Announcement Hn a Nutshell"

The announcement of the engage,
ment of Miss Anna Field of Madison,
daughter of Mr.. an Mrs. w. II. Field
to Diedrich Brunson, was a novel one.
The Madison Post says of it:
The announcement of Miss Fields
marriage, which is set for October
was made at two social functions,
one of the Anniversary club and one
of the NJ. NJ. club.
The Anniversary club met at the
home of c. S. Snyder Friday even
ing, the occasion being a double cele-
bration, that of Mrs. c. S. Snyder and
w. II. Field. After an hour passed in
visiting and other pastimes, the guests
to the number of twenty-three were
conducted into the dining room where
the table was spread with a sump-
tuOus repast, very prettily decorated
place card and beautiful white rose
were at each plate, and all the guests
were soon busily engaged in eating
the many good things with a hearty
good will and a cornwall spirit. After
the last course had been served, an
English walnut was passed to each
guest, the halves were united with a
bit of ribbon which attracted the at
tention of the guests, and immediate
investigation was in order. The open
ed shell of the nut revealed a slip of
white paper, and upon this slip of pa
per appeared the names of Miss Anna
May Field and Diedrich Brunson. The
congratulations were spontaneous and
sincere and were showered upon Miss
Field who accepted them most grace
fully.
Another pretty feature OF the even
ing came with the distribution of the
dainty wish books" bearing the mono
gram of Miss Field encircled by a
wreath of for-get-me-nots also bearing
the date of the anniversary and an
nouncement. Each guest was request
ed to offer a wish in commemoration
of the happy event. The verses to-
gether with the autograph of the con-
tributor were collected and presented
to Miss Field who read the verses
aloud much to the enjoyment of the
guests, who voted the evening one Of
the best that the Anniversary club
had ever enjoyed.
