Grandview, Ia., June 5. - Mrs. Everett Connor, Mrs. Ralph Hardman and Miss Ethel Fulwider entertained Saturday at the home of the former in honor of Miss Nellie Woodruff, who is soon to become the bride of Harry Young. The shower was in the form of a clothpin affair. As the guests arrived they were handed a clothpin and a slip of paper telling them what to dress. A little later the clothpin bride and groom, pastor, bridesmaides, guests, etc., were arranged in the center of the dining room table with the presents around the edge of the table. After some other entertainment the bride-to-be was ushered to the dining room to open her packages. She received many useful presents. After this refreshments were served to twenty-five.
