 One of the most novel features of the nuptia week for the bride oc- cured Tuesday morning, when, in answer to the door bell, she hurried out on the front porch, where she was greeted and delightfully."- surprised by number of her girl friends standing on the pavement at the front gate, who showered her with packages con- talnng various appropriate remem- brances of linen.
