the beautifully gowncd ladies came
laden with their arms full Of grand
and useful gifts, from kitchen 10 i've

until two tables were stacked high,
10 say nothing of the entire sphco
around them on the floor lay dozens
Of presents. When all tho guests
had gathered we became impatient
Of iurse, then decided quickly TO
send for Alice, 40 Mrs. +. NJ. Con.

out on a search which proved unsuc-
ccssful. 20 find the wandering

into the front door and was met by
Mrs. Wolfarth, with her sweet smil-

looked in perfect amazement. Mrs:
Wolffarth took her by the arm, led
her in and said 20 her, "All in this
corner by these tables, everything
Is yours. with the exception Of the
bride and groom" In the center
of the largest table we had placed
two large dolls dressed 70 represent
the parties showered, which were
so suggestive of reality. The house
was beautifully and tastefully decor
ated with many bowls and vases
filled with cut flowers carrying ont
the color schemes Of yellow, white
and blue The draperies used were
of yellow and white moline, which
was SO artistically arranged on the
chandeliers and over the largest
tables laden with the gifts Ia form
an arch under which stood the min

their lovely girl.sh gracious manner
How sweet the first bride from
this society crowd did express her
thanks, first in expressions of
laughter, then 10 tears Of joy After
looking each pift over carefully,
she then asked. MAY / go get B.ll?'
10 which we gladly gave our con-
sent. She thought Bill would be-
surprised, but he had been put Wise
and he, like most men, kept this
secret from her, although he has our
sympathy. for we feel assure that
the pressure must have been very
great. Mrs. JonnSimpson was go
nice to give us several Of her choice
piano selections Miss Ena Everton,
one Of the girls who recently has
been taken into this crowd, having
moved here TO make Lubbock her
