An old-time friend of the bride and
bridegroom, though not invited to the
handkerchief shower this afternoon,
was anxious to prove his regard for
the young couple and present them
with a visible token of his good will.
This man is a believer in equal rights,
and he has reasoned that what is
Sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander," and that if handkerchief is
given TO the bride. the mate to it is
due the bridegroom. So with the
thoughtful care one bestows on the
purchase of house and lot. he visited
the Five-and-Te Cent store and made
a selection of an ample white hand
kerchief with quantities of bright roses
printed on both sides. Then he laid
violent hands on a bandana decorated
| with a conventional fleur lie lis design
to give to the bridegroom. 1t will be
found useful article, for it may serve
| as a collar protector on market days,
| a lunch cloth, or a horse blanket
! That the gifts might be presented in
proper form, he chose two sheets OF
| tissue paper, one purple in which to
wrap the bandana, and the other pink
! in whoch to wrap the brides gift tic
keep the sun from fading it The
| two packages were tied with pale blue
ribbon and delivered to the ''rair
makers who were responsible for the
shower. Thus this delicate tribute OF
friendship descended like a gift from
| the skies.
