Shower for Miss RentZ.

Quite an enjoyable social affair
was the miscellaneous shower given
in honor of Miss Kate Rentz, the
popular and attractive music teach
er of the Walterboro high school, by
Mrs. David Black, on Tuesday after
noon, announcing the engagement OF
Miss Rentz to Mr.. ]. J. Heard. the
wedding to take place the latter part
of June.
The guests began to assemble at
4:3O o'clock, and were met at the
door by Mrs. Black and Miss Jones,
who presented them to Miss Rentz
and Misses Black and Aver, of BAN
berg, other guests of the occasion.
Delicious fruit punch was served
by Misses Marie Saunders and Edith
Black, after which the gam e OF
hearts dice was enjoyed for an hour
A sweet course, consisting of ice
cream and cake, was served.
The entrance of the washer Wom-
an with large basket of CLOTHES
on her head was of interest to all,
when it was discovered that the bas-
ket contained a number of gifts for
the bride-elect. The cutting of the
brides cake was quite an interesting
part of the afternoon entertainment.
Miss Maggie Marvin cut the ring, and
Miss Kathleen de Treville the "old
maids thimble."
Miss Rentz, by her charming per-
sonality and beautiful traits of char
acter. has endeared herself to each
and all of the people Of WATERFORD,
who have had the pleasure of know
ing her. 1t is with feeling of sim
cere regret and best wishes that her
friends bid her good-bye.-Walter-
boro Press and Standard.
