"Sugar and spice and every
thing n‘ce'” a long-coind phrase
adjusted frequently to fit any de
• abie situation, could almost be
applied as a description of the
recent enjoyable occasion of an
.{orget able steak fry—for al&ng
on the journey were the mam in
yredients of that aged phrase.

STEAK FRY
Laden with food, grill, a gallon

uito repellent, and charcoal, a
,roup of ambitious outdoor fun
filters started down the inland
waterway in Jimmy McCarl’s sail
boat. But "started” w lust ^bout

at first; and the water was
smooth and slick as a mirror,
Eut the stillness -was the only
failing of the party, and not to
be outdone just because the wind
merely died away, Harry Wellott
and Jimmie Wells reached for the
paddles. Down towards Money Is
land we traveled, slowly but sure
ly, as once again the water lapped
softly against the sides of the boat
when a teeny bitsy wake was
created by the musclemen, at the
oars; they worked while Jane
Head, Jimmy (who was sailing
the boat), and I merrily urged
them on with choruses of the
“Volga Boatman”.
When the moon rose over the
island, it shone silver light
through the shrubbery, twisting
branhces and bushes into gro
tesque shapes. In the pale moon
light sizzling steaks were flipped
on the grills over the glowing
coals, and a meal, complete with
fried onions, climaxed the intend
ed sailing trip down the sound.
As the Wrightsville boatmen
breathed sighs of relief when the
paddies were shoved away, the
last knot tied, and the sails rolled,
the slightly weary group made
their way tOithe McCarl’s home
where the cake, was cut and
downed between Citadel, Navy,
and WCUNC tales.
A fun-filled evening came to a
close as the plans for another
such doing were formulated, and
expectances are lined up for the
repetition of that steak fry in a
couple of weeks.
TOUGH UUCK
As one outdoor party fades into
a grand memory, another one
brings itself into view. Put
dreams have been shattered
where the poking of a stick,
adorned with a plump pink roast
ing weiner, into a bright fire down
on Middle Sound is connerned.
Sorry, gang; but the great big

starts is censored by a sorrow

NEW SPINSTERS
Recently the popular Spinster’s
Club met to bestow- honors on
more of the young social set of
the city as it offered membeship
to nineteen of Wilmington’s young
ladies. And even yet the new
members continue to beam and
sigh over the wonderful fact of
being chosen.
Among the nineteen new Spin
sters, a majority was drawn from
our own teen crowd. Besides Ra
chel Cameron. Princess Stellings,
and Edna Matthes whom I have
previously named as chosen ones,
DeLean Longley, Frances Penton,
Nanny Moore, and Eleanor Will
etts, were asked into the club.
Martha Holton, Mary Anne Hamil
ton, Betty Davis, Anne Everrette,
ana Sally Trulo\fc are others who
are to accept the membership as
Sninsfprs.
BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION
Early Saturday night about
twenty people hustled down the
road to Greenville Sound where
the House of Higgins was the
chosen spot for a birthday cele
bration. Kay Anderson gayly turn
ed into her seventeenth year, flip
ping back the calendar pages,
over her sweet sixteep deys.
Supper was served to the guests
in bouffet style. A delicious potato
salad was piled in a mound on a
large platter and centered artis
tically between cold sliced ham,
celery stuffed with a cream
cheese mix, and shaped bread
sandwiches spread with sliced
olvies settled in cream cheese.
Iced tea was generously served,
and, quite naturally, the party
meal so carefully planned was a
success.
Of course no birthday celebra
tion can be complete without the
cake but Kay proved to be doubly
fortunate along that line. Janet
Holmes turned cook one afternoon
and produced a tasty three-layer
chocolate cake, decorated attrac
tively with the small candles, and
colorful icings.
Looking just like a picture was
the lovely cake made by Jack
McCarley’s mother for Kay -- a
perfect example of the great art
of cookery. Her cake was icad in
delicate pink with a gardenia of
white and green icing decorating
a portion of the top. A sweet wish
to Kay was written in white icing
below the flower, and other icing
designs made the beautiful cake
perfect.

her date, Janet Volk and Sonny
Blalock, Kay and Tommy Hall,
Genny Bullard and Jack McCar

the celebratin’ were Mrs, Ander

entrance into her seventeenth
year, and of course, Higg.
Janet Holmes and Ebe Godwin,
Isabelle Anderson and Rex Willis,
Mary Lib Allsbrook and Tommy
Marable, Audrey Strong and O. K.
Pridgen were more of the many
who headed for the sound Satur
day night.
Later in the evening — but not
too late for supper—guests Mary
Anne Jenkins and Hugh Evans
walked in. Mary Anne was at
tractively attired in a sky blue
shoulderless dress of resting
chintz, and a large bow of the
wide sash eround the waist was
tied perkily at the back. A border
ot wide white eyelet lace rounded
her tanned shoulders.
After several flash pictures had
been taken to be placed among
their souvenirs in a fat scrapbook,
the party neared an end. . . and
