Hamilton Evening Journal May 29, 1917
Miss Ruby Cleveland gave a linen shower at her home on North Third street 
Saturday afternoon, which was in honor of Miss Edna Frazer who on June 2nd 
will become the bride of Lawrence Barnthouse. The parlors were filled with 
loving friends and relatives who spent the afternoon with games and music. One 
contest which created amusement for the guests was the writing of original 
poems about the bride and groom to be. As each poem was read they called forth 
much laughter. The first prize was won by Miss Viola Meyers, a box of fancy 
stationary; and the second by Miss Edna Frazer, a pretty little picture of 
cupid. The bride-to-be was blind-folded and led into a room where piled high 
upon a table were the many beautiful gifts of linen. At 5 o'clock the guest 
were invited into the dining room where garlands of hearts and wedding hells 
and flags were hung overhead. The center of the table was banked with red 
carnations and fern. At each place were tiny houses bedecked with bluebirds 
which are symbolical of happiness and these contained heart draped mints. The 
place cards were little cupids and they were atop the bonbon boxes. Ices and 
cake were served after which the guests departed leaving with the bride-elect 
their best wishes for success and happiness and complimenting the hostess on 
her delightful mode of entertainment.
