Mis Isabel I Buckley will (peak on the subject of Senior Citizens. Miss Buckley- is the Stale Ex- I tension Specialist in Aging Everyone is invited to at tend this meeting in the Audi torium of the Agriculture Building on 307 East Nash Street in Louisburg. The day's troubles are usually such trifles you cant remember them a day later. If you don't think so. what bothered vou so much v ester | day? . An Early Spring Shower Is Set With Snow Ferns Hostessing an early spring engagement shower is a delightful way of beating the last sluggish days of winter, as well as pleasing a favorite friend. The keynote of the party itself is fun, both in each guest's giving and in sharing the bride-to-be's excitement in setting up her own household. And, the first shower given for the happy engaged girl is usually the one that she remembers and cherishes most. A fanciful, informal table can be the piece de resistance of the occasion. The Design Studios of Oneida Silversmiths used elegant snow fems, as lacy as a bridal veil, as key accessories for this dessert and coffee shower tablesetting. Their delicate, natural shapes echo the unusual flatware motif on the Matchmakers pattern from Oneida called "Will '0' Wisp." The flatware has a Florentine finish with contemporary shaping, and an abstract incised leaf design on the handles. The lovely flatware would be an ideal bridal gift, too, since it comes in finest sterling and matching look-alike solid stainless. - The snow white terns for the setting can be bought in artificial Power departments, or created by spraying standard artificial fern leaves white. A dash of silver glitter, sprinkled on each leaf before the paint has dried, adds a fantasy air. Oneida's matchmaking "Will '0' Wisp" pattern, though contemporary in feeling, is right at home with traditional table decorations as well. It fits perfectly with he delicate tea roses which are used as casual accents on the formal cake and table itself, picking up the blushing bride pink of the linen tablecloth. Franklin Mem.
