MISCELLANEOUS SHOWER

A miscellaneous shower last eve
ming was a complete but charming
surprise to Mr. and Mrs. Earl Crosby,
a recent groom and bride. This COM
pliment was given at Mrs. Anderson's
residence, where Mr.. and Mrs. Crosby
are making their home. and Mrs. An
del son, the Philathea class of the
Baptist church and the employees at
Franks store were the makers of one
OF the merriest and to say the least,
most practical occasions of the sea-
son, for the gifts received by Mr.. and
Mrs. Crosby were of a great variety
and most useful. With each present
there was a clever piece of poety,
which were read aloud by the hon
orees, evoking much laughter and
fun.
Then music was INDUCED in and
those entertaining served refresh
ments of ice cream and cake, which
had been prepared for the occasion,
and during the entire evening punch
was enjoyed.
This honor paid to Mr.. and Mrs.
Crosby last evening showed the high
esteem in which they are held. Mrs
Crosby is a member of the Philathea
class and for several years competent
ly filled the position of cashier at
Franks.

ing event has been received with much
cordial interest as the bride-to-be is
a native Ocalan, a member of a prom
inent family and by her attractive
personality has made scores of friends
wherever she is known, and while she
will be showered with the best wishes
of every one, there is deep regret as
hr marriage will take her elsewhere.
On account of the recent grief Of
the McIver family, Mrs. Frink made
this affair very simple, but the Oc-
casion was pleasant and congenial,
as the guests included friends of long
standing of both the hostess and hon
Gree, who have been chums since
childhood. Mrs. Frink's visit to the
city at this time is especially for the
wedding
