Ladies Garden Club Hears
Rev. McBride On "Color"
Lecturing on "Color in the
Home", the Rev. Claude Mc-
Bride was the featured speak-
er at the October 6 meeting of
the Ladies Garden Club at the
YWCA. Rev. McBride, pastor
of the Milledge Avenue Bap-
tist Church was introduced by
the President, Mrs. John
Bondurant, who noted his ac-
complishments as a pastor,
journalist, athletic enthusiast
and flower arranger.
Demonstrating with both
dried and live materials, Rev.
McBride wittily described the
advantages of using readily
available items. He particular-
ly stressed the opinion that
the only acceptable use for
artificial flowers is in dried
arrangements, and this only
after floral lacquer enhance-
ment to a natural dried ap-
pearance. He also recom-
mended using floral lacquer
to brighten natural materials.
His point was well carried as
he sprayed a variety of ber-
ries, greenery, dried flowers,
and containers with an assort-
ment of such colors as red-
gold, Flemish-gold, and
green-gold. Rev. McBride re-
iterated his opening statement
that natural variety of both
color and line are desirable.
He concluded saying that col-
or should follow the season;
that natural flowers offer the
best color usage for the sea-
son during which they blos-
som.

Ellis Dixon brought a beauti-
Miss
ful arrangement of her roses
for the speaker's table.
Mrs. Bondurant briefed the
membership on board deci-
sions and on related events
which had occurred during
the summer adjournment.
The group was told of
the receipt of a gift honoring
the late Mrs. M. R. Redwine
and that an appropriate use
of this memorial gift would be
decided at a future meeting.
A motion was passed unani-
mously citing Mrs. Irving
Martin, a former member, for

expressing the club's appre-

Martin of this motion.
A progress report was given
on the club's project to secure
a U. S. Commemorative Pos-
tage Stamp in 1966 to honor
the founding of the Ladies
Garden Club Movement in
America. She urged all

Easy does it in this tiny nursery which features a com-
fortable old rocking chair. Baby's up-to-date equipment
includes her new stretch diapers, knit and terry cloth
clothes (no ironing for Mom) and a walnut finished stor-
age chest and cupboard which will be just as serviceable
when she becomes a teen-ager with a wardrobe of shirts,
skirts and sweaters. Folding screen partition is covered
with a plastic quilted material.
Tiny Babies Need Space
BY KAY SHERWOOD
Newspaper Enterprise Assn.
As any parent will tell you,
babies only come in small,
adorable sizes. But the equip-
ment needed to house, feed
and clothe that small, adora-
ble package can quickly grow
into king-sized problems
where space is limited.
The problem is related to
what equipment is designated
as "essential." I have decided
that only the parents can say
what is truly essential for
their baby. Is a bassinet es-
sential when a crib will be
needed in about three or four
months? The answer is
"Yes" with some parents;
"No" with others.
When a baby will share a
bedroom with his parents or
other children, his quarters
should be screened off with a
folding screen, or a similar
light and noise barrier, I
think.
Most babies are scheduled
for a layette. The "essentials"
vary but a basic list in a pam-
phlet distributed in infant's
departments. (by Curity)
gives a guideline. I have
learned you can usually do
with less than a "basic" list if
you have ready access to a
washing machine and drying
facilities.
One improvement in baby
equipment is the variety of
cute cotton knits and terry
cloth clothes designed for the
very young baby. These are
the no-iron type shirts, gowns,
sacques and pants which have
color and pattern but are fast
wash-and-dry.
New and good-looking nur-
sery furniture includes pieces
which can serve teen-agers as
well as babies.
For example, a walnut
chest of drawers with a cup-
board on the side. In early
years, little snow suits, sleep-
ers, and so on, hang in the
cupboard; later, sweaters,
skirts and blouses fill the
space. The finish of the wood
(dark or medium) and the
clean design fits this nursery
furniture for a long life.

Old wicker storage chests
which swing open have been

which slide open on rollers.
These come with a foam rub-
ber pad on top to flip over on
the opened frame to make a
handy dressing stand.
The bathinette may still suit
most mothers as a combina-
tion bath and, with the top
down, dressing table. The best
of these have wide safety
straps to hold the baby and
plastic covered foam rubber
pads. An equally good bath
can be given in a plastic tub
or the kitchen sink, as I know
from experience.
New plastic carriers for in-
fants have been enthusiasti-
cally endorsed by every moth-
er I've talked to. These
shaped holders make feeding
and transporting easier, they
tell me.
A piece of equipment I
would consider essential is a
rocking chair, old or new.
Gentle rocking is a mutually
beneficial tranquilizer for
mother or dad and the baby.
A rag rug, a sec-
ond-hand carpet, a rubber-
backed synthetic can be as ef-
fective as expensive wall-to-
wall covering.

Tips Help Marriage
Every mother ought to tell
her daughter:
That a man may improve
with marriage, but she had
better not count on it.
That certain undesirable
traits in a man are almost
sure to get worse instead of
better as time goes on. These
include stinginess, laziness, a
wandering eye and a bad dis-
position.
That many a wife who of-
fered to work for "a year or
two" after marriage discov-
ers that a husband easily
grows accustomed to the ex-
tras two pay checks provide
and the "year or two"
stretches on and on.
That if she doesn't want to
pick up after her husband all
the days of her life she had
better not ever start it.
a variety of cookies and cof-
fee to the 13 members and 4
visitors present. Visitors were
Mesdames Inez Holliday, De-
catur; Ellen Hammond, Abbe-
ville, S. C.; Howard Martin
and Marcelle Smith, Hull and
Neese respectively.
Nov. meeting will be held in
Sanford Community Center,
Mrs. Lester, hostess.
That the greatest threat to
marriage is boredom so a
wife should keep things
stirred up enough to be inter-
esting.
That nagging a man will get
her nowhere.
That the wifely words a
husband resents the most are
"I told you so."
That the most sensible thing
to do about a husband's faults
and shortcomings is to accept.
them and work around them.
That when a husband tells a
funny story a good wife's
laughter leads all the rest, no
matter how many times she
has heard the story before.
That in-laws who give a
young couple "everything" al-
most always include a lot of
advice with the loot.
That if a woman puts her
children ahead of her husband
she shouldn't be surprised if
he puts something or some-
body ahead of her.
That a husband who is used
to being told he is wonderful
by his wife isn't flattered out
of his mind if some other
woman happens to tell him
the same thing.
Girls who start their mar-
riages knowing even.
that
much about men are likely to
get along pretty well.
