Announcement Luncheon

Saturday. Mrs. A. Sine and Miss Sine entertained at lunch con in honor of the Misses Mary Collins, Minna Missing and Elsie Hayes. all brides-elect.
 The affair was one of many surprises and was most enjoy able.
 Shasta daises decorated the table and helped carry out the color scheme of white and gold. Hearts in the same color were strung from the chandeliers and bore the monograms of the be- trothed couples.
 In the center of the table a miniature ship 'Matrimony" sailed on peaceful sea and [ carried carpo of daisies, hearts and secrets. Smaller ships des- ignating places, were moored by golden ropes to tiny posts hidden in the green along the edge of the sea.
 Cleverly concealed under a covering of daisies and green foliage was the first course; a fruit cocktail, while throughout the luncheon the courses were served in original style. The ice cream was attractive in tiny baskets of cake, the handles of which were decorated with gild- ed wi: :hbones and white ribbons. ] Between courses the time flew merrily disclosing the secrets of the table and the ship. The billings were found to contain prophecies and character sketch es of all present. But the great. est surprise was the message borne by the ship 'Matrimony' which was disclosed by the pulling of it's overflowing cargo of hearts to which were attached double hearts announcing the engagement of Miss Elsie ReeC Hayes to MT. J. P. Roberts This called forth great applause as it was so unexpected, anc later brought showers of rice.
 A bridal cake was then sci before the guests of honor anC cut by Miss Hayes, much amuse
