LINEN SHOWER COMING BRIDE

1 Given by Supt. and Nurses at the County Hospital. A linen shower was given at the county hospital Tuesday evening by the superintendent and nurses for one of their number who is soon to become a bride. The bride-to-be is Miss Fern Osborne, daughter of W. F. Osborne oP this city, and her life' “patient” is William Clouse, also of Rensselaer. The marriage is to take place within a very few days, it is understood. The slower was planned as a surprise and worked out beautifully. Miss Osborne was on night duty, and after the other nUrses were oft at 7 o’clock they slipped down to the dining room and proceeded to decorate the room an'd prepare their gifts. In the meantime, Miss Osborne, who was on the third floor, was called down to the office by her affianced, who came in to see her for a few minutes. While talking to htih fc4>e was again called upstairs to attend a patient and while she was gone Mr. douse was led down to the dining room. Miss Osborne on her return found Mr. Clouse gone and of course thought, he had treated her rather coolly. But on some pretext she was also soon escorted to the dining room where she found her affianced peacefully seated among a bevy of nurses while strings of crimson hearts swung in every direction from the chandelier. Miss Osborne was the recipient of many presents and advance congratulations.
