BRIDAL SHOWER
[People’s Press, 1 February 1910]
Last Thursday arrangements were being made for a kitchen shower in honor of the approaching wedding of one of Welland’s fair belles.
A kitchen shower, be it known, is an event when all the ladies visit the home of the prospective bride, see her single for the last time; sometimes get a squint at the gown, and present her with anything from an egg cup to a tea kettle.
“Some one’s dead?”
“The bride to be has passed away.”
Happy morsels for the gossips’ tongue and so the news spread. The undertaker was seen carrying in a coffin where the festivities were to be.
But it was not a coffin, it was only a box of packed camp chairs to accommodate the visitors who were coming with the gifts.
