Woman Talk
By EMILYCOSTELLO
'A delightful afternoon tea at Mrs., H. Bucck's Saturday ai
forded the most delicious delicacies to eat, alonj with virv pkasart
company.
And Mrs. Bueck, in addition to being the perfect hostess, en-:
tertained most graphically with a play by play description of the
bull fight which she and her school superintendent husband wit
neessed on their Mexico trip. (That same description. I understand
held the 6th grade simply spellbound.)
Guests at the tea included Mrs. W. II. McKeever who is m>
Sunday School teacher; pretty little Mrs. Frank Brown, the Pres
byterian minister's wife; Dot Mason (Mrs. L. L. Jr.). the mayor's
other half; Mrs. Cecil Burgess, new neighbor of the Buecks (the
Burgesses lived in the same apartmnt we do now, before purchas
ing their home on Dillard St.); Mrs. H. D. Nix. Dot's mother, from
Asheville: and Mrs. Tom Mauney, the friend of a mutual friend
in Greenville.
It was at the tea that I learned i
from ROSALIND BURGESS and
DOT MASON that I am on a PTA
committee. I find that quite re
markable since I am neither par
ent nor teacher, but am delighted
to help make the gym spooky for
the Friday night's big Halloween
party.
I dont know how long it's been
since I've boon to a Halloween
party, but I'm just the witch who
can enjoy one now.
Bo ih parents and children are
Invited, and if you can afford the
admission price?which is sky
high, believe me?five cents fo'
children and 10 cents for adults?
then, I'll see you at the gym.

WONDERFUL ROLLS?

Garden Time
By ROBERT SCHMIDT
The next two or three months is
the best time to plant deciduous
trees of ell kinds. That gives them
a chance to get well settled by the
time the spring growing season ar
rives and they are more likely to
survive than if planted later.
In selecting trees to plant in the
farm yard or even on the front
!anm we should keep the pecan
in mind. In addition to the crop of
nuts produced the pecan is a beau
?ful tr?3 and is as valuable for
?'\cde as any of our decidvo'is
trees. It is net necessary to plant
"ore than one tree in order to j
r * a crap cf nuts although a bet-!
ter crop may result if more than
one tree or more than one variety
ere plarVed somewhere near-by.
For Eastern North Carolina ve i
recommend the Stuart, Cape Fear, '
and Blake varieties. The Mahan
variety is popular because of the,
large size of the nu's. but is not as,
resistant to disease. For the Pied- j
mont the Stuart variety is prob- j
ably most reliable and In thej
mountains only northern varieties
such as Indiana or Green River |
should be planted.
In buying trees there is no ad-;
vantage In getting the largest j
trees. A five to six foot tree is a
desirable size and will not cost as
much as a larger one. Trees
should be set slightly deeper than

THINGS WORTH LEARNING '
Learn to attend to your own
business. That Is probably more
than you can do well.
Learn never to meddle. Meddl
ers often get hurt but never paid.
Learn to speak briefly. Let oth
ers do most at the talking.
