Reading—Miss Mabel Reesing.

numbered. The girl holding number
one had to go over to the wall and pin
it up; then girl number two rushed
up and fitted her piece; girl number
three followed; and so the puzzle was
gradually put together on the wall,
the complete affair spelling in large
letters, “Follow the String.” The bride
having piece number fourteen, the
last one, had to follow the string
which led her all through the house
and out into the yard. After taking
the string off trees, bushes and the
yard fence she came to the end of the
string where she found a large treas-
ure of gifts.
After the gifts had been admired
by the bride and her many friends,
the bride in her charming manner
thanked the guests for all the lovely
gifts, and a thanks to the hostesses.
Everyone then departed, wishing
the bride much happiness throughout
her wedded life. —A Guest.
