Show ! Engagements of Miss Rhoda Andrus And Miss Nelda Cornelius Announced Charming among the events scheduled for June was the pretty candle light tea given Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Andrus when their daughter, Rhoda, and her intimate friend Nelda Cornelius, announced their bethrothals before a group of girl friends and several invited guests. The rooms were bright with baskets and bowls of cut flowers in shades of old rose with lighted white princess tapers. Tea favors were twin hearts joined by mina-ture mina-ture engagement rings, one heart bearing the names Rhoda and Mack and the other, Nelda and Howard, thus making known the engagement of Miss Rhoda Andrus to Mack Jackson, of Toquerville and of Miss Nelda Cornelius, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Cornelius of Virgin to Howard Whitehead, son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Whitehead of St. George. Preliminary plans for the tea were made one week ago while Miss Andrus was a guest of Miss Cornelius at the home of her parents in Virgin. On Thursday they joined a group of county officials of-ficials on a trip to Mt. Kolob where a special county convention conven-tion was being held. That evening, eve-ning, each young man, unbeknown to the other, presented his fiance with her engagement ring. This unusual coincidence persuaded the two girl friends to make the joint announcement. Mrs. Henry Cornelius came from Virgin for the event. Also present were Mrs. Isabell Papworth and Mrs. Bert Smith, sisters of Mr. Jackson, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Frank Jackson, all of Cedar City.
