One of the most striking events of
the season was the pretty shower
which occurred last evening at the
Of ri IN,
or of their friend, Miss Mary Motor
who is to be married in the near fu-
ture. The home was daintily deco
rated in cupids and hearts, carried
out in the pink and white. The din
ing room was specially pretty, hay-
ing large pink bell tied to the chan
delier from which extended pink
streamers to the corners of the ia
BILE, in the center of which was what
appeared to be a large white cake
with the names of the bride and
groom-to-be written across the top
in large pink letters and around this
danced tiny pink cupids amid a pro-
fusion of flowers and ferns. The
rooms were lighted throughout with
pink Japanese lanterns. At about
$3.50 Miss Motor, amid shower of
pink and white hearts, cut the large
cake and found it to contain many
beautiful and useful presents. The
remainder of the evening was spent
in games and music. Refreshments
