BRIDE-ELECT OUTWTTTED;
SHOWERED WITH GIFTS
Sorority Girl Plans Surprise for Her
Greek Letter Sisters, but Tables
Are Turned

On next Saturday, December ID,
Miss Ida Windus, daughter of MIR
and Mrs. Alfred Windus of this city
will become the bride of John 81
Stone of Spokane. Until last Satur-
day the bride-elect attempted to keep
the close approach of the happy event
a profound secret from her friends,
planning an announcement party
for Saturday afternoon as the means
OF breaking the news 10 the members
Of her sorority, the Alpha Chi One
ga. The sorority misses were invit-
ed to spend the afternoon with their
fraternal sister and gathered en-
masse at the Windus home. Every
thing went according to schedule, the
bride-elect the while wondering what
her guests would say when they
came to the ends of the balls of yarn
with which they were tying comforts
and found the dainty cards announc-
ing the approaching nuptials, until
huge box arrived, containing a pro-
fusion of elegant gifts from the sor-
GRITTY and it's members for the bride
to-be
Somehow the glad tidings had
reached the sorority home in advance
of the party and the event was trans
formed from an announcement party
to a shower. The surprised" be-
came the "surprisers" and well
wishes and congratulations, as well
as the we'll selected gifts, were show
cred upon the foiled young lady.
Both Miss Windus and Mr.. Stone
are students of the State College and
the wedding Saturday will come as a
happy close to a college romance.
