at the home of her sister, Mrs. Rus
sell Hoy, 535 He'll St., win Mrs.
Hoy and Mrs. j. j. Griggs as host

The rooms were very attractivcly
decorated with zinias and other cut
flowers, with color of pink and
green prevailing. Dainty motif min
iature umbrellas of pink rose petals,
with tiny cupid doll for handles
were given each guest. Later in the
evening the gilded hearts hanging
from these were drawn by the bride,
each having a verse of poetry tell
ing her where to nunt for gift.
The main diversion of the even
ing was a musical questionable, the
prize being awarded Mrs. d. j. Me
Cristy.
Refreshments were also in the
pink and green scheme.
Those present to wish the bride
happiness were: Mesdames; Winnie
