BATH ROOM
SHOWER SURPRISE

Miss Helen A. Carney was again
happily surprised by her young lady
friends last night, the occasion being
given In honor of the engagement of
Miss Carney to Ralph E. Terrell.
Miss Carney had been rendered an
invitation to enjoy an embroidery tea
at the home of One of her yery dear
friends, Miss Marian Campbell, Atlan-
tic street. She was glad to respond.
When she reached the Campbell home
she was somewhat surprised to find a
number of her best friends present
and all industrious1y engaged in MAX
ing busters. Following this occupa-
tion for time, the young ladies were
invited into another room by their
hostess for the purpose of engaging
in what she was pleased to term a
cutting party.
After the party had gone into the
second room, Miss Carney was invited
to peep under the sofa, and there she
found many mysterious packages all
carefully wrapped and sealed, and
they being brought out in the room,
Miss Carney was handed a pair of
shears and informed she was to be
the sole cutting party.
Surprised Miss Carney shipped the
cords and with trembling hands un-
wrapped this and that package separ-
ately and taking from the paper or
box towels, wash cloths, a beautiful
white framed mirror, a bathrug, pref
ty bath room fixtures, etc. 1t was then
apparent to Miss Carney that she was
the pleased victim of her friends, and
the affair was generous bathroom
shower. 1t was impossible for Miss
Carney to express her appreciation,
but her every action indicated her
pleasure.
Again that Industrious bunch of 'lit-
tie women resumed duster making.
Then there was a happy social game,
more duster making, and then games.
All of these were unique and novel
pastimes.
The dining room was most taste
fully arranged with little blue and
pink hearts with the table delightfully."-
picturesque. The refreshments were
elaborate. The fayors were dainty
wash cloths tied with white ribbon
and each of the guests were urged to
use the favor for the starting of a
Hope Chest" Those present were:
Misses Mildred Munt, Fay Ridgely,
Dorothy Hunt, Alice Garrison, Pauline
Ware, Ella Dennis, Edith Rice, Rebec-
ca Johnson, Hazel Woodruff, Marian
Carney, Helen Carney, Marjorie Camp
bell, Marian Campbell, Mrs. Terrell,
Mrs. Carney, Mrs Campbell.

got ready to set sthesplants out and the
two boxes in which they grew were
placed aside to let them grow some
more before transplanting. The fol-
lowing morning when he woke UP and
looked through a window into the gar
dent the rabbits were contentedly
munching on the soft leaves of the
cabbage plants. He saw that there
was little use in preventing them from
going any farther as they had reached
the limit. The leaves on the plants
had been eaten off to the stems. For
a short time afterwards he wished the
cat had made meal of the rabbits
when they came to the place. He de-
cided to let them live after pleadings
of the boy who has made them his
especial pets and who does not care if
they eat cabbage so long as they thrive
on it.

More than 1,5O0 high-school pupils

Judge Howard Carrow
One juror, Joseph H. Simpson, was
withdrawn from the jury trying the
case yesterday on account of defective
eyesight, which caused his inability TO
see the map of the location which was
used in evidence. Lorenzo A. Adams
was called to the witness stand as the
first witness. He testified that Mr..
Stokes, who drove the car when the
collision occurred. He said Mr.. Stokes
was an experienced and careful driv-
er. He was asked TO give descrip-
ton Of the physical conditions at the
crossing on the railroad where the
accident occurred. He told about the
obstruction to vision which existed
both north and south of the crossing.
In relation to his daughter who was
killed, he said she was IL years old.
She assisted in the housework, helped
to attend to his poultry f1ocks, helping
to feed up, and helped to dress the
poultry for market. She had good
health.
His wife, he said, was Al years OF
age at the time of the accident. She
had been school teacher. Asked as
TO her wifely and motherly duties
about the home, Mr. Bacon interposed
objections to almost every question.
These objections were nearly all over
ruled by Judge Carrow.
These questions were for the pur-
pose of establishing claims for dam

A certain Bridgeton youth and maid

A Bridgeton man early in the sum-
mer procured two tame rabbits for
the purpose of providing amusement
for his six-year-old boy and giving
him something to do when out of school

the streets. The rabbits got along all
right, but it required constant vigi-

any rate the bunnies skidded to shell

as their natural enemy. 1t was nee
essary to watch the wire cage all the
time that the gate was open. fearing
that the cat might stealthily cause
havoc among its occupants, but after
a few weeks the cat and the rabbits
became friendly and began to romp
together within the enclosure, which
was a small garden. The door of the
cage has since been open and the
rabbits ran around as they pleased.
Early in the summer the owner of the
property purchased some young cab
