The Ladies' Aid Society and their
friends are enthusiastic over the tea
and Chinese exhibit given by their
hosts, Mr.. and Mrs. Banksom Hol-
comb at their beautiful home at
Nordington Mills last Saturday af-
ternoon.
The most beautiful lamps, en-
broideries, tapestries, hangings,
China and clothing were displayed.
These things had been collected by
Mr.. and Mrs. Holcomb during sew
eral years stay in China.
Mrs. John Darby and Mrs. Jester
A. Gray poured. They were dressed
in Chinese costumes. Mrs. Abbie
Counselman, Miss Miriam Counsel
man and Miss Ruth VanHoey served
dressed in Chinese costumes. The
delicious food was served in Chinese
style and paltaken by means of
chopsticks which the host taught
the guests to use dexterously.
This was a rare and unusual oc-
casion, being educational and eX-
tremely interesting. There were 45
present at this very delightful affair.
The Ladies Auxiliary of the Fred
erica Volunteer Fire Company are
to be congratulated for the excel
lent turkey supper served in the
auditorium of the school on We'd
nesday evening of last week.
The auditorium filled with tables
shining with glasses and silver pre-
sented a pretty scene.
The decorations of chrysanthe-
NUNS artistically arranged by Mrs.
Lulu Darby and Mrs. Lulu Gray
were very attractive.
The president of the Auxiliary,
Mrs. Marian Gerow and the chair
man of the supper, Mrs. Mabel
Raughley wish to extend their sim
cere thanks to every person who as
sisted in any way toward the sup
per contributions of food, cash, or
services of any kind. This hearty
cooperation of the town people was
very necessary in order to cater to J
450 patrons. 1t was also an evening
of sociability for persons were pres
ent from all parts of the state.
The town has purchased an old |
landmark, the Whitaker property, |
known to several generations as
"the high step house." 1t is a quaint |
old house with dormer windows and |
high steps, and is falling into de-
cay. 1t was built by a man from
England named Chippey many years
ago. 1t will be torn down and the
site will be used for the new build
ing for the Fire Company.
