SHOWER PARTY
rendered Miss Sadie Watson in
Honor of Approaching Marriage

The rest room of the adjutant
generals department was recently
the scene of happy gathering of
Miss Sadie Watson, a member of the
department who is to be married in
the near future. 1t was a complete
surprise being disguised by the dedi-
cation of the new rest room and
which also turned out to be a real
shower party.
Miss Watson was made guest of
honor at the feast. A miniature
household set decorated her place to
remind her of the future and a great
fat wishbone on her plate was a
symbol of all the good wishes be-
slowed on her. A delicious chicken
supper with all the FILINGS was
served, interrupted only by sudden
fit of coughing which forced Miss
Doris Toward to leave the room for
relief. She returned shortly with a
large box which she explained had
been given her by the mail man. 1t
seems that a great shower had come
up suddenly and the mail man had
boxed some of it up for Miss Watson.
The box contained dainty gifts of
silk and lace and Miss Watson's hap
piness was good to see.
The evening passed happily with
music and the usual good fun and
Sadie Watson was sent home ladened
down with wishes that all would be
sunshine and happiness in the flu
ture.
