fascination. We
played it guardedly and giggled
over Maizie being the lemon in
stead of the peach in the Garden
of Love.
One day a little visitor chose
a record and slid it on the ma
chine. The music had scarcely
started when we all exclaimed:
‘‘You can’t play that!”
‘‘Frank is upstairs,” I explained.
“He will think they are singing
about him and Maizie.”
Mother came hurrying in. "Take
that record off,” she scolded.
“Didn’t I tell you girls..”
A loud report from the room
above broke off her speech. “Was
that a shot?” she asked in a
quavering voice. She stumbled
over her long skirts as she hur
ried up the stairs. We followed.
Mother pushed open Frank’s
door. He knelt in front of his
trunk, his back toward us. Bits
of pictures liHered the floor—all
the gorgeous creatures that had
adorned the lid of his trunk. In
each hand he held half of a large
photograph of Maizie.
“Noise? Oh, I guess it was the
trunk lid. Maybe I did bang it.
You kids clean up this mess,’’
he told us with a wry smile, and
you can play that lemon-in-the
garden-of-love thing from now tiL
doom’s day.”

ters to His Wife.” These are the
letters written by Dr. Spencer
Glasgow Welch to his young wife
while on the battlefield or in
camp. Dr. Douglas Freeman quotes
freely from this treasury of let
ters, in his “Lee, The American,”
Mrs. Wright also served as editor
of the U. D. C. Department of
the “Confederate Veteran”, and
she did outstanding work for the
“Confederate Bulletin”, the Veter
an’s successor.
Her service as Cnairman of the
Education Committee of the U. D.
C. resulted in thousands of gifts,
or loan scholarships aiding wor-
tny southern boys and girls to re-'
ceive educations through funds
contributed by the United Daugh
ters of the Confederacy.
While serving in so many capa
cities for the United Daughters of
the Confederacy, Mrs. Wright has
found time to affiliate with other
organizations. She is active in
the Jasper Chapter, D. A. R., of
which she is a charter member.
She is a charter member of the
Newberry ~ Woman’s Club; and
Newberry’s Civic League which
made Newberry well known in th£
state for achievements in civic im
provements.
Because she loved books and
wanted others to have the oppor
tunity to read good books, Mrs.
Wright was instrumental in found
ing the Newberry County Library
association. She watched the lib
rary grow from a few shelves of
books, until now as “Newberry*
Saluda Regional Library” it occu
pies the first floor in the old court
house building, with a graduate
librarian in charge, a branch lib
rary and bookmobile.
First of all Mrs. Wright places
her church, Central Methodist
Church, Newberry, in which she
has served as church trustee and
as a member of the Board of
Stewards. She was honored with
the presentation of a certificate
of “Life Membership” in the
Woman’s Society of Christian
Service of her church.
Mother of Two
* Mrs. Wright has two children,
Mrs. Hunter Brown, Newberry,
and Commander Downs Wright of
the U. S. Naval Air Force. For his
bravery in the service of his coun
try, Commander Wright has been
presented many medals and hon
ors, including that of the Cross of
Military Service, presented by
United Daughters of the Confed
eracy.
Mrs. Wright has a hobby—
vegetable gardening. She puts as
much energy into growing peas
and tomatoes as she does in writ
ing a book, or presiding on the
platform—
“And still they gazed—and still
the wonder grew—
How one small head could car
ry all she knew.”
Or how Eloise Wright’s one pair
of hands and one thinking cap
can accomplish such mountains of
work.
