’ociai ^.Jcene . . . By RICHARD C. HENDERSON

The ( a’ aliers dub of Anderson provided me with an enjoyable Saturday night last- week, the occasion being that vroup's second annual formal dance, which I attended as guest of Mrs. Hazel Minnefield, daughter of Mrs. Fred Augusta of this city. The affair was held in the Urban League Center, which was painstakingly decorated for evening. The club, understand, is considered toe* top social club in Andersen, and I can understand why. A .group of a dozen men who go l-*a tremendous amount of trouble to make really beautiful decorations for one evening deserve to be tops.
