Musical Series
to Open at S.C.W.
MISS OWSLEY JUDGES MUSIC
FESTIVAL
Miss Stella Owsley of the S. C.
W. voice faculty is in Stillwat-
er, Ok., serving as a judge in the
state finals of the Tri-State Mu-
sic Festival’s vocal and choral con-
tests being held there Thursday
through Saturday.
A “note burning” service, in ob-
servance of liquidation of indebted-
ness of years’ standing, will be held
in the First Christian Church Sun-
day at 11 a. m. Since Rev. R. R.
Yelderman’s coming Feb. 1, 1935, the
pastor pointed out, the church has
been on a cash basis, and in a spe-
cial campaign conducted by him
during the past two weeks the
amount to meet a note was over-
subscribed.
■The official board of the church
will have charge, with Jerome
Moore master of ceremonies. The
honor of burning the note will be
accorded Mmes. Eli P. Cox and W.
A. Shanklin. Because this service
will occupy the morning hour the
Mothers’ Day sermon will be in the
evening, and the theme will be “A
Bible Mother and Her Daughter.”
All mothers of the church are in-
vited to attend.
An organ recital at 4 o’clock Sun-
day afternoon will introduce a
number of student musical events
at S. C. W. during the coming week.
Three pupils of Carl Wiesemann,
Misses Alice Scoates, Laura Beat-
tie Smith, and Laveta Foster, will
be presented at the Sunday after-
noon recital, with Miss Jane Shind-
ler, contralto, pupil of Wm. E.
Jones, assisting.
Monday evening at 8:15 o’clock,
Misses Josephine Dunn, Glenda
Garland, and Chrystine Mueller
will be presented in voice recital by
Miss Stella Owsley, with Mrs.
Gladys Lawhon at the piano.
Miss Mary Ella Smith, soprano,
will be presented in senior voice re-
cital at the same hour Wednesday
evening, with Miss Martha Mitchell
as her accompanist. Miss Smith is
a pupil of Wm. E. Jones.

| “I can remember that my moth-
I er had a cook book in which she
i had written all manner of things
I and they were all marked. Mrs.
So-and-So’s gingerbread,
Whose this’s lemon pie,’ etc.
Prized Book
“I prize this book because of my
mother’s notations. These names
mean personalities to me and give
me greater confidence in the for-
mulas. I find now that women af-
fect an air of mystery about their
dishes and manage to get out of
giving them away.
“What do you think about it?
I don’t want to be rude. In fact,
I really mean to praise. Good Cook.
I may be wrong, but shall I tell
you what I think? I know some-
thing of the ways of the modern
housekeeper. That’s why I say
suspect her delicious dishes of
coming out of a can or being a
mass product to which she may
or may not have added ai few
individual touches.
As you no doubt know one can
buy just about everything under
the sun ready or almost ready, to
serve. Take pie crust. I have a
friend who has practiced deception
for years. Her family thinks she
bakes grand pies, and so she does.
But I seriously doubt if she could
put together the ingredients for
her crust. I could tell, you of doz
ens of such cases so, I suspect
your friends of wanting to keep
their little culinary secrets to them-
selves just because of some such
situation, I wouldn’t pry into
the mystery were I in your place.
Here is another intieresting let-
ter:
“My dear Mrs. Martin: Do you
consider that a girl engaged to
a man should visit his family? Not
his father and mother, but an
aunt and uncle who live about five
hours ride distant. I have never
met them. I. have not met his
parents, either, because they live
too far away to make it practical.
By AH Means Go.
“We expect th be married, this
summer when my fiance’s vaca-
tion can be arranged. My folks
don’t think I should accept his
• aunt’s invitation, but I don’t, see
‘ why not. "Twenty-four.”
Neither do I. It would be rather
stiff-necked not to. It’s quite nat-
ural. that your fiance’s familiy/
should be eager to know you and
I should thing you would feel cu-
riosity about them.
I see no reason why you should
not make them a brief visit. It is
so easy to get off on the wrong
foot with one’s future in-laws.
There is certainly no impropriety
in your visiting them.
And another:
“My dear Mrs.. Martin: ;I have
recently broken my engagement to
a man who showed himself very
unworthy. At least I thought so
at the time. I must say I think
I acted hastily and I want to let
him know the way I feel. He. has-
n’t made the, slightest move to
I get in touch with me.. I never see
' him and I don’t believe he will ever
give me a chance to say I am
sorry. What can I do? I now rea-
lize that I was hasty and unrea-
sonable. Quick Tempered
If you have a taste for humble
pie it’s your dish. You will have
to take your chance of a rebuff.
Many a girl has committed some
such folly and has rued the
day she appointed herself judge
and jury. It usually is costily busi-
ness to lose control of one’s tem-
per, for it means that one loses
control of the situation ais well.
I suppose the sportsmanlike thing
for you to do is takej your pen
in hand and write as san9 and
sensible an explanation of your
change of heart as you can man-
age. Don’t be maudlin.
State your case as briefly a,s
possible. Don’t be afraid to admit
that you misjudged him, or if you
didn’t, that you find you love him
in spite of his faults. You may
get away with this onjee. You arei
bound to if he cares for you.

Advance in Retail
Trade Slackens
NEW YORK, May 8. —(A>)— A
slackening in the advance of retail
during the current week was noted
today in the weekly survey by Dun
& Bradstreet.
“The buoyant tone of trade was
less. distinct during the week, both
seasonal factors and unfavorable
weather conspiring against a con-
tinuance of the advance,” it was
stated.
“There was a pause in the for-
ward movement of retail distribu-
tion, particularly in apparel, while
wholesale orders were mostly to
freshen current stocks, as the pre-
vious spurt in summer buying fail-
ed to hold.
“Tapering operations in both the
steel and motor divisions brought
a reduction of schedules in a num-
ber of allied industries, and further
curtailment of production was re-
ported by some of the cotton mill
groups. * * *
“The briskness of recent weeks
was lacking in consumer buying in
most parts of the country, but the
temporary slackening of sales was
regarded as a normal reaction oi
the rising volume of trade since the
first of the year.”
Mrs. R. A. Overall, 403 Pearl
Street, who has been quite ill of
pneumonia, was reported improv-
ing Friday.
Misses Clara Mae Collins, pianist,
and Merrell Strong, violinist, will
