SOCIAL GOSSIP.

The past week has been . bus
one Christmas has come and gone
Some people have married ano
some have died. There have beer
happy moments and sad hours.
Fiom many homes bright faces and
cheerful voices are missing. The
tears spring to eur eyes and q great
sob gathers in our Threats as we
remember the warn pressure of
that missing hand and the bright
smile that rested on some dear face
at our Christmas greeting a year
ago. We gaze at the bowed faces
around Us and wonder. "Will they
be with us next Christmas. God
willing?" Aud yet We know where
there is life there must be death.
There is no time when the jingle
o wedding bells sounds so we'll as
when mingled with the bells OF
Christmas Mr.. Ernest Fslsome
and Miss Florence Meder selected
Chris. mss Eve for their nuptials
and the occasion was celebrated BY
a large and brilliant gathering at
the residence of the BRIDES parents.
Miss Ada Tobey acted as brides
maid and Dorsey Noteware acted
as the groom's best man. Rev.
Woods tied the knot and the jolly
party did not break up until mid
night. Tho happy couple were
showered with appropriate bridal
gifts and started next day for San
Francisco on their bridal tour.
Everybody said that a handssmer
couple never stood up together in
Carson.
The Christmas tree and enter
tainment gwen by the ladies of the
Presbyterian Church last Monday
evening was one of the best anna
teur entertainments ever given in
Carson City. The tennis drill by |
sixteen young ladies under the |
management of John Meder and
Miss Annie Martin, is said to be far
to similar drill given the
same week in San Francisco by |
professionals. The tableaux were
just perfect; no bitches, delays nor |
accidents to mar the pleasureAf the
on.ookers. Their smooth, and per-
feet rendition was entirely due to !
energy and ability of the talented |
teacher, Miss Mary Barrett. |
The songs, duets and recitati ons |
we're all very fine. The house was |
crowded, and more than enough |
money was taken in at the door to
clear all expenses. t
Wednesday evening the children
Of the Orphans Home had a Christ
mas tree, and oh, what Christmas
Tree it wasl Nearly sixty children
sat at their little desks ar sazed
1t it with open mouths, ~ dane
ng eyes. There were dol ."t, Joks
md horses and jumping j. andy
md nuts, and all the bright pretty
md useful things that make children
iappy. Each and every child had
our or five presents. The
State giving sixty dollars to buy
PRESENTS for its little wards. Mr..
md Mrs. Parker gave each child
resent, and Mrs. Wimberly, Miss
Barrett and Mrs. Bonnifield gave
ach one some kind remembrance,
While many of Carsons store-keepers
nd private individuals sent pres

Ter faces than those under the
ind and generous care of Mr.. and
1rs. Parker, AL When the presents
ad all been given out, moro than
fly of the little Voices joined in sing
,g praises to Christ the Father OF
