Shower for Miss Lien.

One Of the prettiest and most sue
cessful of the many social events CIV
en- by the Eastern Star was a shower
for Miss Agnes Lien, who is soon to
leave Imperial Valley and who will
become the wife of Calvin Mousseau
of Minneapolis in the fall. The show
er was given at the home of Mrs. A.
w. Swanson, matron of the Star.
The decorations were in yellow and
green. The house was darkened and
the electric lights shining through
amber-tinted globes produced a very
pleasing effect. The sprigs of green
were hung with Cupids which were
kept in constant motion by the cleo
trio fans. The favors were of white
tied with yellow malines. They held
salted nuts. The place cards were
suspended, daintily decorated with
.sunflowers.
In the room where the guests were
received was large bowl of orange
punch thoroughly iced and surrounded
with beautiful punches of Malaga
grapes. Thirty-five guests sat down
to delicious luncheon, after which
two little girls brought in an artist
cally decorated basket and placed il
before the guest of honor. 1t con-
tanned many beautiful gifts in silver
china and linen.
Miss Lien has been a resident OF
Ell Centre for several years and has
lcndeared herself tn all. An efficient
teacher in the public schools, faithful
in church and Sunday school, willing
worker in the Star-she has impressed
all by her many loveable qualities ane
it is with regret they bid her good
bye.
