Mrs. Wayne Rogers, recent bride,
was named honoree Wednesday af-
ternoon when Mrs. R. I. Turner en-
tertained in her home with a show-
er.
While games were being played,
a clever means of presenting the
gifts was used by having a “special
delivery” letter arrive. The letter
was read aloud by the hostess to
present the bride with the array
of packages which were delivered
in a large white basket decorated
with a delicate bouquet of apple
blossoms and green fern tied with
white satin ribbon.
Mrs. W. D. Stewart of Archer City
presided at the guests’ register.
The attractive bride’s book was
made and presented by the hostess.
On the second page was a picture
of the bride and groom, each en-
circled in a wreath of colorful
flowers and wedding bells. Under
each picture were the words, “The
Bride” and “The Groom.”
On the attractive refreshment
plate the napkins bore a tiny bridal
couple encircled with a large wed-
ding ring bearing the words “Thel-
ma and Wayne.”
Guests for the occasion were
Mesdames B. E. Parmley, Noel Rog-
ers, M. H. St John, Aubrey St
John, H. L. Kent, E. G. Christie,
Chas. Lutz, Hugo Kunkel, Leon
Wellman W. D. Chitwood, Billy
Reed, Mattie Carter, Marvin Phil-

enjoyed by Olney Music Club
members Wednesday afternoon
when Mrs. W. W. Price and Mrs.
Robert Earl Goodloe were co-hos-
tesses in the home of Mrs. Price.
Mrs. W. A. Cox as leader succinct-
ly discussed Wagnerian types, ex-
plaining that W’agner’s operas are
music dramas. Miss Gladys Drum
related the story of “Tristan and
Isolde” which is based on the story
of two lovers who were unable to
marry due to a family feud. Isolde
marries the king who fatally in-
Wear Your Heart. . . .
Wear your heart on your door,
to adapt a well-known saw for
your own practical use
Giving a Valentine party soon?
Then, gold and silver hearts beat
a gentle welcome for the Valentine
party. Cut them out yourself from
cardboard in a range of sizes. If
you can’t find the proper coiors,
a bottle of gilt will do the trick.
String them together on red, red1 Benoit
ribbons and let them prove your
heart’s in the right place, not to
mention your party.
For Gift Giving
Sometimes that budget just won’t
stretch and when that time arrives
why not follow the rofutes taken
by two clever Olney housewives
who are handy with the sewing
machine.
For a stork shower give lap pads
but glorify them with pink or blue
silk crepe pillow cases. Matexial
for the cases can usually be purch-
ased in remanents
For a gift that will thrill a young
girl, make pillow cases of prints,
using solid print material for the
facing. Then, cut out the initials
or spell out the entire name of the
honoree from the print, whip the
edges uner and there you’ll have
a different sort of “monogram”
for a truly personal gift

“The Valkyries” was outlined by
Mrs. W. W. Wolverton who told
the club the story concerned nine
daughters with the opera telling
of their lives.
After commenting on Verdi’s
“Aidi,” Miss Elizabeth Thornton
played a solo from the opera as in-
terpreted by Caruso. “The aria ex-
pressed strong, direct, manly senti-
ments and has a beautiful but sim-
ple melody,” Miss Thornton said
before reading the solo as follows:
“Heav’nly Aida, beauty resple-
dent,
Mysterious blending of flowers
and light,
Queen of my soul thou reign-
est
transcendent,
Thou of my life art the splendor
bright.
To thy bright skies once more I’d
restore thee,
To the soft air of thy native land,
Garlands imperial I would
wreathe o’er thee,
Raise thee a throne near the sun
to stand!”
Mrs. Clifford Porter commented
in brief fashion on the well-known
opera, “Faust,” by Gounod. The
recording of Lawrence Tibbett’s
solo, “Even Bravest Heart,” was
played from the opera.
During the business session a
leave of absence was granted Mrs.
________ Williams. Changes in the
program were noted by Miss Thorn-
ton, program chairman. Club mem-
bers voted their co-operation to
other clubs in forming a council
or federation. Roll call was ans-!
wered with operatic pronouncia-
tions.
Others attending were Mesdames
E. Brown, R. D. Chambers, A. D.
Cummings, Dudley Myers, A. J.
Graves, Cecil Neelley, Carl Ramsey,
Phil Slater, Jack Slater. J. B. St
Clair and J. E. Thimjahn.

Mrs. Fred Harwell gave a paper
on “Our Government.” Just a few
of the privileges that we have that
are to be found in no other coun-
try, that she brought out, were the
right of negroes to vote gained in
1910, abolition of slavery in 18t

ments were reviewed by Mrs. Mar-
vin Wilbanks who told that Mar-

and 12 pupils, but it has grown to
be one of the largest schools in
the country. She has had to under-
go many hardships and her school
