(Turn to page 5, Sec. 2, please) PARTYING GADDING-- (Continued from page 1, Sec. 2) Frances Cash and to attend the marriage hext Wednesday of jjaid niece to Lieutenant Franklin uest Smith, of Fort Sam Houston. Looks like these Cashes sorta like army folks, for Ruth left a major husband up Missouri way. Today, the lieutenant will be driving up from San Antonio and bringing with him his parents the Charles F.

Smiths, who make their home at Redlands, California. And either today or tomorrow the Latimer Smiths will drive in from California, Latimer to attend his lieutenant brother as best man. With much ballyhoo we chronicled last Sunday in this column the expected departure of our bridge prides and joys, Isabel Hardin McMahon, Fay Young Morton and Joe Gllckman, for Houston, there to win that special regional Texas Bridge League tournament. Was our face red when we found that not only did they not win, they didn't even go to the tourney. And the reason was that for some obscure reason that special event was thrown out of the tourney calendar.

Bags were packed and the three were set for departure when a telegram came calling off the event. We still contend that had they gone, they would have brought home the bacon. Being semi-blond, 'twould not be so difficult a feat for our face to turn red, but that would be called an achievement for that gal who used that much overworked expression "was my face red" as the meaningful climax to a tale told by her to her companion, as they strolled up Pine. For the speaker jtwas as black as the darkest knight Halle Selassie's Ethiopia. On a move from coast to coast, across the United States, the J.

Leland Atwoods are expected here today to visit out In the North Grape street home of his parents, the E. B. Atwoods. Leland will come in from their former home at Baltimore, while Mrs. Leland.

the former Allene Goodnight, and little daughter, Marian, will drive up from San Antonio with her sister, the junior Mrs. W. D. GIrand, of Amarillo. They've been visiting with other people who pronounce tomato "to- mahto." To our list we've added one and all who call mayonnlase "my- oh-nez," and at the top we have placed that lad who cried and cried so long and loud along about 2 a.

m. Friday over on North Third. Chance of a lifetime will come to you soon to buy crepe myrtle shrubs in watermelon red (or pink if you must have pink) for just a song. For that handful of women on the federated club's beaulificatlon committee is launching a campaign to sell in Taylor county one entire carload of shrubs. The shrubs will be from two to three feet tall and two years old and they'll cost you 12 cents each, planted in November, they'll bloom next spring and our Centennial visitors will say what a pretty town have we.

Now that we have a garden club in the making we are assured of having, sooner or later, a flower show. But what about a horse show? During the past week those Steph- envllle folks down in Erath county staged not only a two-day flower show but a three-ring horse show as well. By three-ring, we mean they put on a morning parade; an afternoon show of draft horses, registered and graded thoroughbreds, American saddle horses, jacks and mules, while in the evening there was a seven-class arena show. Boys and girls under 12 years of age riding three-galted horses opened the show. Next was a potato race for 16 years and under.

Men and women rode three-gafted saddle horses in event three, while event four was for horses shown in walk, trot, canter, slow gait and rack. Then came plantation class saddle horses, a cow horse cutting contest and to close the show, a reining cow horse event. Last Texas almanac at hand gives Stephenville a population of 3,944 and Abilene, 23,175. We refuse to be- lieve thit thlt pushing forward spirit grew when their low became our Ciin: That li to uy, did you know Uiit not only our mayor but the heads of all three of our Institutions of higher learning hailed from Erath county? But whit sort of a horse show do you think a horse show would be ttw.1 would be staged by Jefferson Davis Sandefer, Cluster Quentln Smith, Clover L. (which doesn't start a thing) Johnson and James Franklin Cox? But 1( they couldn't put over a horse show, it is our firm belief that the Honorable William Willis Cox could If he would.

But would he? Outstanding social and sporting event of the year in Dallas was the three- day horse show, closing last night. Dallas, that's different, but Stephenville, well, that's different, too. Prom Temple finally comes to us word of the marriage there this fall of two girls who are well known here. Margaret Wilson, older daughter of Meta Andrews Wilson end Dr. T.

Rabun Wilson, former Abi- lenlans. Is the bride of Will R. Cole of Temple, while Margaret Lee Halley, only child of the B. C. Halleys is now Mrs.
