"'I've always been a collector
ot sorts," says Gladys Barden,
owner and operator of Barden's
Antique Store on Hillcrest. "I'm
especially interested in antiques,
but 1 can't afford to fall in love
with my treasures."
She was born in Colorado, but
has rived for the past 25 years, off
and on, in Shelton. Her father,
Clifford D. Ford, homesteaded in
the Matlock area and owned one
of the first sawmills in Mason
County.
Mrs. Barden has a son, Steve
Boothe of Castle Rock, and a
daughter, Mrs. Roberta Seal of
Shelton. She has three
grand-children.
Gladys Barden has owned and
operated several restaurants and a
drive-in eating place; she once ran
a grocery store; but she finds her
present business the most
interesting of all.
"I like this better than any
other line of work, bar none," she
declares." l meet such wonderful
peopie."
Bowling is a favorite
recreation, and Gladys Barden is a
member of the Simpson team.
She likes to fish but no longer has
much time to do so.
"'1 enjoy all sports," she
states, "but 1 guess cooking is my
real hobby."
She loves to prepare meals for
family get-togethers, and she
maintains that her chocolate cake
recipe is the best she's ever tried.

adorned the altar, and pew bows
were lavender with centers of
purple.

father, the bride was gowned in
silk organza over taffeta. The
empire bodice of Peau d 'ange
lace was styled with a scoop
neckline and cuffed Edwardian
sleeves. Peau d 'ange lace
enhanced the slim silhouette skirt
and banded the hemline with
scallops• Lace, inserted midway,
encircled the skirt and merged
into a wide, sweeping chapel
length train. Pearl-edged petals of
matching lace studded with
aurora borealis crystals fashioned
the caplet that framed her face.
Imported silk illusion veiling
cascaded in bouffant tiers.
