HANDKERCHIEF SHOWER.
Given By Miss Ray Brandenburg In
Honor of Miss Neal Phillips Re
garded As Formal Announce
ment Of Her Engagement
To Mr. R. Dorsey
Wilmans.
Handkerchief showers are not every
day occurrences but if they were all
such pleasant affairs as that given
Friday afternoon by Miss Ray Bran
denburg in honor of her cousin Miss
Neal Phillips, it would be a matter of
regret that they did not happen more
often. At this delightful function, the
guest of honor was the recipient of
forty two beautiful handkerchiefs of
various neat designs and pretty fancy
work, the handiwork of the donors in
many instances. The handkerchief
shower is the forerunner of a wedding
and this event was a formal announce
ment of the engagement of Miss
Neal Phillips, one of Newport’s most
charming and queenly society belles
to Mr. R. Dorsey Wilmans, a popular
young business man of this city and
the youngest member of the firm of
Wilmans Bros., whose wedding is to
take place next month. The pros
pective groom was not forgotten in
this handkerchief shower and was the
recipient of two such remembrances
from fx-iends.
A unique method of entertaining

THE RIGHT PLACE.
!
IN HONOR OF THE CLASS.
Mr. and Mrs. H. Bernstein Entertain
Graduates, School Board,.Teach
ers And Other Friends At
Hazel After Exercises.
•
To sit for several hours, the ob
served by all observers is the lot of
every graduate, but few classes are so
fortunate as to have awaiting them
upon the conclusion of the com
mencement exercises a delightful
social entertainment. But the class
of 1902 belonged to this lucky few and
the function in their honor was given
by the secretary of the school board
Mr. H. Bernstein and his thoughtful
wife.
After an elegant repast of ice cream,
strawberries and cake, toasts w’ere
called for and timely, appropriate re
sponses, to some of which there was
a touch of humor, were made by
Revs. L. H. Richardson, H. E. Gabby,
Messrs J. M. Stay ton, W. R. Thomp
son, Drs. J. M. Jones and A. J. Brewer
and Prof. A. Woods. The gradu
ates too were called upon and from
the excellence of their impromptu
efforts as well as prepared orations, it
would seem that the class of 1902 are
all good speakers.
The adjournment from the banquet
table was by a rising vote of thanks
to Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein, whose
loyalty to and love for the Newport
schools is deeply appreciated not only
by the teachers and pupils of that
body, but by all the friends and pat
rons of the institution.
In Mr. Gabby’s remarks, he urged
upon the graduates that they continue
dreaming, that they refuse to lower
their ideals to the matter-of-fact
grooves along which some drift, but
continue to let their ambition and the
roseate pictures of youth control them,
for under such conditions, both the
usefulness and happiness of the indi
vidual is best subserved. The thought
was beautiful and with many others
was impressed upon the class, 'who
will have many reasons in later years
to recall with pleasure this hospitality
of Mr. and Mrs. Bernstein.
RECOVERED FROM RIVER.
The body of Robert P. Fry, who
was drowned in White River Thurs
day afternoon, was recovered early
Saturday morning about two miles
below the point where he was
drowned and near Grand Glaize.
R. M. Laird and R. F. Drummond
went to Auvergne Saturday morning
with hearse and coffin, the funeral
