Baby Show,

April 24th
Ministering Circle To Spon
sor Charitable Event At
Cape Fear Armory
Plans are well under way for
the Baby Show and Children’s
Festival, which will take place on
Wednesday afternoon, April 24, at
the Cape Fear Armory, 812 Market
street.
The age for entrance in the
babies class has been extended to
five years of age and prizes will
be awarded to the superlatives in
several classifications within this
age. Twins will be in a group to
themselves with appropriate prizes
to be given according to merit.
It is hoped that a parade of
decorated carriages, strollers, or
any wheeled vehicle for children,
will be an event of the festival,
with the award of prizes for the
prettiest and most original.
For older children there will be
various forms of entertainment
and best of all candy, cookies, and
ice cream will be on sale.
The Ministering Circle is fortu
nate in procuring the Cape Fear
Armory as an appropriate setting
for this festival and large enougn
to accommodate many adult spec
tators, as well as children in all
their Easter finery
The proceeds from this affair
will go toward the work of The
Ministering Circle, one of the old

prises ministration to those needing
nursing and bed-side care, aid to
children in pre-school clinics, and
advice to pre-natal and post-natal
cases. Two rooms at the James
Walker Memorial hospital are also
under the sponsorship of the circle.
To sustain this work it is necessary
for the organization to give a year

Slightly Off The Record
Wilmington, N. C.
April 14, 1946.
Dear Peggy: —
As per your request, in yesterday’s letter, for a suggestion of
something new to serve you as an appetizer with cocktails, I will
tell you about a “yummy” tasting morsel which was served here
recently by a clever hostess who specializes in Swedish dishes—
Canned button mushrooms marianated in sauterne, and chilled, before
serving. Never have I tasted anything as delicious, and judging from
the rapidity with which this special dish had to be replenished, I am
not alone in my praise and appreciation of the unusual delicacy.
Last Sunday at 1:15 o'clock Mrs. Oliver C. Hutaff broadcasted over
our local radio station WMFD on “Present Day Fashions For Women.”
Her talk was highly instructive and extremely interesting. What she
had to say was short, snappy, and right to the point, as is invariably
the case with Peggy. Someone showed rare good judgment in their
i selection of our own charming, talented, stylish Peggy Hutaff to put
i across to other women what the really well dressed Wilmington women
will wear in the spring and summer of 1946, for Peggy KNOWS, and
Peggy dresses flawlessly, in excellent taste, which, to our way of
thinking, is in expensive simplicity.
I heard last week that Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Harriss, of 309
Wrightsville avenue, have purchased the Vernon G. Avery cottage on
East Oxford street, northern extension, at Wrightsville Beach, for
their summer home, and intend moving down very shortly.
Someone also said that Mr. and Mrs. Frank Kenan of Durham,
have leased the Glenn Holt cottage at 78 North Lumina avenue,
Wrightsville Beach, for the summer months. Frank Kenan is the
grandson of Mrs. James G. Kenan of 111 South Third street this city,
and has been a welcome visitor in our midst on numerous occasions.
Mrs. E. L. White has returned from Charlotte where she spent
the past month as the guest of her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and
Mrs. Chadbourn Bolles at their lovely new home.
Mrs. Robert C. Davis and daughter, Miss Fannie Davis of Hous
ton, Texas, have returned to their home after a visit here of three
weeks. The attractive guests from Texas divided their time while in
Wilmington between Mr. and Mrs. Charles B. Parmele at their home
in Country Club Pines, and Mr. and Mrs. Emmet P. Crow at Mason
boro Sound.
Fred Willetts, Jr., has returned from more than two years’ duty
with the Intelligence Dept, of the Army Air Corps, in the Pacific,
and is at home in Glen Arden with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick Willetts. Fred Jr., was separated from the army on Friday,
April 5th, at Fort Bragg, and was accompanied to Wilmington by his
mother, Mrs. Willetts, and his sister, Miss Eleanor J. Willetts, who
is a student at St. Mary’s School, Raleigh. After spending the week
end here, Miss Willetts returned to Raleigh on Monday to resume
her studies. Fred Willetts, Jr., is receiving a hearty welcome on all
sides by his many friends in the city. In the nca' future, he will
become affiliated, in business, with the Willetts Realty Co. at 124
Princess street. Friends of Fred Willetts, Sr., will be pleased to
hear that his condition is somewhat improved, following a recent
illness. •
Word has been received by his parents that Cyrus D. Hogue, Jr.,
is en route home from many months of overseas service as an officer
in the U. S. Army. “Buddie” Hogue expects to come directly here
from his separation center to join Mr. and Mrs. Hogue at their home
in Oleander.
Major and Mrs. Carl Morrison Allen, Jr., of College Park, Ga., |
are guests of Mrs. Allen’s aunt and uncle, Mr. and Mrs. S. L. M>r-i]
bury at their home in Forest Hills. Prior to her marriage on Feb. ■
27th, Mrs. Allen was Miss Kathryn Snow of Wilmington. I understand 1
that Kathryn expects to accompany her husband, Major Allen, when
he returns to overseas duty with the army. <
