Everybody who came across the
bride and groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Ev-
ereft Smith. have been each and in
divtduaily much surprised At finding
them here, for It was supposed they
were safely on their way or had ar
rived In the east ere this. II seems
they took a short trip TO some place
about here and will probably ieave
for the east today.
ii. b. Nichols has arrived at home
from the east important business
matters having FASTENED his return.
Mrs. Drumheller and MrS. Finch
are planning to go to Spirit lake
camping as soon as the weather is
settled. Mr.. and Mrs. Eltfhge went
up there last week with aNview to
purchasing a summer home
The rose carnival came II yester-
day. The roses themselves were
pretty and there was a goodly array
of them. Notwithstanding the fact
that the largest rose growers in
town. Mrs. Stone. Mrs. Phair and Mr..
Jones. hadn't a rose on exhibition
that know of. OF course. their va
rieties are always the best and they
were sadly missed. Somebody made
bunsle of the tables. think 1t
was Mrs. Greenwood who had it in
charge. Everything was in a tangle
and tumble at 1 o'clock. There
didn't seem to be time enough given
people In which to collect roses-it
was gotten up in such a hurry. How
ever. after a final scramble the room
was cleared and the judges allowed
to Judge Next year 1 might suggest
that people begin to make arrange
ments two or three weeks ahead in
stead of the night before. and they
won't be so worn out. There was a
dearth of people there in the after
noon. which Is the time to see the
roses-a regular frost in fact. It's
a wonder the roses stood it. But the
hall was crowded at night. SO 1t
seems that the dance attracts more
than the roses. The young people all
turned out and had good time. The
premiums were very justly awarded
and gave general satisfaction. which
isn't usually the case. A great many
women promise to assist in a thing
of this kind and 1 notice that the
work invariably falls upon a very
few. Almost a third Of the women
who seemed eager to assist in any ar
rangements didn't even show up at
the hall. Responsibility rests lightly
upon some shoulders. Mrs. Jay
Graves had the finest single rose.
Mrs. r. Nuzum had the second finest
single rose. Mrs. Charles Robbins
had the largest collection from one
garden. (Mrs. Stone would have
smiled if she had seen how it com
pared with hers.) Mrs. Herbert
Moore's jacauemenots were the best.
Mrs. DIR. Olmsted's table was the
most artistically arranged. but when
it came to selling the roses and max
ing any money from them 1t looks as
though that day had passed Mrs.
Riblet and Mrs. Perks did nobly. Miss
Harris. too. worked hard. In fact.
there's an awful lot of work connect
ed with a rose fair, but hereafter for
a money-maker they ought not de-
pend upon the roses too much. The
candy table under Miss Cullen was a
great drawing card: also the lemon
AIDE under Mrs. Oudin. Those were
well arranged.
