Woman Talk
By EMILY COSTELLO
In spite of the wet weather this week, I'm as dry as a bone fo'
news. Maybe you know something I don't but oughta.
Anyhow my gems of info this week consist of: a circle Christ
mas party, some former residents returning to Murphy, and a
little boy's lost kitten.
Well, here goes with that.
Mrs. J. W . I hompson Jr., the mother of a "broken-hearted"
10 year old son. Bill, wrote about Bill's little lost gray and black
striped kitten with a bad eye.
It all started Thanksgiving,
when Bill and his family went to
visit MRS. J. W. THOMPSON SR
for the holidays and took the kitty
along. Now, Bill reasoned that
his little two-year old brother did
handle the kitten too much, so
he decided to let his grandmother
keep it until Chirstmas for the eye
to heal.
Bui. Kitty had other ideas, and
left grandmother's the night after
Bill left. Naturally Bill thinks the
kitty tried to follow him home, so
there we are. If you know the
whereabouts of Little Gray Kitty,
please let Mrs. Thompson know.
CHRISTMAS IS COMING
The town's Christmas parties
have gotten off to an early and
gay start, with several church par
ties leading out.
The Ruth Bagwell Circle of the
Baptist Church had a fine supper
and gift exchange Monday night.
The long table was lighted by
candles in nesfs of holly, and the
rn!y other lighting in the room
was from a cheerful little silver
Christmas tree with blue lights.
Christmas trees with blue lights.
In the gift exchange I got a
darling pin from ANNA MAE
JONES. But the most excited over
her gift was FIDDLE AMMONS
with her rose under water which
RUTH ENGLISH gave.
Guests were Ruth and Everett
English, Don and Jane Ramsey,
Juanita and J. B Hall, Carrie and
Kenneth Davis. Lona and Boyd
Davis, Anna Mae and Verlin
Jones. Grace and Marvin Hamp
ton. Thelma and Jack Crawford,
Doris and Milus Wright, Idell and
Vernon Rastkin. Eloise Davis, Eth
el and Willie Williams and Fiddle
and John Ammons.
Xnd speaking of Christmas, the
attractive silvered driftwood trees
in Candler's make mighty pretty
and artistic props. It rives me an
idea for* decorations at home?but
on a smaller scale, of cpurse.
HOME AGAIN
FRED AND- SYBIL ROBERTS
have come back to Murphy to live,
much to the delight of their
friends here. They have been liv
ing in Macon, Ga. Now, they've
parked their attractive trailer
home in East Murphy, and are
once more "at home".
Sybil, you know, is the daugh
ter of MR. AND MRS. FRANK
HEMBREE at Liberty and Fred's
parents are MR. AND MRS. PAUL
ROBERTS, now of Aiken, S. C.
BEST DRESSED
LIZ GRAY is about the best
dresser I ever saw. And she's got
such a cute little figure to dress.
This observation comes from see
ing her many times, and never in
the same frock twice. She was
wearing that very attractive tur
quoise topper with jewel buttons
Monday 'round at the luncheon at
the Henry House.
And on the clothes line, "what
are you wearing to the Junior Wo
man's Club dinner?" is the stand
ing jiuestion among the member
set.
The annual Christmas dinner
will be* Dec. 18 at Duke's Lodge,
and am I looking forward to It!
Dress is optional?no that's not
right because you have to dress
some way or other?but the way it
looks now about half the group
will be in long frocks and the rest
in street-length dresses.
I was a Lions Club widow Tues
day niqht and ran into two Lodge
widows. YVONNE SIMMONS and
her mother, MRS. SAM DAVID
SON, dining out at The Cherokee.
