Bride-to-Be Honoured By Girl Friends

Delightful Party in League Club Rooms TOURIST WELCOMED HOME I . Miss Thelma St. Clair Whyte, whose marriage takes place tomorrow, was the guest of honour at a jolly party given by the Victoria League Girls’ Committee in the Victoria League Rooms last evening. Miss Claire Prosser, recently returned from Englancl. was warmly welcomed home. ; The hostesses for the evening were Miss Kathleen Aickin and Miss Alar- : jorie Cerrutty, and they were assisted i in welcoming the guests by Mrs. Ric- ; kerby, president of the girls’ commit- | tee. | Vivid zinnias were attractively ar- | ranged in bbwls around the room, and a very happy evening was spent doing amusing competitiens. A competition in which five girls had to speak for two minutes each on a subject disclosed on a printed slip of paper caused a great deal of merriment. Miss Mavis -McCullough, whose impromptu remarks on the difference between the Victorian and modern maid were very entertaining, was the winner. During the evening a presentation of a picture and a bridal edition of the league’s cookery book was made to Miss Whyte. Several enjoyable items were contributed by Miss Marjorie Faire, songs; Miss Ena Langsford. pianoforte solos; and Misses Eileen Adkins and Nance ! Redstone, elocutionary items.
