JEAN'S PERSONAL CO LIMN
Dear Jane And Rachel:
By JEAN L RIVERS
February started off with a
hang' Ua the {ukt ?w ware la
vitad to the hone of Dr. and
Mrs. Taylor Adams to meet
their son Lee, a Navy Captain,
who Is en route from California
I to Washington, D. C . where his
' family will establish their home.
Lm's daughter, Punky . . .
whose real name is Clarita, is
: spending the winter with her
grandparents and is a senior at
Appalachian High. She's a doll!
Punky plans to enter the Uni
versity of North Carolina next
fall. She has a sister who is
a sophomore at Duke Univer
sity. We haven't met her yet,
or the two younger children in
the family, but have met Lee's
wife. Dr. Adams is a native
of Missouri and he practiced
I dentistry in Sweet Springs, Mo.,
1 and West Palm Beach. Florida,
before retiring in Boone. We
are mighty happy to have the
Adamaes here.
Earleen Pritchett called Sat
urday night to tell us that she
had seen your cousin Becky
(Rivers) in Raleigh and that
she is getting along fine. Ear
leen went dbwn to see Gov
ernor Sanford on Friday, and
she saw Becky at a meeting of
the Wake County chapter of
Appalachian Alumni Associa
tion Friday night. Featured
speaker for the meeting was
John Corey, who accompanied
Earleen to Raleigh.
Your daddy and I visited in
Blowing Rock Sunday even'ng
with Billie and Council (Cooke)
... the first time we had seen
them in weeks. They loaned us
a copy of Laura Sumner's re
cently published book of Son
nets, which I have thoroughly
enjoyed. The Summers, vou
met them last summer in Blow
ing Rock, Rachel, gave the
Cooks the book for Christmas
and I considered it very valu
able because it is a limited edi
tion and has a registered num
ber.
Monday's mail brought mess
ages from Myrtle Thomas
Smith of Chelan, Washington,
Mrs. Pearl Farthing of Cleve
land, Ohio, Mrs. Virginia Greer
Miller of Baltimore, Maryland
and your aunt Louise (Lewis
Taylor) of Washington, D. C.
!t was to good to hear from all
of them.
On Tuesday night Jewel
(Mast) and I went to see "An
gel Street", Little Theatre's
first production in Boooe, aad
it was exceptionally good. Jo
anne Aidridge turned in a pro
fessional Job of acting, and Bill
Ress and David Culler were
very good, as were other mem
bers of the cast. I hope this
venture succeeds in Boone.
The following night your dad
dy and I were guests of the
Kelleys (Maude and Richard)
at a dinner party they gave for
Dr. and Mrs. Adams and Lee
at the Lenoir Country Club in
Lenoir. Ten congenial people in
such a lovely place . . . with
mounds of delicious food . . .
added up to a most enjoyable
evening.
In addition to the above men
tioned activities. I managed to
I enjoy a table of bridge on Wed
nesday, Thursday and Saturday
afternoons, and am just now
finishing a wrap-around skirt
for you, Rachel. Will try to fin
ish this afternoon and get it in
the mail.
Forgot to tell you that Dot
(Tugman) sent us a delicious
congealed salad last Monday. We
enjoyed it so much and appre
ciate her thoughtfulness
Love,
Mom.
Fashion News
Wasp waists are coming back
in so we are told by news from
j Paris. And there will definitely
| be hips.
Some of the shops are fea
turing long dresses for home
entertaining but the short dress
is still favored for informal
party wear.
Young girls are wearing their
hair in very simple and becom
ing styles. The odd hair-dos are
for models and very formal
adult affairs.
