Shower Given For Everett, Mass., Woman
WASHBURN, Jan. 31, [1951] -- A novel shower was given by Mrs.
Roberta Doak at the home of Mrs. Mildred Pettingill recently for
Mrs. Edward Skane (Adina Churchill) who resides in Everett, Mass.
Forty guests arrived at the Pettingill home with unwrapped gifts
and placed them on a table decorated with yellow and white
streamers with a large stork hovering over a decorated bassinet.
One unique gift, made by Mrs. Olive Allen, was a rag doll, togged
in kiltie skirt and arranged with dollar bills donated by friends
of Mrs. Skane.
Each guest wrapped her gift to be sent the guest of honor. During
the evening a telephone call to Mrs. Skane, the missing guest of
honor, was made by her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Churchill, announcing
the surprise affair which was being held in her home town in her
honor.
