Social Event.

The Sub Rosa club entertained at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Roscoe
Smith from 3 to 9 on the afternoon
of New Years day, and the recep-
ton was without doubt the event of
the holiday diversions.
The house was most beautifully
and tastefully decorated in the
club colors Of lavendar and white,
and when one was usbered in and
greeted with CHEEKY wish for the
happy New Year and the spicy, fra
grant aroma OF many carnations
and roses was waited to the senses,
they felt as if they'd wandered into
some fairy bower by mistake; but
when a second look was taken and
the vision of the many beautifully
women, the shaded candelabra and
the well-fflled punch bowl was
borne IN upon you, one could then
realize that this was the first day OF
the newborn year-19O4.
The day was finished by pro-
gressive finch party, which includ-
ed only the ladies of the club and
their husbands.

Twenty years ago the town Of
Mountain Home was comparatively
unknown outside of the general Of
fee of the Oregon Short Line rail

Insensibly his mood changed ana
softened. Marion must care deal for
him after all. He might, indeed, have
been hasty in speaking so strongly
about her friendly association with
young Villers. 4Villers was little more
than boy-a lonely boy, in the
shadow of a new and crushing sorrow.
If he had not been also so disgusting
ly rich, so confoundedly handsome
but what was the use of going over all
that? He, Redmond, had had it out
with Marion-in result the diamond he
had hopefully fitted to her slim finger
lay sparkling family in the shifting
light upon the mantel underneath the
giver's hand.
He would never take it back-that
went without saying. He had loved so
to see it flash back rainbows as her
fingers moved here or there. And he
had had not the least thought of seri-
GUS quarrel-only to let her see that
now she belonged to him, she must
give no occasion for the slightest Cos
sip. Gossip! There lay the root OF
trouble. 1t was his Aunt Margaret
and old Miss Maxon's talk, that had
upset him. They We're never done
