An October Shower.

On Friday afternoon, October goth, q
great many ladies carrying mysterious
little bundles, and equally mysterious
big bundles, might have been seen
vending their way TO the home of Mrs.
NJ. J. Bailey, who seemed somehow to
expect them. They were the members
Of the NJ. l.. Aid Society and many
other ladies, who went in response to Il
kind invitation from Mrs Bailey and
her helpers, to give surprise Package
Shower on Miss Rilla Mae Willis. Af-
ter the ladies had all gathered and the
bundles were stored away, Miss Willis
at finding the crowd assembled in her
honor. After many greetings and much
merry chat, Miss Willis was led, an un-
suspecting victim, OF course, under a
large Japanese umbrella which hung
from the ceiling of the parlor. Sudden
" then, and without an instants warn
ing this umbrella turned itself over and
deluged the innocent yonng lady under
meath with packages of all sizes and
descriptions. And then the fun began.
Miss Willis was made to set down in
the midst of the heap, which had grown
to greater proportions 10y this time with
bundles the umbrella would not hold,
and open package after package Of beat
! tiful and useful articles while her friends
showered upon her a perfect torrent OF
congratulatory and admlring remarks.
And some of the ladies decided, in fact
nearly all of them, but this was to have
| been kept a secret, that it was worth
while being married over again just to
! have a Package Shower However, the
6nal arrangements of this plan were left
until later for at this point these envi'
Gus ones were consoled and comforted
by the most delicious refreshments, and
when going home time came the shower
was over and sunshine, peace and con
tentment shone on every face and filled
every heart
