MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER
FOR MISS BLAKE

Charming in every detail was the
affair yesterday afternoon at the
residence of Mrs. C.. r. Tydings in
which Miss Annie Davis compliment
ed Miss Irma Blake. whose marriage
to Mr.. Clinton Ward Efinger will
take place next Tuesday afternoon.
AS the guests arrived they were
greeted at the veranda by Miss Collie
Clark and little Miss Elizabeth Will
Jams, Mrs. Tydings and Mrs. E. G.
Peek introducing them to an informal
receiving line in the reception hall,
which included Mrs. Edward Tucker,
an October bride. Miss Ohm Izora
Bonner of Texas, who is spending the
winter with her sister, Mrs. Howard
Clark, and Mrs. C. r. Tydings Jr.
Punch was served in the reception
hall, where asparagus fern used in
profusion and vases of roses provided
the decorations, the punch bowl being |
presided over by Miss Cecil Hadsock.
Mrs. j. Harry Walters presented the
guests to the bridal party, who re-
ceived in the parlor. This included
the hostess, the bride-elect and her
otker attendants. Miss Music Bullock
and little Elizabeth Dickson. 1t was
matter of regret that Miss Caroline
Harriss, who is to be one of the at
tendants, was i'll and unable to be
pI esent, as was also little Josephine
Trantham, who will be the ring bear
er at the wedding next Tuesday. In
this room the color scheme of red
was carried out by festoons of small
red hearts hanging from the corners
of the room to the chandelier. which
was twined with aspasagus fern. The
mantel was banked with fern, and a
cut glass vase of red carnations added
the touch of color. When the guests
had assembled, a white basket trim
med with red hearts was brought to
Miss Blake, who was seated under the
chandelier, by little Elizabeth Will
Jams. The guests had been requested
to write an original verse to accom-
peny the gifts. which were of varied
character of beauty and usefulness,
and the verses which were read by
Miss Blake, afforded much amuse-
ment. Accompanying a rolling pin
deliberately tied up with pink ribbon,
was the following. which elected great
applause:
This small gift bring to thee
And it will most useful be,
In your kitchenette,
Preparing some good things
That may be 'et.
Should storms arise,
Clinton / would advise
To clean the track
And dare not dictate
Lest his dear pate
Should get whack.
And everybody present had ment-
al vision of Miss Blake in the role
OF maggie Jiggs."

ical selections. Mrs. B. F. Condor

charming manner singing "Estima-
:. tion," an autographed copy of which
