The ’’Vein Of Iron” was pub lished in 1935; Ellen Glasgow died in 1945. She was bom in Richmond, Virginia, on April 22, 1873, the eighth of her parents’ ten children. Her fa ther came from a very strict Presbyterian Scotch-Irish stock that had settled in the Valley of Virginia in 1766. After the homestead was lost in the War between the States, he moved to Richmond, where he was an Iron Works executive. Her mo ther was a perfect flower of the Tidewater, an Episcopalian descendant of one of the old families. From her Ellen inher ited her great sensivitivity and delicate health. She had very little formal schooling on ac count of persistent headaches that plagued her throughout ■jher life. She taught herself to read, and from a very early age devoured not only all of the Waverly novels but also the scholarly and scientific works she found in her father’s study at the manse. She visited her brother in London, and traveled extensively. Ellen Glasgow never married; she felt that she was not means for mother hood.

Soon after that, she embarked on her life’s work. She wrote 19 novels, one volume of poetry and one volume of short stor ies; and over a period of years, she worked on her memoirs which she asked her literary ex ecutors to publish, if they thought best after her death.

In the little town of Ironside,- she combines two mountain villages. She is presenting in this book not only a family chronicle, the fate of a group of characters, but the vital principle of survi val which has enabled races and individuals to withstand the destructive forces of nature and civilization. This is the story of the Finecastles who lived in the old manse which had been built by their forefathers, the Presbyterian ministers who had served there; this is where the younger Finecastle was writing his scholarly books. The real head of the family was Grandmother Finecastle, a fortress of strength not only to her family but to the whole countryside. Of her ten child ren, only two had survived— John, the minister, and her daughter, Maggie, who had never married but took care of the household. The third generation of Fine castles was John’s daughter, Ada, who was a child of ten when the story opened. This is the story of her life. From this tender age through the joys and sorrows shi endured, the book gives a set of five glimpses of short stories of her life. Ellen Glasgow always includ ed at least four characters in her novels: a neutral male, one dashing but weak male, one strong girl, one weak girl who Your New Puppy Getting a new puppy may pre sent a problem that should be thought out before he comes to your home. You must consider where he will sleep. Will he be kept in the home or outdoors? If indoors, you should provide a rectangular wooden box with a hinged door and air holes. Outside, a weather proofed kennel is recommended. Teach him when young to stay quietly in his little “home” and he will develop a lifelong habit of doing so. The dog authorities at the Purina Pet Care Center in St. Louis suggest that the best time to bring home a new pup is in the morning, so he can familiarize himself with his new surround ings before facing a lonesome night. Use care in introducing your new puppy to the family. «Since everyone will want to pet and play with him, the excite ment might be too much for the little fellow. When picking him up, remem ber that his bones are soft and tender. So lift him carefully with one hand under his hindquarters and the other steadying him under the chest. The best advice with new pups is be gentle and move slowly until he has gained the utmost confidence in you and your family. always got her way. Mrs. Wiles spoke of the easy flow of language in her writ ings which make it very pleas ant reading. She was the first novelist to picture the true Southern life, and also the first to take the South out of the South; in fiction, she gave it a touch of the Universal. Ellen Glasgow was a part of the world movement of her time just as her Virginian scene was, in fact, a wider scene—the All-American scene of two generations. Mrs. Elliott thanked Mrs. Wiles for her splendid review of this interesting book. \ ' STATE OF SOUTH CARO LINA.

Cheese: Queen Of Quick Desserts Hospitality is a plentiful platter of cheeses—simple but splen did aftermaths to a holiday meal, or welcome nibblers throughout a party. The gamut of cheese-fruit combinations is great: Any cheese you choose with crisp cold apples, wedges of mellow pear, or plump grapes. But some pair better than others. Generally, fruit goes especially well with blue cheeses, plus soft-ripening, semi-soft, and firm types; berries with creamy cheeses. Dried fruit—dates stuffed with pecans and wal nuts, prqnes, soft-dried apri cots, and figs, either plain or filled with unblanched almonds — are a delight with soft cheeses such as Liederkranz. More specifically, present a Crumbly morsel of Roquefort with a tart apple, a few grapes and a plain Melba round spread with Neufchatel, or, in season, very-sharp Cheddar with gen erous chunks of melon. The Borden Kitchen picks for a party individual triangles of nutty-sweet Gruyere and spicy Roquefort. From a baby Gouda cloaked in crimson, they cut generous wedges. For those who want to dip in but diet too: A rectangle of Neufchatel, white, smooth, and low-caloried. Also in a chunk is the robust-flavored Lieder kranz, russet outside, creamy- yellow inside. The big wedge is Sharp and tangy Wisconsin Cheddar. The hostess in a hurry wel comes all cheeses, instantly ready in package, slices, or jar. All set to snack on—as is or popped on plain ( Melba rounds —are slices of Vera-Sharp and Swiss. The spread in a reusable jar is fixed for guests at the flip , of a lid. Among the most popular are a cheese-bacon spread and Vera-Sharp. Serve on the side pretzel nug gets, potato chips, and other favorites, for a gathering that’", great for guests, bnf ■ the hostes* 1 NOTICE IIJ MEETING OF BOARD OF ADJUSTORS DATE: DECEMBER 16, 1965 TIME: 7:300 P.
