MR. AND MRS. HARRY GILBERT HONORED

On Saturday afternoon, February 24, Mrs. H.H. Fleener and Miss Lucille Gilbert entertained a large number of relatives and friends at the pleasant home of the former on Elm street in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Gilbert, who have recently married. Mrs. Gilbert was formerly Miss Juanita Evans of Newton.

The honored guests were the recipients of a large variety of useful gifts. These young people will soon be settled in a home and the various collections of household articles will find their rightful place and always be a pleasant reminder of this occasion and the kind friends in attendance.

The home was tastefully decorated in yellow and white. There were beautiful cut flowers bearing the color scheme mixed with a touch of pink and green.

The afternoon was spent in a social hour followed with a short musical program. Miss Jane Huff and Anna Mae Schooley sang a duet, Mr. Harry Gilbert and his sister, Miss Lucille Gilbert, gave an instrumental selection followed with a duet by Miss Anna Mae Schooley and Lucille Gilbert. Miss Gilbert accompanied with her guitar. Miss Lucille Gilbert presented a contest which required a knowledge of wise sayings.

Chase McPherson, Mrs. Ben Tarleton, Mrs. Bert Shaw, Mrs. Garnet Sampson, Mrs. Mary Swain, Mrs. Clifford Phipps, Miss Lucille Gilbert, Mrs. Amos Gilbert, Miss Jane Huff, Mrs. Will Schooley and son, Mr. and Mrs. Harold McLain and Miss Lois McLain of Newton, Mrs. Raymond Gilmore and children Jerry and Dickie, Mrs. Harold Talbert and daughter, Mrs. Louise Hoskinson and daughter Doloris of Newton, Mrs. Jud Gilbert, Mrs. Edith Watkins, Mrs. Lloyd Gilbert, Mrs. A.N.
