18TH ANNIVERSARY
MR.. AND MRS. HERMAN SIMPSON
CELEBRATE THEIR "SiLk AND
LINEN WEDDING"
The Occasion Being the Largest So
caI Function Ever Held in "Pros
pect Park" the Beautiful Suburb OF
Minneapolis.
When you've had dozen years {
welded bliss

TO celebrate a bit is not amiss.
Wedding days and their anniver-
saries have always been deemed fit
occasions for celebrating; usually with
music and feasting and general good
time. So it was very natural that Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Simpson thought it
would be eminently fit and proper to
celebrate the twelfth anniversary of
theirs, and the result was that their
friends, both far and near, were bid
den to repair to No. II Melbourne ave-
nue. on Thursday evening, Aug. IS, to
celebrate their Silk and Linen We'd
ding"
Although Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson have
not any ocular evidences that they
have endeavOred to obey the biblical
injunction, ''be fruitful and multiply"
this may account for the fact that
they have accumulated a splendid
home in Prospect Park that beauti-
full suburb of Minneapolis. And this
splendid home was the scene of a
splendid gathering of the representa-
tive citizens of the Twin Cities, who
had come in response to their invita-
lions to eat, drink and be merry.
Of course all things had been pre-
pared to celebrate with the proper
eclat, and the result was most graft
flying to the large concourse of their
friends who gathered there as we'll as
to the host and hostess themselves.
The house was brilliantly illuminat-
ed with electricity and tastefully deco
rated, the color scheme being pink,
green and white.
