Social gatherings and a mock wedding in Missouri Valley
Mrs. D H Miller hosted the Navajo club afternoon knotting baby comforts and sewing tops. A senior class outdoor supper near Crooked Creek featured bacon and eggs over a rock fireplace and a campfire encore. Mrs J A Huber hosted a six o'clock dinner for Mrs Josie Dunning and daughter-in-law. Miss Emma Green’s mock wedding drew pink and white decor, bridesmaids, and a Lohengrin Wedding March parody. Mrs John Richards of Cotter marked her 85th birthday with four generations present and a Des Moines visit to her daughter tomorrow.
