ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED.

Miss Franciscus to Become a Bride in October.
  At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh North Crider in Bellefonte, at one 
o'clock Saturday afternoon, a dainty luncheon was given in honor of 
Miss Eleanor Franciscus, of Tyrone, and her engagement to James 
Berkstreeser of Pittsburg, formally announced. Besides guests from 
Bellefonte, a number of Miss Franciscus' friends from this place were 
present, the entire party numbering eighteen. At the close of the 
luncheon a maid brought on a silver platter a miniature bride and groom 
dressed in full wedding regalia and placed it in front of the hostess, 
Mrs. Crider, who at once passed it to Miss Franciscus. The color scheme 
was yellow and white and the home was tastefully decorated for the 
occasion. The engagement ring of Miss Franciscus is a handsome 
solitaire diamond mounted in solid platinum ring with guard of same 
material beautifully studded with diamond chips. The wedding nuptials 
will occur on Thursday, October 19.
