Miss Olive Mallow was honor
guest at linen shower, given
by Mrs. Gertrude Strange and
Miss Lena Tartar at the home of
the former, Friday evening. |
About 80 guests enjoyed the
event, which was both unique
and delightful, and many beau
tiful gifts of linen were bestowed
upon the estimable bride-elect.
The rooms were prettily decorat-
ed with red and white carnations,
and light refreshments were
served. Among the interesting
features OF entertainment were
two instrumental solos by Miss
Mary Cauthorn, a vocal duet by
Misses Carrie Buchanan and |
Marie Cathey, an original recita-
ton by Miss Lena Tartar, and a
trio by Mrs. Gertrude Strange, 4
Miss Tartar, and Miss Carrie. Bu-

and with heartiest praise for the
delightful manner in which they
had been entertained by their
charming hostesses.

boarding house stands very near
The Candy Kitchen and next to
