Jottings
BY MARTHA RHYME

boneymooning out on the West Coast
tell. us that the San Francisco Worlds
Fair is a genuine flop. Which isn't mucn
more than was expected. But the Worlds
Fair in New York, one of the most gi-
pantic spectacles ever undertaken in the
history of the world, isn't cracking up
to be what everyone expected OF 1t.
whether the people feel that they saw
everything possible to see at the Chi
cago and Texas Expositions or whether
there just isn't the money to finance
many such outings-the two colossal
Worlds Fairs seem to be pretty mucn
white elephant at this time.
Speaking of Fairs, we can't help but
be reminded Of letter from the Missis-
sippi Advertising Commission, or some
such organization, telling us that our
own Mississippi State Fair will be built
on the Progress" theme. Well, Mr..
Whelan. IL our heretofore highly sue
cessful State Fair Is to be patterned
after your Worlds Fair in New York.
you'd better get busy and make 1t worthy
of such a follower.
Mary Cain, beautiful editress Tor
whateyer YOU call a female who runs a
newspaper) Of the Summit Sun, drop
ned in for a little visit with The Ad-
vertiser force last Friday. Mrs. Cain
was on her way to Clarksdale, to a b.
g. P. w. convention. Like the few who
possess the rare intellect and the charm
Of Mary, she's always in demand and
her DAYS and weeks are filled with 60
ing and coming-fulfilling her many
duties. The Advertiser force was glad
that you had time to stop by, Mary.
Circles under eyes, unruly hair, and
half-mast looks chacterize the Senior
Class this week! In other words. the
thirty-niners are just about burned out.
Thursday night, a most interesting pro-
gressive dinner was given by the parents
and friends Of Patsy Kier, Roland
Rhyme, and Henry Hooker. Cocktails
were at Ruth Poyall's, salad at Mrs
Kier's with Julie White as co-hostess
the main course at Necie Povall's with
she and Sydney Rhyme as co-hostesses
and dessert over at Keturah Povalps
Among souvenirs Of the dinner, to sa,
nothing Of the swelegant dance after
wards, were five napkins, four pink ant
green balloons, a corsage, four sweet
peas, a darling nineteen-thirty nine ic'
cream fork, and so much more. At thu
dance afterwards, the gala and veril!

rec, with the nickelodian furnishing thu
music. Friday night, Mary Moore ant

Depend on chllun' to do the unexpecte,

Patrolman Copeland, as ever doing hi
duty, really is to be commended on tn
splendid bit Of work he did last Satur
day night. Drunken driving is a menace
in anyone's country and it's up to some
body to stop it. The pity of the who'll
situation was that he didn't leave tn
driver with the car and in pretty mucl
the same condition. And if that jug o
"cawn" liquor that they'd found ha,
been chemically analysed there woul,
have been small wonder that after drink
ing the stuff, the negro would have beef
doing circles around the Confederate
monument in the court house yard.
