French, Mr.. and Mrs whitney L. French's
daughter, gave a novelty kitchen shower
for Miss Helen Sanders, who is to be mar

showered with everything from frying pans
to the latest thing in egg beaters, for there
were thlrty-one guests there. Afterward
there was an informal dance and then
came a very important surprise. When
every one was seated around the dining
table pink ribbons that hung from the
ceiling were pulled and whirl OF rose
leaves and tiny white cards fell cut OF

Rush Facker, Jr And my how happy
