afternoon for the bride, Mrs. Robert

guests discussed fancy work and
cooking. and each one wrote re-
cipe of some favorite dish. These
we're tied together for a cook book

chance to pass his opinion on
the various good things in the near
future. Nice refreshments were
served.

fairly good figures and fee cream
