nue..
The reception hall, library and din

simple decorations of flowers and
ferns. The handsomely appointed
dining room was exceedingly pretty
on this occasion, the decorations be-
ing all in white, and reminded all
present that bride-to-be was among
the guests. The central decoration
was a miniature bride, perched over
a wonderfully pretty brides cake,
which later on was cut by the guests.
The guests were met on the porch
by Mrs. c. r. Tydings, Jr., and Mrs.
Harry Walters. Mrs. William Hook
er and Mrs. Alfred Beck of Fort Lau-
derdale had a pleasant word for ev-
eryCne, and invited them into the re-

ually pretty wearing a lavender or
candle frock and gold lace hat. :.
Punch was served from a bowl
which was hidden in bank of bright
colOred naSturtiums, and was passed
by Misses Elizabeth Hooker and
Kathleen Leitner.
During the afternoon that sweet
and dainty little Lucy Johnson of Pa
latka entertained the guests with her
dancing and little songs. Mrs H. NJ
Hampton also favored the guests with
several vocal numbers Miss Hay
craft meantime was enjoying the oc-
casion simply as reception given in
her honor, but the other guests, who
had been in the secret so long, waited
eagerly for the browning event of the
affair, which marked it a "miscellan-
eous shower, "one of the most delight
full things that can be planned for a
bride-elect, when beautiful basket
decorated with hearts, cupids, flowers
and tulle was brought in and placed
at the honoree's feet she was the
only one surprised. and when her eyes
met the large hamper placed before
her CONSERVATION was evident When
this was unpacked it proved to be a
veritable treasure chest, yielding
most generously of all kinds of lin
gerle, toilet articles, cut glass and
many other pretty things so dear to a
brides heart. Following the inspec-
ton of the many beautiful gifts,
brought by this June shower" re-
freshments were served in the dining
room, and the cutting of the brides
cake was enjoyed.
This was one of the largest and
prettiest of the many parties Civ
en- in Ocala during the week.

the spirit of youth, as was demon

dance? Not bit of it! In fact these
happy young people said this was just
the kind of weather they needed for
dance (now who says youth is not
blind to weather?) Music was fur
nished by the Victrola, and dancing
was enjoyed until a late hour. The

were loath to leave. Mr. and Mrs

people, served refreshing ice course.
