The young ladies had cungrogatcd at
the home of Miss Clara Rudat and
went in crowd to the Koonigstcin
home. Miss Koenigstein opened the
packages with delight, and discovered
many useful and attractive gifts.
Among the members was Mrs. Charles
II. Johnson, who recently became a
bride at Columbus and for whom,
therefore, the guild had no chance to
express its esteem in the way of a
shower. Mrs. Johnson last night
went home early and the young ladies,
after they had remained for social
evening, proceeded to the Johnson
home where they rendered to Mrs.
Johnson a handkerchief shower. Al
together the two showers made a de.
lghtful evening.
