unattended, except by the flower girl,
little Dorothy Over of Joplin, Mo-,
niece of the bride. The brides gown
was of white crepe de chine, trimmed
with venice lace and pearls. The
brides only ornament was a beauti-
full diamond cavalier, gift of the
groom. The going away gown was of
brown velour with hat to match. An
elegant three course wedding lunch
con was served by Mrs. Della Stew

by Mrs. Violet Thurston, Miss Ruth

Last Saturday afternoon the home
of Miss Ruth Mills was the scene of
a very pleasant Thanksgiving party.
About twenty-five guests were en-
tertained, the guest of honor being
Miss Lois Mills. The rooms were
prettily decorated with pine and
hemlock boughs and bitter sweet
berries. Two great bouquets of pine
and bitter-sweet displayed an artists
touch. One feature of the entertain
ment was for each guest to make as
many words as possible out of the
word, Thanksgiving" Mrs. Leafie
Warren won in this word contest
having made about ninety words.
The favor was a tiny Thanksgiving
turkey. However, the main feature OF
the afternoon was Miss Mills hunt
for parcels. Slips were handed her
and she was to hunt for parcels as
indicated by each slip. Many useful
and beautiful gifts were found. Miss
Ruth served very delicious lunch
con at five o'clock. The place cards
were tiny leaves tied with a bunch
of bright red bittersweet.
Don't forget the Christmas sale to
be held in the basement of the

noon, December 9. Everyone is cor
daily invited. Tell your friends and
all come and enjoy the afternoon.
