ments for the leay year party which |
the class will give tomorrow evening |
In the armory.
One hears of little but weddings
and engagements, trousseaux and
bridal presents these sunny April days,
but, as everybody is interested in
weddings, the gossip is perhaps more
diverting than if 1t was Of poker win
nings or luncheon menus. The heart
of one prospective bride was made
glad yesterday by the arrival of a
great parcel from Ireland, which held
a store of household linen, table
cloths, napkins and towels, with a
handwoven web to be fashioned into
dainty things. the gift Of several
friends who met in Dublin and who
co-operated in a present, which was
sent when they heard Of the engage
ment, early enough that the bride
would not have supplied herself with
household plenishings, and, even If she
had. what housekeeper could own too
much silky damask?
