Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 74, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 December 1910 — A Wash Day Shower. [ARTICLE]

A Wash Day Shower.

A clever notion Tor a girl who wants to entertain in honor of a bride to be is a wash day shower. The gifts that are brought to the shower need not all be suitable for use on wash day, but should be among the household articles that go to the tub and bence would be appropriate to be hung on a clothesline.*, ' ' 7

The girl for whom the shower i 3 given is ushered into the parlor in whieh the clothesline is suspended after the manner of wash day. On it are hung various gifts of linen for tbe household.

She should be provided with a big “sure ensugh" clothesbasket and .ordered to “take in the wash,” which is neatly pinned on the line.

The “wash” consists of various ar tides needed for daily domestic tasks. There should be towels. d,ust cloths. Ironing blankets, kitchen aprons, a clothespin bag in which she has to collect the piss and a frame on which lo roll the line when she has taken it down.- pi As a climax the tin tabs may stand in one corner.
