DAILY CARES In these hard times Few brides have dowers, But some have friends 1 Who give them showers. Jack and I have decided to get married in spite of the hard times, and begin where our parents began. Doesn t that sound romantic ? There ll be no $1,000 cheque from dad, or a sterling tea set from the . family, laughed Betty Simons as she ` waved goodbye to Martha after drop- ; ping in for a cup of tea. Nlnrfhn lilzorl Rettv.

Talking Betty s marriage over with Tom `that night, Martha said she thought she would give a shower for her, as Betty wasn t likely to have much to start married life with, such as `hope chests for instance. She says Jack has taken a three- room apartment with a kitchenette about as big as a minute, said Mar- tlm. That gives me the very idea for my shower. I ll call it a `Love- nest Shower. The name fairly drips honey, ` commented Tom. Do they still have . such things ? \'mv Tom: rlrm t he mean. Just sucn tmngs 1" Now, Tom; don t be mean.

Martha spent the best part of sev- eral days telephoning" all her friends about the shower. Through a nearby florist she orde1'r:d several hanks of natural shade r'_ifl ia. Then she in- terested Tom in cutting` three good sized crotches from trees and On each of those she arranged a nest of the raflia. One bore a placard with "Living Room on it. Another mark- ed Bedroom and Bath, and still an- other Kitchenette. As the guests arrived their gifts were placed in the nest designated for the room the gift was intended to grace.

The table, from which the refresh- ments were served. was centred with miniature trees, on which were sev- eral small nests with bright celleioio birds perched in the branches.

There were bright piece.- of hric-a-brac for the living room, linens for the bed and bath rooms, and a wonderful assortment of green and cream enamel ware, a recipe l- \ ing cabinet and green glass contain- ers for the kitchenette.
