Rev. A. w. Kokendoffer led the seryi- |
ces. The "Origin of the Order was
read by Mrs. Emmett Bridgford;
s'The Growth by Miss Mabel Hatha-
way; and Mrs. Rixey read a paper on
the chapter TO be organized for the
Old Ladies' Home. These were very
entertaining. Rev Or. Porter gave |
good talk. About fifty we're present. |
Our Piano Winner.
Mrs. Lutte Saunders sang most ex-
Quisitely Ambrose, "One Sweetly |
Thought at st. Paul's
Church last Sunday. She used no |
music. Her clear soprano notes filed
Gods house with fitting melody. She
will render Rock OF Ages, by Shepperd, |
tomorrow. Mrs. Bertha Winslow
Fitch sang the same piece at the
Presbyterian Church here some weeks
ago.
Etarchless Stocks.
There is less Of the severe about
neck higgins this summer and the girl
who Affects the stiff, starched choker
that so mars her white throat, does it
from perverse motives. Even the
crisp tailor-made shirt waist doesn't
call for a severe stock or collar. There
are some delightful stocks made Of
the sheerest white null and lawn, that |
look admirable with wash blouses.
Six O'Clock Dinner.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Luckie were the
glvers. Mr.. and Mrs. Kokendoffer
were the guests of honor. Other
guests were: Mrs. J. W. Mason, Mrs.
Kate Spence, Mr.. and Mrs Elwin
Locke, Mr. and Mrs. Pelide Locke
and Mr.. Sam Locke. The decorations
were flowers out Of Mrs. Luckie's own
yard and were very beautiful. There
is no lawn in town where there are
more flowers that bloom as profusely |
as at Mrs. Luckie's.
Party Given Miss Sykes.
Miss Sykes, of Fredericktown, who |
had been visiting Miss Louise Lack
land, was given a moonlight picnic at |
the Lakeland home last Thursday. |
About twenty Of the younger crowd |
took the mandolin club and baskets of |
good things to eat with them. The
floor of the second story Of the barn
had been cleared and ropes were
stretched to keep them from falling.
A grand breeze added much to the
enjoyment. Mrs. Lamertine Lack
land and Mrs. Harry Lakeland chape-
roned the party. 1t was time long
to be remembered by all. BY the way, |
the young men wore that new gar
ment one hears so much of now, the
shirt waist,
bridesmaids Entertained.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. d. Worrell had their
bridesmaids out Tuesday evening.
Miss Matte Spence, Mrs. Joe Rodes,
Of Sedalia; Mrs. Frank jesse, Mrs. W.
@. johnson, Of Sc. Louis, Mrs. Ned
Rodes was absent, as was Miss Button,
of Kentucky. The other guests were
Mrs. Henry Larimore, Mrs. James
Jesse and guest, Miss Armstrong, Of
Chicago; Mrs. Kerr HIT, Mrs. Arthur
Lee, of Clinton; Mrs. A. C. Hit, Miss
Jennie Larimore, Miss Julia Ross, DR..
Spence, and last, but by no means
least, Miss Annie Jaudon, of Palmyra.
Miss Jaudon came lastweek with the
Baptist Young Peoples Convention.
Her many friends, each claiming a
little visit from her, it is possible
that she will be here some timeand
very probable-longer. don't under
stad how DR.. Spence happened to be
the only one of the lords of creation
there. He was quite a belle, Of
course.
Musleale.
Love tooS up tae harp Of life and smote on
~ the chords witt might
Smote the chord Of self, that trembling, passed
In music out Of sight"
All nature seemed in harmony Fri
day morning, no discordant cloud was
seen; delightful breezes famed the
fair participants Of Mrs. Frank Jesse's
musicale, given for her sister, Mrs
Joe Rodes, of Sedalia, and cousin, Miss
Armstrong, of Chicago. The pro-
grammes we're very prettily decorated
with pen and ink sketches. Those
who took part in the programme were
Misses Stokes, Locke, Deane, Barnes,
Robertson, Mesdames Banks, of Kan
sas City, Rodes, Of Sedalia, and Mr..
Williams. Later a musical romance
was INDUCED In, questions being an
swered by names Of popular songs.
Miss Byrd Locke was the fortunate
one; she had the greatest number OF
correct answers. She was presented
with bunch of carnations and ferns.
A dainty lunch was served, which
made & most appropriate ending to
such charming morning.
