Miss Ella Clark Is Honored

Miss Ella Clark, bride-elect of Paul Andre, was feted last evening at a miscellaneous shower, the first of a series of parties to be held in her honor. The party, given by Evelyn and Barbara Zotter, cousins of the bride-to-be who will be bridesmaids in the wedding, was held at 621 Navarre. The decorations, refreshments, and cut flowers were in the colors of the dresses to be worn by the attendants in the wedding. In the center of the table on which the gifts were unwrapped stood a fifteen-inch figure of a bride. The figure was placed so that she appeared to be walking down an aisle. Petals from the various colored flowers fell on the satin ribbon which made the carpet on which the figure stood. The thirty-five guests were served at the punch bowl by Betty Paige Todd and Sue Harrison. The marriage of Miss Clark and Mr. Andre will take place June 5.
