Rutherfordton, Aug. 18—Miss Bertha McRorie, whose marriage to Mr. John W. Dalton of Forest City will occur next month, was the honoree at a lovely party Saturday afternoon given by Misses Julia and Lois Justice. The party was in the nature of a miscellaneous shower.
Two interesting contests were enjoyed in which Miss Beatrice Levi and Mrs. G.W. Dobbins were the winners. The door of the living room was then thrown open and the postman called: “Special Delivery Package for Miss McRorie.” The huge package, when opened was found to contain many pretty and useful gifts for the bride-elect.
The hostesses then, assisted by Mrs. Stover P. Dunagan, served a delectable salad course to the following guests: Misses Mildred Taylor, Elizabeth Tanner, Beatrice Levi, Bertha McRorie, Fannie Dickerson, Martha McClain, Effie Dalton, Theresa Taylor, Florence Edwards, Doris Bell, Mesdames G.W. Dobbins, G.B. Yelton and Collette Miller.
Miss McRorie was again honoree at a party Tuesday morning when Miss Florence Edwards and Mrs. B. B. Higgins of Shelby delightfully entertained at the home of the former. The morning was spent in playing progressive rook, after which the guests were served an elaborate salad course consisting of frozen blocked salad, sandwiches, pickles and iced tea. An enormous wash tub was then brought in and placed at the bride-elect’s side, full of packages containing many useful things for the kitchen.
Among those who enjoyed the charming hospitality of Miss Edwards and Mrs. Higgins were Misses Lois Justice, Mildred Taylor, Martha McClain, Effie Dalton, Sara Goforth, Pantha Houser, Theresa Taylor, Ruth Edwards, Elizabeth Tanner, Mesdames W.O. Geer, Collett Miller, C.C. Houser, John Miller, Spurgeon Yelton, Iva Lovelace, R.L. Arial and Arthur Harrill.
Mrs. Airial, a newcomer to the city, was presented, before departing, a linen guest towel.
Misses Mildred Taylor and Martha McClain will entertain jointly Wednesday afternoon at the home of the former, in honor of Miss McRorie.
