And we'll wager you will be the first in your set to give this clever kind of an affair. Write the invitations on small, plain cards, as follows: "Thunder and lightning, lightning and thunder, What is the meaning of this, you wonder. Simply this—an Electrical Shower Is to occur for the bride of the hour." Add the information about who for, where and when, and decorate the card with a few jagged lines to add to the effect. Instead of bringing individual gifts, the guests may like to go together and get a collective gift of a piece of electrical equipment such as an electric toaster, waffle iron, coffee maker or a lamp. No better choice could be made to please the honoree, for today's bride delegates many of her cooking and food preparation duties to modern electrical devices. Refreshments may be served informally and electrically. A waffle supper would be appropriate, with several waffle irons and an electric coffee maker making the refreshments at the tables. Butter-toasted sandwiches prepared at the table on an electric grill are another possibility, or the guests may toast their own bread and make their own sandwiches from a variety of fillings.

The plan, as announced by Scout Leader Walter J. Barrows, provides for planting of flower beds on vacant lots in Seal Beach.
