Should Bridal Showers Be Abolished Now? Although pre-nuptial showers make life easier for women's page editors throughout the nation, they should be abolished. These showers may help to fill columns of newspapers and closets of brides-to-be, but they empty pocketbooks of their women friends. In small towns and in all but the largest cities, it is customary for a prospective bride's friends to give showers for her. It isn't at all unusual for a girl to have as many as six or eight showers given for her by friends who are anxious to see her closet well-stocked with linens, dishes, lamps and bric-a-brac. The hardship isn't on the friend who gives the shower or on the out in unique manner. The long dining table held over the chandeliers, a huge pink umbrella under which hung a large sprinkling pot covered with pink and lavender asters. Streamers of transparent cellophane poured from the spout to connect with the lovely gifts spread over the table. Games with prizes for every guest made the evening a very delightful affair. Ice cream, little individually decorated cakes and pineapple punch were served by the hostess, assisted by her mother. The invited guests were Mrs. W. E. Hauser, mother of the bride-to-be, of Anaheim; Mrs. George Peterson, Mrs. J. J. Murphy, Miss Mary Pat Murphy, Miss Ruby Johnson, Miss Doris Erickson, Mrs. Don Christy, all of Santa Ana; Mrs. E. Donovan and Miss Lola Hauser of Hollywood; Mrs. Gladys Walker, Mrs. W. H. Trockstad, Mrs. Harry Keefer, Mrs. Tom Turk and Miss Maggie Reeves, all of Anaheim; and Mrs. Minnie Chapel of Long Beach.
