He writer who penned the
an a June Is Busting Out AJ1
i, i must have seen Carrie Mae
i. a! had her in mind She handed
ne h.-r list and the catch-as-catch-
ii began. Carrie Mae was deeply
u:p -I'.- iative of what was being giv-
:i ! i r but Carrie Mae was exper
eiHing her first glimpse of an
arthiy heaven and she was hav
ni the timr of her lifp.
I finally got her list and Carrie
Mae together and we started. She
wanted a sweater and her selection
was an angelic shell pink one.
Shell pink? Practical? Heck no!
But life needs a few impractical
things in it to keep the lights burn
ing on the eternal Christmas tree,
farrie Mae got the pink sweater
. . . and from then on Carrie Mae's
selections were all mine. Carrie
Mae had discovered a clothes
model with wire hair and her en
chantment was something out of
this world. With the pink sweater
went a very pretty dress carrying
a delicate pink stripe amidst its
other decorations; underwear, a
delicate pink slip, woolen gloves
of a sensible color, galoshes (which
she kept right on), socks and a
Jennie Lee wanted a coat . . .
and we tried on several before we
found one that mot all require

fit. For Jennie Lee. although only

a young lady. One of the coats
wC tried on Jennie Lee was the
most beautiful shade of red and I
thought it might go well with her
big blue eyes . . . until I saw An
nie Jean's deep brown eyes ador
ing that red coat. Then that coat
wasn't going to be worn by any
one but Annie Jean when it came
her turn.
With Jennie Lee's coat went a
dress that had the same accommo
dating stripe to match the coat.
Underwear, a slip, head scarf that
matched in tones, galoshes and
woolen head scarf. That woolen socks completed her list ana as
head scarf had been impressed ' she had been such an assisting per

During Ihe "White Christmas",
service al the First Baptist church
l here Sunday morning, an an
nouncement was made that Mr.
and Mrs. Noble W. Garrett had
made a pledge to give a 7-piece
set ol pulpit furniture for the new
church building.
Tlie announcement came as the
service was dedicated to the giv
ing of gifts to the church building.
1 Mr. and Mrs. Garrett approached
j church officials some lime ago and
made the offer, saying they wanted
to have a part in the new build
ing, because of their "apprecia
tion of the congregation, the pas-
j tor. and in recognition of the loya!
i services to the church of Prof, and
Mrs. W. C. Allen."
j Provisions hav been made to
I have a plaque made dedicating the
' furniture in honor of Prof, and
; Mrs. Allen.
When the announcement was
made by W. Curtis Russ, chairman
of the building fund committee,
Professor Allen rose and expressed
his gratitude for the recognition
shown he and Mrs. Allen. The con
gregation then stood in honor of
the two honorees and the donors
of the gift to the new building.
This is the second liberal gift
made towards the new building
during the past few weeks by
friends outside the congregation.
Several weeks ago Mrs Miriam
Moore, and daughter, Mrs. Page,
gave $5,000 for a new pipe organ.
Rev. L. G. Elliott, pastor of tha
church said. "In behalf of the con
gregation. I wish to express our
appreciation to these friends of
