Mrs. Cooke Honored at Delightful Party

Durham Herald

Saturday morning from 10 to 12 o’clock Mrs. John W. Neal and Miss Eva Neal were joint hostesses at their house on Hillsboro road in honor of Mrs. R.M. Cooke of Concord.

The home was beautifully decorated. A profusion of summer flowers were placed at intervals throughout the home, carrying out the color scheme of pink and white.

Upon the arrival of the guests delicious punch was served by Misses Pauline, Cole and Mary Latta.

The game of the morning was heart dice and after these games it was found that Mrs. Eric Tillett held the highest score. The prize proved to be a paper bag, which on being opened disclosed a cat holding an announcement of the marriage of Miss Ethel Near to Marvin W. Cooke of Kannapolis, N.C.

The guests were invited into the dining room which was lovely with pink unshaded tapers. The centerpiece was a beautiful bride’s cake, the cutting of which afforded much merriment among the guests.

At the conclusion of the morning a delicious course of nuts and bon bons was served to the following guests: Misses Pauline Cole, Sudie M. Barker, Myrtle Scoggins, Erna Umstead, Lottie Moore, Coma Cole and Mamie Holloway, Mesdames R.M. Cooke, V.A. Cole, M.T. Neal, J.W. Vole, F.L. King, J.E. Tilley, W.L. Hampton, R. Matheney, W.L. Totten, W.L. Cole, M.L. Packet, W.T. Neal Jr., Eugene Cole, E.L. Tilley, H.A. Neal, R.R. Cole, Vatine Sharp, C.L. Leathers, D.S. Cole, J.A. King, I.M. Williams and Mary Beavers.

I think these are stories about the same couple, but the bride's first and last names are spelled differently,and the bridegroom's last name is spelled different. newspapers.digitalnc.org/lccn/sn91068271/1925-06-08/ed-1/seq-2/#words=JUNE+8%2C+1925
