be. They wanted some kind of a jolly
affair that would be somewhat differ
emit from the usual shower, as all were
going to give rather costly wedding
gifts, as the groom was a minister
and going to take his wife to a far
away western missionary field. Each
girl brought bowl and a spoon and
such a variety. They delegated two
of the girls to do the buying SO as to
hate as few duplicates as possible
1t was an afternoon thimble party and
each brought one dish towel to hem,
also for the briae-to-be. Then one by
one the bowls and spoons were
brought in by small brother of the
hostess When tea was served the
