The Catholic Housewarming
Tuesday night the pretty little
priest home of the Catholic church
was thrown wide open to the members
of the church and a few of their
friends
This little home, which has just re-
Gently been completed is little dream
and was particularly so on Tuesday
night with it's party array There
were pretty flowers everywhere. In
the large living room, the bright
bignona was used and in the break
fast room wild vioIets and other
flowers.
This home has been completely
furnished throughout, there are new
rugs, curtains, and other furnishings
that have been supplied by the ladies
of the church
The party on Tuesday night was a
shower and many pretty gifts were
given for the home and also quite a
number of personal gifts for Father
Bremen There were washstands,
bath robes, reading lamps and much
linen, china and silver ware that will
help to furnish this already attractive
little home
There was no formal receiving line
but Father Bremen, Father Bishop,
of Baltimore, and number of the
gentlemen of the church welcomed the
guests and made them feel at home
and showed them over the house.
In the breakfast room the table
which is gift. is most attractive
one, it is over hundred years old
and came from France as is also one
of the beds and dressers. They were
the gifts of Mrs. Delouest and are
quite highly priced.
During the evening coffee and sand
wiches and cake were served by the
ladies of the church. That evening
at the new priests home was a very
pleasant one and will long be re-
membered as an evening of great
pleasure.
