The Social Whirl

Quite a week end wasn~t it? Despite the rain, recession,
lay-offs et al, came the Fourth of July and we still managed
to have barbeque on every grill.

Many who had planned out of town.picnics, found when
the rains came, that they could have just as good~ a time
in their own backyards. As we drove down Lapeer street,
for example, sounds of fun and laughter could be heard
from 1807, 1712 and 1717. The Sam Williams were hosts
to the Fred Garretts, Henry Osburns, Tommy Mitchels,
Lean Williams, Ray Davises and their respective offspring.

A-few of those making merry at the James Clarks were
the.Don Colemans, Joe Hills and Mendell Vaughns.

The Prentis James helped welcome home Teddy Hill
from the Army and Dorothy Hill visiting here from. New
York City.;

* * %

The many friends of Irma Williams were delighted to
have her in Flint if only for a day. She and her husband,
H. D. Williams and daughter were guests of the Booker
Wilders of Chelan Street. The barbeque prepared was served
on the patio rivaled any in the city on the Fourth. Other
~guests of: the Wilders were Mr. and Mrs. Boyce: Sucxuer,
Attorney and Mrs. Elisha Scott and Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Dunns.

* * *:

Rev. and Mrs. Charles G. Pritche't of 730 Evergreen:
street were ~ to relatives and close friends on the
Fourth.

A barbeque was planned for the lawn but inclement
weather caused it to be enjoyed indoors.

Those present were Mr. and Mrs. Ivory Thomas and
children, Mrs. William Fraction, Mrs. Lucile McCormick,
the Rev. and Mrs. Thomas Courts. Barbeque and all that
" goes with it was served. The evening was pleasantly spent
~and enjoyed by all.

Mrs. Evans Davis was hostess to her ~sister, Mrs. Mabel
Taylor and family of Philadelphia who were here for the
week end. Mrs. Taylor is also the sister~of Lincoln Ward of
12th street.

-Mrs. Abner Davis has returned via Capitol Airlines from
a ten day trip to New York where she visited her sister
and brother-in-law, Dr. and Mrs. H H. Thorne.

The home of Mrs. Odell Broadway of 743 E. Myrtle street
was a scene of beauty when she entertained friends on Tuesday honoring Mr. and Mrs. Noah Griffin of San Francisco,
California. Mrs. Griffin will be known by friends as Theressa
Ballou, the daughter of the late Rev. and Mrs. Thomas
Ballou.

The home was beautifully decorated throughout with cut
- flowers from the hostess~ own flower garden.
A very palatable luncheon was served. Those enjoying |
