Lovely Shower For
Recent Bride At
Franklin Hotel
Miss Roberta Bryant and Miss
Marie Sprinkle were hostesses at
a lovely shower and party at the
Franklin hotel last Friday evening,
honoring Mrs. William E. Brackett,
formerly Miss Alice Porter, of
Brevard, whose recent marriage
took place in Atlanta, Ga.
The reception rooms of the hotel
were attractive with an arrange
ment of gladioli, snapdragons and
larkspur, emphasizing a color
scheme in pink and green. A three
tiered bride’s cake centered a
prettily decorated lace covered
table, on which were also burning
white tapers and flowers in the
prevailing colors. Ice cream mold
ed to resemble a bride and groom
and pink and green mints were
served with the cake. Added at
tractions were clever favors, each
one of which contained best wishes
for the bride, which were read in
turn by the guests.
Other features of entertainment
were contests, carrying out the
bridal idea, and the awarding of
prizes to the winners.
The shower of miscellaneous
gifts was presented in a novel
manner, when a negro mammy
entered, with an attractively dec
orated laundry basket filled with
gifts for the honoree.
Mrs. Brackett, who has been em
ployed in the chemical department
at Ecusta, expects to leave next
week to join her husband, Lieu
tenant Brackett, in Spartanburg,
