On last Friday aftcrnoqn at the
home of Mrs. Claude Christian, on
Durden street, Miss Lorene Anderson
whose marria'ge to Mr. Thomas Ed
ward Carter of Atlanta is the coming
social event of Thanksgiving evening,
at the Methodist church, was the
honoree at a very delightful shower.;
The hostesses were Mesdames Chris-j
tian, Lee, Bland and Adams and the],
invited guests were the members of
the Woman’s Baptist Missionary So
ciety and a few friends.
The house was a bower of exqui
site yellow chrysanthemums and pot
ted plants, effectively used with a
! touch of patriotic color, expressive of
Armistice Day.
In the rear parlors. Misses Janie
Wiggs and Madge Bland served de !
licious orange punch from a hand- j
some howl placed in a hed of golden
chrysanthemums.
Each guest, upon entering, was
] given a bean bag calling for a for
feit of a bean from any one answer
ing any question in the customary
i proposal words of “yes” and “no.”’
In answer toj the postman’s whistle
a large box of packages was received
j with a letter from “Uncle Sam” to the
local postmaster, saying that the
packages were unclaimed, and in cel
ebration of Armistice Day were to be
awarded to the best guesses of their
contents. Miss Anderson drew the
lucky number, and upon opening the
mail, found that it contained many
valuable packages, and discovered in
each the card of a friend.
After the shower, an ice couise of
golden brick cream and cake whs
served.
The bride-to-be was charming in
a gown of black charmeuse trimmed
with shadow lace and moire ribbon.
She wore a handsome black picture
hat and a wrap of American Beauty
velvet, which accentuated her bru
nette loveliness.
