The guest at honor, the last to draw, found her ribbon laden with parcels, little and big, a shower of useful, beautiful and valuable souvenirs from her associates. Each guest was then requested to write her favorite cooking recipe. The papers were collected, made ifito book form, placed in a dainty and artistically bound cover, and presented to the bride. The color and scheme of the evening was delightfully evidenced in the refreshmehts, cakes, coffee, a confection and individual molds of ice cream, a pink heart, surmounted by a tiny white enpid- At the time of departure a shower qf petals greeted Miss Greene, indicative of a pleasant, thornless path through life. .
