A MASON SHOWER

There was beautiful ripple on the
even tenor Of our social surface on
Friday afternoon of May ii, when
Mrs. w. A. Somervill, assisted by her
capable daughter, Miss Mary Lottie,
entertained with miscellaneous
shower given in honor of our bride-to-
be, Miss Susie Cothran, who is to en-
ter the mystic circle Of matrimony on
Thursday evening, May II, 1917.
The unseasonably cold weather was
overcome by the warmth of the glow
ing hearts of those present. After a
few moments Of pleasantly indoors,
the jolly guests were invited into the
flower garden, where they found a
unique floral well in which hung the
tabled "old oaken bucket. As the
girls sang the dear old song, the bride
drew the bucket from the well. No
sparkling water did that bucket con-
tain, but many presents, both beauti-
full and useful, were drawn up. Each
present held a card telling Susie how
to manage husband.
After the shower was over, the mer-
ry band was served with delightful
ices and other enticing dainties.
If the Shower" afternoon is to be
type Of our bride-elect's married life,
it will, indeed, be bright and happy
one. Reluctantly we said goodbye to
our charming hostesses to await the
coming Of the great event" Of the
18th. A FRIEND.

MOTHERS DAY AT FIRST
PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Mothers Day was observed in a
most fitting manner at the First Pres
byterian church Sunday morning. The
church was decorated for the occasion
with white and red roses and carna-
tions, and many a flower, emblematic
of the day and in honor both of living
mothers and those gone on before,
was worn by members Of the large
congregation. The musical program
carried out was also fitting, many Of
the old hymns so much loved by de-
parted mothers being sung with rare
sweetness by the choir, bringing back
to many the sweetest memories Of
mother and other days.
The pastor, Rev. r. P. Walker,
preached strong and fitting sermon,
taking his text from Isaiah 66-13, "As
one whom his mother comforteth, so
will / comfort YOU.
The entire service blended together
in splendid tribute to mothers gener-
ally, and many were moved to tears
by the dear old hymns and the words
Of the preacher as he spoke in elo-
quent terms of that best friend of
mankind, Mother. All left the church
feeling greatly edited by the beauti-
full services.
