Shower for Miss Thompson.

Mrs. John Vert was hostess for two
pleasant affairs this week on Friday
afternoon and evening. Each were
shower parties given in honor of Miss
Thompson. The house was beauti-
fully decorated with cut flowers and
wild blooms. In the reception hall
marguerites and green ferns were
tastefully arranged. The color scheme
of pink was carried out in the living
room, with Ia France roses and green
foliage as a decoration. The dining
room was very attractive in yellow
Scotch broom. The electroliers were
hooded in the corresponding shades
of the different rooms. and with the
light of day excluded, made pleas
ing picture.
The dainty tied parcels for the
shower were tied together with pink
ribbons and suspended from the arch
in the form of an alcove. Here Miss
Thompson was seated when the rib
bons were drawn and the numerous
gifts were showAred upon her.
A feature of the afternoon pleasure
was the reading poetry suitable to
the occasion, composed by the guests
