The custom of putting on new
clothes for Easter is very ancient
and is common to the great festivals
of all religions. On the central feast
of the Moslem year it is considered
absolutely necessary for every man
and woman to wear clothes. The
Easter dress and the Easter hat of
modern times, so widely advertised
by our city merchants are therefore
not in any way an incongruity, but
emphasize the spirit of the day quite
as the Easter egg, which is supposed
to typify the germ of resurrection
of life. Easter morning signifies
forever that our best ideal, even
though slain and buried by the enc
mics of all goodness, cannot be kept
in the grave.
While society was not exactly sur
prised at the announcement of the
engagement of two of the Capes
most popular young people, it was
greatly pleased as both Miss Vaster-
ling and Mr.. Charles Himmelberger
are favorites in the social set of our
city. The engagement was announced
Saturday afternoon by Miss Vaster-
ling at her home on Sprigg street,
when she entertained at cards for
her cousin Miss Pauline Gressel
of Webster Groves. Bridge was en-
joyed during the afternoon and after
the refreshments were served, Miss
Katherine Himmelberger passed dainty
corsage bouquets of rainbow sweet
peas to each guest and hidden in
the flowers were two tiny hearts
suspended on pink satin ribbons,
with the initials of the bride-elect
and her fance and June 1914. This
announcement naturally brought forth
much enthusiasm and many good
wishes for this charming young lady
and the wedding in June will undoub-
teddy be an event eagerly looked
forward to by Cape Girardeau society.
Those who were present were
Mesdames Harry Himmelberger, Ivan
Hall, Fred Wood, Misses Mary Koch
titzky, Irene Williams, Regina Friant,
