BRIDAL. SHOWER FOR
MISS SHEWMAKE

One of the delightful prenuptial
affairs given in honor of Miss Evelyn
Shewmake was the nAecellaneous
shower of Wednesday al moon with
Mrs. Mark Mathis and Miss Quintette
Prentiss as joint hostesses at the
home of Mrs. Mathis.
Thirty guests were invited and on
arrival each was asked to contribute
menu for the bride, the collection
forming a souvenir book. A tray
was then passed with fragments OF
different materials from which each
guest drew at random. Given a
needle and thread she was then asked
to make from her assortment some
article in miniature, adapted to the
needs of the bride. For the daintiest
completed article of linkerie in this
contest Mrs. ]. A. Evans won the
prize, dainty handmade handker-
chief, the witty presentation speech
being made by Miss Louise Smith.
Delightful refreshments of mint
ice and chicken sandwiches were
served and as favor all except the
honoree f5ceived candy corsage.
At this .ncture package was left
! at the door by special delivery for
Miss Shewmake. This was florists
box with the indication of brides
bouquet. And such it proved to be
though some Of the flowers and buds
when unfolded proved to be attrac-
tive things in line nor dainty toilet
articles. The bouquet was quite
large affair and showered, too, though
some of the streamers had small gifts
in lieu of blossoms. Real shasta dali
sizes and maiden hair fern were inter
spersed to give the real effect. All
pronounced it a most clever method
of presenting the gifts. Miss Shew-
make was made to feel the love and
esteem of her assembled friends by
the array of lovely and useful pres
ents given her.
Those invited were: Mesdames
Bell Evelyn, C. F. Shewmake, Elmer
Waits, Ernest Hanger, j. j. Pryor,
