For Mrs. Mae Ratcliff

real surprise last Thursday even­
ing when a group of her friends
came to her home on the occasion

Ratcliff opened her shower of gift
packages, after which birthday
cake and coffee were served to
the guests.
Those attending the party were:
Mrs. H. H. Frank, Mrs. W. T.
Graves, Mrs. Bernard Killingberg,
Mrs. Roy Jones, Mrs. Lee Akers,
Mrs. Wm. Chadwick, Mrs. Bert
Davis, Mrs. Sam Davis and son
Gary, Mrs. A. L. DeHart, Mrs.
Henry Meiwes, Mrs. Edwin Jus­
tice, Mrs. Anna Partridge and
Mrs. F. A. Blount.
Those who were unable to at­
tend but sent gifts were Mrs. A.
L. Sh^ton, Mrs. Elizabeth Wal­
ters, Mrs. Ernest Graham, Mrs. A.
C. Blount and Mrs. Harry Eck-
land.
The straight and narrow path
is wide enough for its traffic.

Birthday Observance
Miss Faye Millis, bride-elect
of Bill Sword, whose marriage
will be an event of next Sunday
afternoon, June 24, has been hon­
ored guest at two showers during
the past two weeks.
On Thursday, June 7, the ladies
of the Christian Women’s Fellow­
ship were hostesses for a miscel­
laneous shower in the parlors of
the First Christian church which
was attended by about 35 ladies
and girls of the church. Several
games were played with Mrs.
Alice Mills and Miss Patricia
Hickman winning prizes.
After the gifts were opened
and displayed, refreshments were
served with Mrs. Harry Woodruff
pouring coffee, Mrs. L. L. Wells
serving punch, and Mrs. Herman
Wood and Mrs. Olaf Jacobson
serving cake.
Favors of small umbrellas were
given each guest who in turn
wrote messages of good wishes,
bits of advice or a favorite recipe
in an autograph album which was
presented to Fays.
The following Monday night,
June 11, Miss Millis's fiance in­
veigled her into a visit to the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Selwyn
Graves, where she found a group
of her girl friends assembled for
a kitchen shower in her honor.
Co-hostesses with Mrs. Graves for
the affair were Miss Shirlee Vike,
Miss Jeanette DeRoia and Mrs.
Gene Foster.
Games were played with Mrs.
Robert Sword and Miss Carol
Sword winning prizes. The hon­
or guest also drew the door prize.
The hostesses had prepared a
clothes basket which was filled
with staple grocery items to stock
the couples kitchen, and each
guest brought a can of food with
their kitchen utensil. And, be­
lieve it or not, all the labels were
left on!
For refreshments which were
served to the 11 guests, two heart
shaped cakes bore the inscriptions,
Faye and Bill. With these, the
hostesses served jello, punch and
coffee.
