Tennis Week Still
Is a Top Topic
By KATY ATKINS ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE parties for the former Molly O'Dell, whose marriage to John Adams was yesterday, was a personal shower given by Mrs. Frank V. Osborn and her daughter, Janie. Molly’s colors were used in a pink parasol trimmed with
aqua satin bows. The gifts were piled beneath it. They were on the window seat in front of the picture window which made a
perfect setting.
Both the bride and her young hostess chose aqua for their cotton frocks, Aqua candles shed a soft light on the pink flow-
ers in the dining room. Among the guests were the mothers of the bride and bridegroom, Mrs. DeForest O'Dell and Mrs. Ray M. Falls.
