The Fruition of Faith
San Antonio Light, September 18, 1924
Autumn Shower
npWENTY-SIX years ago last month; the Shiner Gazette issued
a special San Antonio trade edition. A copy of that edition
was shown recently to San Antonio merchants on one of
their trade trips to neighboring territory. <
Among the assets credited then—in 1898—to' the Alamo
City, were: “the finest climate in the world,” “the finest system
of stwerage in the south;” the finest military post; “a live, pro-
gressive city administration; and “the finest water works system
In the South.” 8an Antonio was also set forth as a city of homes
and home-lovers.
At that time, the trade trippers learned, San Antonio had a
population of 60,000 and an assessed valuation of $32,000,000. To-
day, San Antonio has a population of over 200,000 and an assessed
valuation of $189,000,000. Today as it was then, San Antonio is
a city of homes, schools and churches—the most solid foundation
to sustain the weight of the edifice of time.
These figures and facts, are of course, familiar, or should be
familiar, to those who live in San Antonio and Bexar county. Now
as they were then, facts and figures have no value within them
•elves. Their utilitv is proportionate to their power as determi-
nants of conduct and action.
There were optimists and boosters for San Antonio in those
days, and there were others who laughed at the optimists and the
boosters. There were men and women who manifested their faith
in this city, 25 years ago, and now says that their faith was un-
founded?
Is there any reason to believe that the growth of the next 25
years will not justify the hopes of those of today for the interests
of the community and for their own interests?
The optimism of 1898 has been justified and there is no ap-
parent reastfn why the optimism of 1924 will not be justified in 1950

Practical
Nurse Tells
Mrs. N. E. Snow, of Route
1, near Paris, Tenn., tells the
story of her experience as
follows:
“I am 62 years old and I
have been a practical nurse
for more than 20 years, tak-
ing mostly maternity cases.
One of my daughters suffered
from cramping at . . . She
would just bend double and
have to go to bed.
CARDUI
The Woman's Tonic
was recommended to her and
she only had to take about
two bottles, when she hardly
knew that it was . . ., she
suffered so little pain.
“M y youngest daughter
was run-down, weak and
nervous, and looked like she
didn’t_ have a bit of blood
left—just a walking skeleton,
no appetite and tired all the
time. I gave her two bottles
of Cardui. It built her up
and she began eating and
soon gained in weight and
has been so well since.”
Cardui, tfcp Woman’s Tonic,
has helped suffering women
for over forty years. Try it.
At all druggists’.

Mrs. E. G. Buske’s prettv
home was brilliant in its bridal
setting Tuesday afternoon for the
miscellaneous shower complim-
enting Miss Hilda Fehrenkamp,
a charming bride-to-b\
The hostess and honoree re-
ceived the guests in their usua'
cordial, happy manner. The
reception room featured a color
scheme of white wedding bells
and banked ferns. The brides
register was presided over by
Miss Irene Turk.
In the dining room the white
and green color scheme was very
tastefully developed. Scarcely
had the interchange of greetings
and congratulations subsided
when in tripped the dainty little
niece of the bride, Geneva Siems
all ‘‘dolled up” like a miniature
cupid armed with proverbial
bow and arrow and with many
a step of airy grace and artistic
pose danced before the fair bride.
All unexpectedly, a ring of the
door bell, and a Southwestern
Bell Telephone Messenger ap-
peared to serve a long distance
Qall on the honoree. The mes-
senger proved none other than
another charming niece of the
bride, Miss Irene Henkhaus in
a nifty messenger service cos-
tume. She summoned Miss
Fehrenkamp to the sup parlor;
at once, to answer her call.
Autumn enhanced the beauty
of this lovely parlor into Fairy-
land.- Here the array of beauti-
ful gifts were displayed amid a
setting of gray moss festoonings
frosted palms aod grass, tinged
with a lavish display of vari-col-
ored autumn leaves.
The decorations vied with the
gifts of silver in their glistening
silvery sheen. The “boyish mes-
senger” delivered
THE MESSAGE
These gifts are tokens of re-
membrance sent to you that
they may show
Our thoughts still travel „ to
you through the days that
come and go :
And we are more than glad
to tell you that they
are wrapped anew
With the wish for joys un-
numbered for a valued
friend like you.
After profuse expressions of
appreciation the honoree was
escorted to the .-punch ‘'booth,”
presided o/er by Misses Alice
Pohler and Hattie Gloor. At this
“station” she was “toasted” in
a very gracious end charming
manner by Miss Roxie Veree
Buske.
Young bride, a song for thee,
A song of joyous measure;
That thy cup of hope' may be
Filled with honeyed pleasure.
Fair bride, a smile for thee.
To shine away, chance sorrow;
For heaven is kind to-day and we
Will hope as well to-morrow.
Happy bride, a prayer for thee,
That all thy hopes possessing;
Thy soul may praise her God
and He
May crown thee with his bless-
ing
Roxie Veree wore a charming
frcck of peach blow silk with
intermittent insertions of silver
lace. The bride elect was attired
in a pastel shaded costume of
green silk.
The hostess was assisted
throughout the afternoon by the
bride’s sister, Mrs. G. Siems.
Punch and cake was served
throughout the afternoon and
also to the gay assemblage of
guests who called from 8 to 10.
The bride’s book registered 125
guests. There was a motif of
varied charm that seemed to
weave itsefl through the details
of the hospitality. It proved to
be the most delightful affair of
the fall season. Telephone bells
as well as wedding bells were
ringing.
