AS usual, we have had the regu-

These include Bruce Cartier, Dur

Of the other males who just drop
in every now and then include
three very nice boys from Raj

Gosh! I never heard their last

Lynn Kirk, Howell Sharpe, Tyler

frequent visits. Music is furnished

complete.
A few of us went over on the
beach Monday afternoon, and tried
to take a sun-bath, but we had
hardly been settled before the
sand began to cover us COM
pletely. We could hardly find the
blanket, so we decided to journey
back to the house, and sit and talk
with all the gang. Even though
there aren't as many people down
this time as there were last, every.
body seems to be having a super
time, and I know they'll hate tc
have Friday come.
June Brides
June really has been proven the
month of brides, and showers for
the prospective brides are the
thing of the day. Miss Mary
Roland was honored this past Mon
day night by a china shower giver
by Miss Ruth Middleton. Mis-!
Roland is engaged to Elco Tinga,
and will be married the latter part
of this month. Miss Mary Emma
Humphrey gave a china shower
at her home this past Tuesday
hight in honor of Miss Ruth Rawls
who will also be married the
middle of this month.
When one or two girls start a
fad in the way of clothing or &C.
cessories, the others usually take
if up. This summer the flower that
seems to be the most poplar is
the gardenia. If you r fortunate
enough to have a gardenia, OF capz
iesamine, in your front yard, YOU
sho' are in great demand as ar
impromptu florist. One single
blossom looks nice tucked neatly ir
the side of a pompadour, or ever
