Euterpe Girls

A highly enjoyable afternoon was
spent Friday when the Euterpe Girls
gave a delightful hose and tandker-
hief shower to the br~ide-to-be, Miss
Hazel Larrabee, at the home of Miss
Hopkins and Mrs. Watt. The long
spacious gallery vas decorated in cut
lowers and trailing vines. Graceful
ly suspended between the gallery
columns were pretty baskets draped
in long sprays of Confederate jas
nine and filled with sweet flowers.
Upon a small table rested a flower
pot, in which were beautiful bloom
ng Easter lilies. At one end of the
gallery were vase filed with pink
flowers and the other end was lat
ticed in with e~vergreens and vines,
making an attractive bower behind
the piano, upon which were cut glass
bowls filed with beautiful nasturtium
blossoms. About five o'clock the
guests began to arrive and were well
coined by Miss Hopkins and Mrs.
Watt and taken to the small table on
the lawn prettily decorated in trail
ing vines and flowers, where Miss
Nell Lacour and Miss Quintilla Nor
gan gracefully presided, serving de-
licious fruit punch. The guests were
then taken to the other table on the
lawn, upon which was a dainty book,
pen and ink. Here Mrs. Montgomery
and Miss Claudia Upton had each
guest to write In this book a recipe
for the bride-elect to use as a souve-
mir of this happy occasion. The
guests were then ushered to the
porch, where the much appreciated
musical program was opened by Mrs.
VIM. Montgomery. rendering a beau
tiful selection OF the piano. Miss Pa
ola Mouton sang in her usual sweet
voice II Love You Truly" then fol-
lowed a beautiful piano selection by
Miss Mary Bell Griffin. Mrs. Owens
In such q clean, sweet voice, (
sang Il Cannot Live Without You" |
causing much praise. As the last
notes were sung, a postmans's whis-
tie was heard In the distance and as
each moment brought this sound
closer and closer, the guests began
to watch with excited curiosity, won
dering what this whistle meant.
When the little boy postman reached
the front gate dressed in a white
blouse and long white pants with a
large U. s. mail bag on his shoulder
hlled to overlooking with letters and
packages for Miss Hazel Larrabee,
everybody was wondering who this
little three year old boy was. When
he reached the door steps still whist
ling the postman's call, everybody
recognized from under the postman's
hat, little Aileen LeRosen, who look
ed SO cunning dressed in boys attire.
Miss Hazel Larrabee took so much
pleasure in opening each package
and admiring the lovely gifts from the
Euterpe Girls and friends. At the
conclusion delicious refreshments
were served and by special request

selections and Mrs. Watt sang a
couple of catchy songs. Those in at
