Woman Talk
By EMILY COSTELLO
TV owners in Murphy were mighty generous with their sets
Tuesday for the inauguration, and I think most Everybody in town
enjoyed the inaugural via television.
We enjoyed a TV luncheon round at Edith and Roy Fuller's
(though Roy wasn't able to be there). Others there were Mr. and
Mrs. Delbert Byrum, Ruth Cheney and daughter, Judy Nichols
and Mrs. H. Bueck, and later on Mr. Bueck for a minute and Bob
Cheney
It was lots of fun to discuss the
private affairs of the new first
family?who will no longer have
any secrets?with Mrs. Bueck ,who
could tell such revealing facts as
that MAMIE EISENHOWER took
50 hats on the pre-election tours,
and that Mamie's bangs are sweep
ing the country to the extent that
artificial bangs, just like Mamie's,
are already being made.
I didn't see any of the views
from the inaugural balls,* but
would have enjoyed seeing Mamie
and PAT NIXON in their frocks.
From a newspaper picture Ma
mie's pink chiffon gown, decorated
with 3,000 rhinestones and design
ed by Nettie Rosenstein looked
dazzling, however.
JUDY NICHOLS, an admirer of
the pretty new vice-president's
wife, (Mrs. Nixon, said the hitter
was to wear an aquamarine ball
gown fitted to just below the
knees and then flaring out into
a full skirt.
Edith served sandwiches, hors
d'oevres, coffee, ice cream and
cake and some perfectly delici
ous Moravian cookies contributed
by Mrs. Byrura.
MARY WINTERS (Mrs. Rhett
Y.) viewed the inaugural at the
BRYAN WHITFIELDS where a
family group was gathered.
And, I uncterstand ADIR ARON
SON was host to a group of school
friends at her home for the TV
coverage of the inauguration.
THE 7TH GRADERS
JUANIT^ WEAVER (Mrs. Rob
ert* flung open her doors to the
7th grade girls in Miss Addie Lea
ther-wood's room and Miriam
Moorei Mrs. Cloe) was hostess to
the boys of the same class.
In spite of the fact that the
children had already had lunch,
Juanita and Miriam, knowing the
way of children, served gladly re
ceived refreshments.
Mrs. Goodwin's seventh grade
was invited to the home of their
grade mother, MRS. J. ALTON
MORRIS to watch the inaugura
tion. Mrs. Morris served refresh
ments to the children.
MABLE MASSEY had seven
fifth graders from Mrs. DeCal
ongne's room, to Join her and
SHUG MERONEY, KATE MAUN
EY, and later, Mrs. Don Wither
spoon.
FANNIE McGUIRE and BON
NIE KIMSEY (Mrs. Leon) went
to the home of the latter to hear
and see the Inauguration and en
joyed lunch around the TV set.
BESSIE MAE ELK INS (Mrs.
Harve) and MRS. S. J. GERNERT
and MRS. DON WITHERSPOON
ran to the home of the former for
a quick snack and part of the
inaugural festivities.
By the way, Bessie Mae talked
to me on the phone yesterday just
before leaving for Raleigh where
she and Harve are attending a pre
view showing of GE Appliances
for 1953.
Last week the Elkins were in
Atlanta for the gift show.
Accompanying the Elkins to Ra
leigh, was* Mrs. Don Witherspoon
who went to visit her sister.
ELIZABETH GRAY and MRS.
W. H. McKEEVER watched the
inaugural at OPIE AND HOBIE
McKEEVERS' and a family gath
ering was at H. A. AND ROSE
MOND MATTOXES.
"FINE TIGERS"
But the big doings at the Mat-'
tox home came In the evening
when six 9, or about 9, year old
ladles and gentlemen were enter
tained at dinner (pardon me!, but
we're going formal).
> The occasion for the dinner
party was the ninth birthday of
host PHIL MATTOX. Valentine
favors were given the young
guests who were (rocked out in
their Sunday best and had the
dining room to themselves.
Rosemond overheard from her
place in the kitchen when Phil
bragging on his own party. "Isn't
this the nicest birthday party?"
Following dinner the guests
went to the movies. The six were
the honored guest, BECKY HOO
VER, VIRGINIA WELLS, ELIZA
BETH GIBBS, SAMMY DUNCAN,
AND JIMiMY GIBBS.
WONDERFUL EVENING
I don't know whether it was the
delicious meal, the company, the
beautiful new home or the pretty
colored slides that made the even
ing at ED AND VIRGINIA
HYDE'S last Thursday so pleas
urable. But I think it was a com
bination of all.
Anyway the Hyde's pretty rock
house up there on the hill is a
beauty to see?and roomy, too. 1
especially liked Ed's wormy chest
nut study on the second floor,
with built in bookcases galore, a
pretty glassed gun case and an up
stairs porch branching off. It's not
completely furnished yet, but you
can bet that it will be a wonder
ful retreat.
Other folks at the dinner party
were MARTHA NELL THUSS
(MRS. JOHN), MARTHA LEE
(MRS. DALE), DOT AND L. L.
MASON, AVIS AND BILL (DR.)
HOOVER AND FRANCES AND
JOE RAY.
By the way, AVIS HOOVER,
(Mrs. Bill) Is a patient at the hos
pital having undergone an oper
ation Wednesday, She's getting
along nicely and will probably be
in Petrie for about five days.
BRIDE AND GROOM
Remember that pretty but peri
louse snowy Sunday, Jan. 4? I do,
mighty well, ? and was glad we
didn't have any driving to do.
Well, two cute folks I know of
had planned to drive to Blairs
ville, and come snow or high water
they were bent on driving to
Bladrsrville, but I only found out
this week how come.
Pretty little ROSALIND STAL
CUP and fiance DON HAWK
won't soon forget their wedding
day and the snow.
But they are two of the happiest
young folks on earth at this min
ute. Don, whose home in Andrews,
has returned to Norfolk, Vs.,
where he is stationed with the
Navy and Rosalind is still in Mur
phy finishing her high school stud
ies. She will graduate in June.
I don't know Don, but I hear
he's a prince of a fellow?and that
was told me by his new mother-in
law, Pauline Stalcup
STACK PIE AND
LEATHER BRITCHES
My indoctrination to Cherokee
County included last week a short
visit in Marble with FORREST
ABERNATHY and his attractive
wife.
And the learning of two new
foods, "stack pi?"?I ate some of]
?
Mrs. Jimmy Kephart's?and "lea'
ther britches", which I haven't
sampled yet, and am not sure I
want to.
HOPE TO BE THERE
I hope we.can go to the party at
I the Folk School Saturday night
.where an evening of directed folk
games has been planned for any
body who wants to attend. It'll
cost you only 50 cents (adults) or
25 cents (children) and proceeds
will go to the March of Dimes.
LYNN GAULT, who is in
charge of the party has some good
plans up his sleeve, and it will cer
tainly be well worth your time to
attend.
