brocaded satin which had been worn by
her grandmother, and It was embroid-
cred In pastel shades of cerise, green
and blue. The skirt was very artistic
ally draped and the corsage was adorned
with silver ribbon. The bodice was cut
with V neck and had no sleeves,
A pink tulle sash was worn with the
frock and she carried American Beauty
roses.

hair and very fair skin, and you know
she is quite a finished musician. She
spent last year in New York studying
music. remember hearing her play
at several vf the junior musicales and

TO be given by the Orpheus Mixed Quar-
tet in the Bellevue Stratford the eve
ming of December s. The quartet. as

calling the evening "An Old English

Redding. The Chaplin Memorial Home
for the Blind is the only nonsec :
tartan home in the state, I am told

worthy cause.
