June Bride Rushes Into
Umbrella-less Showers
You can't be a bona fide bride unless
.ou're showered with everything from
celluloid picture frames to linen and
- cut glass, and the busy bride-to-be
spends her prenuptial days dashing
from one shower to another. For, in
stead of avoiding them, as we ordinary
mortals do most June showers, she
- rushes into them umbrella-less and all.
It remains for the bride of this
month t&kyt the most unique affairs
- given for herS
- Miss Dorothy Mae Morearty. who
" was honor guest at these parties, was
-presented with a large apron at the
home of Mrs. Frank Johnson, Tues-
day evening. Above her head was
strung a long clothes-line with numer
: ous gifts pinned on with clothespins.
: With a very Monday morning-ish air
Miss Morearty unpinned the gifts
from the line, and just as she turned
to thank the guests, an innocent look
ing rose attached to the chandelier,
suddenly showered rice on the
honoree. .
The centerpiece for the table in
the dining room was a miniature
wedding, the participants being mem
bers of the clothespin family. The
bride was very -up-to-date with her
white gown and veil and the bride
groom and his best man all wore the
"conventional black" dress suits.
Mrs. Emily Byram entertained m
Miss Morearty's honor Saturday
evening, and this was a real surprise
even to the bridegroom. One of the
guests was in a soldier's uniform, a
i ' blushing bridegroom in the making, i

Food Conservationists Put on
Neighborhood Canning Exhibits
Mrs. Maynard Cole, district chair
man of the Central conservation
council, opened her kitchen Friday
morning for one of the first neighbor
hood canning demonstrations given by
Mrs. Paul Rivett and Miss Hedvic
Provaznik. aides to Miss Nellie
Farnsworth, federal home demon
stration agent.
"It is better to have a flag in one's
pantry than in one's front window,"
said Mrs. Cole, who has carried the
cosoel of food conservation into hun-
rdreds of homes in the Lothrop school
district.
"Conservation is a word women are
beginning to comprehend in t new
light. They now understand con
serving means substituting and that
this is as essential a factor in win
ning the war as the Red Cross or
any other war activity. They are
more than glad to do without those
foods which are so essential to the
strength of our soldiers and allies,
and are more than anxious to learn
how to use the abundant substitutes
efficiently."
One woman whom Mrs. Cole asked
to work in her block replied that she
was sick in bed with tonsilitis but
honed the work could wait a few
days until she was well enough ton
accomplish it. bo many who nave
been unable to go away from home
and do Red Cross work or engage in
other war activities have been glad to
do their bit in the line of conservation.
One mother of 8 children thanked
Mrs. Cole for calling her to do this
work because she could do it at home.
One colored woman secured the serv
ices, of 7 others who would help with
the people of their race.
In the South Lincoln district Mrs.
C. N. Sears says: "Each woman did
what her home duties permitted her
to do and did it willingly and
