A Pleasing Social
Pre.Nuptial Affair

one OF the most delightful of the
several prenuptial functions accord.
ed Miss Erma Norvell was that
given In her honor by Mrs. W F
johnson yesterday afternoon at her
pleasant home on South Florida ave.
nue.. The house is ideally ADAPTED
to entertaining, and the whole re-
ception suite was beautifully dec
GRATED with ferns and cut flowers
carrying out the color scheme of
green and white.
AS the guests arrived they were
met at the door by Master Edwin
Thomas. Mrs. Johnson was assist
ed in entertaining by Mrs. j. B.
Thomas and Mrs. Alexander. The
whole gathering was brilliant ar
ray OF prettily gowned girls. In the
center of the parlor, placed on
chairs. was comfort in frame
ready to be tackled. All were soon
busy with thread and needle, the
time passing so swiftly in animated
chat and merriment that the comfort
was soon finished, pretty dainty
pink affair which Mrs. Johnson pre-
sented to the fair honoree. What
more pleasant reminder in after
years of this charming bevy of girl
friends than this piece of handwork.
A feature creating much merriment
and laughter was when a cat was
/: brought in and placed on the COM
fort, the girls forming circle
around the comfort, taking hold and
shaking vigorously to see at which
the cat would jump, as, according to
an old tradition, this would indicate
who among them would be the next
bride. This proved to be Miss Dor
othy Bates, so wedding bells will
continue to ring. Miss Frances
Youngs and Miss Ruby Turner con-
tributed much to the pleasure of the
afternoon by their skillful rendition
of several musical selections. The
punch bowl, placed on table in the
reception hall, and nesting in a bed
of flowers, was presided over by two
charming little girls-Mary Watson
and Mary Louise Johnson-who
served the delicious beverage during
the afternoon Mrs. johnson, as
sisted by Mrs. Thomas and Mrs
Alexander, then served a dainty
. salad course with sandwiches
pickles, olives and cocoa. At the
edge of each plate on one side was
placed a dainty bunch of pink
geraniums, a bunch of white one:
distinguishing the plate Of the bride
to be. This brought to a conclusion
one of the prettiest and most de-
lig htful social favors rendered Miss
Norvell whose approaching wedding
| is an event of much interest to 6
wide circle of friends. The guests
then departed with many assurances
| to their hostess of most pleasant
afternoon. Those enjoying the oc
casion were Misses Erma Norvell
Dorothy Bates, Laura Southland, Ed
it'll Tomlinson, Ada Patrick, Gene

F. H. Eigen, chef for the past sum-
mer at the Hotel Del Otero, Lake
Minnetonka, took charge of the
kitchen of the Minneapolis Athletic
Club Gold Commercial Club on the
first of September, and being selected
to fill the position of chef at the M.
A.-C. is an evidence of Mr.. Eigen's
high ability and qualifications.
Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, and
serving his time at his chosen pro-
fession in the Park hotel in Dussel-
dorf and the restaurant in the Royal
geological Gardens of Berlin, he
severed his connections there and
went to France and England, and
worked in some of the prominent
hotels of these countries. Having
disposition to see the world, he final
ly landed in China and Japan, and
after working in the hotels of the
Orient, he made his way to this coun-
try.
SlHCt coming TO TIE OHhtcu StdtCS
he has held positions of prominence
in his profession at the, Waldorf
Astoria, New York City; also as as
sistant chef at the Hotel Rexmere of
New York, chef at the Hotel Nelson,
Rockford, ILL.,, and the New Cataract,
Sioux Falls, S. d.
+ Considering the good record made
at the M. "A. c. by chef Eigen, where
Negro walters are employed under
the efficient headwaiter Mr.. D. E.
Beasley, it is believed that the entire
culinary force will be transferred the
new building, where there would be
no question of friction between the
workers of different races. Chef
Eigen is one of many white chefs in
this city who find it agreeable and
economic to labor with men, regard
less of color.
