door by Miss Ellen Werts, and in
vited into the drawing room, which
was elaborately decorated with ferns
and Southern smilax. After few
minutes of congratulations, they were
directed to the dining hall, which was
veritable bower of flowers, the color
scheme of red prevailing. Holly and
red carnations covered the snowy
table. After delicious sweet course,
served by Misses Mary Lizzie and
Tena Wise, the bride-elect pulled a
unique Japanese parasol and on her
were showered dainty and beautiful
gifts, which shows the high esteem In
which Miss Bowers is held.
Before leaving the dining hall, an
elegant toast was given by Miss Addle

occasion were tiny Japanese parasols
tied with holly ribbon.

The afternoon, with its pleasant
memories, will linger long with those
who were present.
