The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-05

A delightful setting of varied color spring flowers artistically arranged in the spacious gardens of the Stoughton home in Thomaston formed a fitting background for the large garden party given yesterday by the local chapter of the Ameri- can Association of University Wom- en. Bridge playing was enjoyed on the terrace with the beautiful rose arbor forming an appropriate en- trance for models who displayed ape parel for beach wear, morning, af- ternoon, dinner and evening dresses and children's apparel, each model adding to the glamour of the after noon in an individual manner.
 Groups of tables for card playing were arranged on each side of the terrace and tea was served by girl pages attired in colorful garden frocks. The servers were daughters of the members and included: Bar bara Rodenbach, Rachel Rodenbach, Clara Chittenden, Betsy Coe, Bar bara Chamberlain, Ann Foster, Bar bara Chase, Louise Gulliver, Rhoda Barrows and Virginia Tappin.
 Features of the party included white elephant sale, homemade foods, yarns and knitting supplies and garden supplies, each exhibit being arranged so as to add to the distinctive atmosphere which the setting created.
 The interior of the Stoughton home also played an important part in the success of the event. Inter- esting and colorful displays were arranged about the home, each room being devoted to one collection. A large variety of Japanese articles, including kimonas, pajamas and nu- merous smaller articles were display ed in one room and paper materials of all sorts formed another of the important exhibits. A rnarinette dis- play was also shown. One of the most popular rooms proved to be that oc- cupied by Emily Sophie Brown in which she dealt with hand writing analysis, palmistry and fortune tell ing.
