Miscellaneous Shower.
Dear Miss Lee: viii you please give me
some suggestion for a miscellaneous shower
to be given on Valentines Day for a bride
to be1-E. N.
Hearts cut from red pasteboard
and strung on red twine should
make a very pretty and simple
decoration. If you wish to use
flowers for that purpose I would
suggest red roses or carnations.
Hearts should be used in every con-
ceivable manner both because of
the day and the fact that the en-
tertainment is for a bride to be.
You might hang a. caldron on a
tripod and attach three very large
cardboard hearts to form a side
covering for the caldron. In this
can be placed the gifts for the
shower. Plain nut dishes can also
be frightened by encircling them
with cardboard hearts. You can
purchase candies and ice cream
which carry out these Valentines

cakes may be cut with a heart

fact that nnrrn1a nf O

it was a kiss that awakened the
sleeping beauty.
More than that, there is nearly
always a special congeniality be-

, common root of their blood and en-
vironment. They have the same
tastes, and beliefs, and have been
raised in the same traditions, and so
il is no wonder that they mutually
