COOPER-FRANKBERG WEDDING.
Pre-Nuptial Events to The Cooper
Frankberg Wedding.

Tuesday afternoon Of last week,
| Mrs. O. S. Clifford and Mrs. l.. +.
| Tillotson entertained a company OF
honor Of NJ ISIS Mary Cooper, who on
Wednesday of this week became the
bride of Walter Frankberg OF Fergus
Falls, MINI.
The dining room was decorated in
Miss Cooper's favorite color, pink.
Pink carnations and pink shaded can
dies were used in the table decora-
tions and each guest found a dainty
place card with a beautiful hand
painted rose. Suspended above the
table was a pink parasOl from the
edge Of which appeared many little
| ribbons. Just before the last course
| Of the three course dinner was served,
each guest Was told to pull one Of
these ribbons and upon doing so found
a dainty little pink and white apron
attached thereto, and pinned to each
was a verse from the bride-to-be, to-
gether with the date of the wedding,
October 18th. The aprons were to he
used by the young ladies present upon
| that date in serving the w.dding din
ner. Oct. 18th had double meaning,
it being the anniversary Of Judge and
Mrs. Gitford's wedding,
The color scheme was carried out
in the elegant menu served and it
proved a very charming and happy
occasion for all present.
Melvin Opperud gave a six O'Clock
dinner Wednesday evening Oct. 18th,
to the K. O. T. G. club in honor Of
Miss Cooper. The K. o. II. CS. were
organized by her seven years ago and
the club was composed of members of
her Sunday school class, their first
meeting being held at Melvin OPP
perud's home. Miss Cooper has been
the inspiration Of this club and the
boys are all loyal to her and many
happy occasions will long be remem-
bered by both. The boys rendered
her a tin and granite shower and in
some way it leaked out that the day
was one of double significance, being
the hosts birthday. The boys took
Melvin completely by surprise and
presented him with a silver clothes
brush. A most delightful time was
had.
Friday evening Miss Cooper invited
the G. G. G. Club OF which she is a
member, to her home and let the girls
take a peep into her dowery chest.
The chest is one that Miss Cooper's
grandmother had when she was a
bride and it was made by Miss Cooper's
great grandfather. After the myster-
les which were hidden in its depths
we're brought forth and duly admired,
refreshments were served and the
young ladies departed for their homes
to dream Of chests and weddings.
Saturday evening the Misses Clark,
Gehon and Menor gave a handker-
chief shower for Miss Cooper at the
home of Miss Menor, only members of
the G. G. G. club were present. Dur
ing the evening Miss Cooper was pre-
scented with a book filled with rem
iniscences of her life, edited and H.
Illustrated by members of the club.
She was the recipient of many dainty
handkerchiefS and hosiery and was al
so presented with a souvenir spoon
from the club. Each guest was given
an envelope and upon opening it found
a heart shaped card upon which was a
snap shot Of the bride-to-be and her
tiance, which was a complete sur
prise to Miss Cooper. A three course
supper was served, the decoration in
the dining room and supper favors be-
ing pink and white. The club will
miss Miss Cooper from their midst
but a host of good wishes follow her
to her new home.
