Belhaven, N.C., Dec. 15—Miss Etta Sawyer entertained the Las Mariposas Club Tuesday evening in ;compliment to one of the seaon’s most popular and attractive bride-elects, Miss Sophornia Topping. The rooms were attractively decorated with Christmas evergreens. With the delicious ice course served by the hostess, the guests were presented with small satin bags of rice, bearing this inscription:
December 26, 1924
Thus announcing Miss Topping’s approaching marriage to Mr. Julius Purvis of Williamston, N.C. After the refreshments, the bride to be was presented with the end of a satin ribbon and told to pull. Doing as she was bid, she soon found herself showered with many useful cooking utensils, which were gifts of the club members.
Excluding the guest of honor, those present were Misses Rachel Bishop, Mildred Johnson, Estelle Crawford, Julia Rowe, Ruth Campbell, Mabel and Katie Topping, Alameta Sawyer, Mary King Ellison and Elizabeth Wilkerson.
The above announcement will prove to be very interesting to the many friends of the contracting parties, Mr. Purvis having lived near and in Williamston for the past several years. Miss Topping was a popular member of the Everetts school faculty in 1923-24 and has many friends in that section of the county.
