hostess for a 42 party Friday after-
g noon at the home of her parents, Mr.

In nor guest her cousin, Miss Beulah
Grace Jenkins of Bastrop. Zinnias in
the pastel shades formed the decorat-
ion- for the living room and the re-
ception hall and dining room were
made attractive with an artistic
rangeinenl of Shasta daisies.
The favors prizes and table
pointments reflected
season by suggesting
"keeping cool " The design of the
score cards included a single rose
surrounded by zinnias In shades to
harmonize with those of the decorat-
ions of the living rooms where the
tables were placed and the first prize
wa a parasol pencil, while the favors
were miniature fans. The guest of
honor was presented with .1 set of
tupid flower score cards and the bo-
oby prize was a pencil surmounted by
a feather- trimmed cap, suggestive of
the consoling thought tha' even win-
ning a booby prize was a "feather in
one's cap."
As the date of the party was coinci-
dent with the birthday of the hostess,

holding If! burning candles, was a
surprise feature of 'he afternoon,
brought in during the refreshment
course by the hostess' mother, Mrs.
