----------
(From Thursday's Daily.)
          The  Misses Nading  were hostesses at their home on East Mechanic street yesterday afternoon, a party of seventeen young ladies being present, a linen shower being given in honor of  Miss Lucile Harrison,  a bride-elect.
          The library at the home was decorated in yellow, while the decorations in the other rooms were yellow with red hearts.
          The amusement for the afternoon was "Hearts,"  Miss Lucille Harrison winning the first prize, a broache, while  Miss Florence McCrea  was awarded the booby prize, a pair of silk hose.
          A small white heart was placed on a large red one, and the young ladies were each given a bow and arrow.  The one shooting the arrow nearest the center of the white heart was the one to be married next.  Miss Anna DeHeur  was the "unfortunate."
          Luncheon in two courses was served,  Mrs. J. L. Showers  assisting.  Miss Naomi Favorite,  of Indianapolis, was the only out of town guest.

          Prof. Thomas Harrison was ninety years old Monday.  Those of his family who are in the city, gathered at his home on North Tompkins street, and enjoyed a family reunion on Sunday.  Prof. Harrison was born near Leeds, England, and apprenticed to a printer at the age of sixteen years and served an apprenticeship of five years, after which he came to America and conducted a newspaper in Ohio, for a time.  He was president of Moore's Hill college for several years, and afterward principal of the High School in this city, for many years.  He is a minister of the gospel, but now and for many years, has been living with his aged companion, a retired life.  None know Prof. Harrison but to respect him.  May he abide with us many years is our wish.
