Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

I hadn't gone to one in ages, and Jean's engagement was an opportunity to combine the fine old custom of promoting a little "loot" for the bride-to-be and at the same time celebrating with a party. Actually, I knew the girls would all be wondering what to give her, and a shower would provide a clearing house for presents and avoid duplication. I asked a couple of our mutual friends to help me decide on the kind, and we chose linens and lingerie. Some girls prefer kitchen showers, for instance, but I happened to know that Jean would have to start from scratch to stock a linen closet. And what girl doesn't welcome a little extra fancy lingerie for her trousseau? I planned a one o'clock luncheon. Usually I like to limit lunch to not more than six, but this time I made it twelve, because let's face it, twelve presents are just twice as many as six. (The bride made the twelfth at table, but an absent friend sent the twelfth gift.) For an afternoon party, or a buffet lunch, I would have made the list even longer. Someone suggested a surprise party, but I said a firm "no" to that. Personally, I don't like them. The guest of honor has to be snared for a specific time on a specific day and induced to dress her prettiest, and usually one of two things happens: Someone forgets and talks too freely, making her suspicious; or she is so wise about such things that she would be even more surprised if a party and presents weren't waiting when she arrived. Another advantage this gave me was that I could consult her about the guest list. Did her fiance's sister live in town and would she like her included? Were there any other female relatives who should be asked? In this way I started the list with several names she suggested, the rest being our mutual friends.
