BelI-Norris.

Virginia and South Carolina were
brought into close and loving relation
when, in Waynesboro, Va, on June Z,
1905, David Leland Norris, young and
promising business man OF Westminster.
5. G., was welded to Miss Norma
James I'll. Bell, of Waynesboro, Va.
The marriage occurred at 1890 a. m. in
the Presbyterian church, the ceremony
being performed by Rev. Charles Strib-
ling, pastor of the fair bride.
Dainty and tasteful was the color
scheme of white and green followed in
the decoration of the church, and over
graceful ferns, nodding palms and happy
guests shone the mellow light of many
candles. The bride was gowned in a
handsome travelling dress of brown silk
and carried BRIDES roses. The groom
was handsome and looked happy over
winning one of Virginia's fair women
The maid of honor, Miss Marguerite
Lambert, wore white organdie with lin
geric hat and carried pink carnations.
The best man was Andrew Norris,
brother of the groom. The ushers were
j. l.. Barksdale, j. McKim Bell. Finley
Mann and George Thrift. Miss Mary
Haines played the wedding march.
Leaving the church by the side en-
trance, Immediately after the ceremony,
The bridal party drove at once to the
Basic City depot whore they took the
yestibnle:: train for Washington. The
ASppy pair were accompanied to the sta
tion by quite number of friends, whose
heavy and long continued shower of rice
they will doubtless long remember. Miss
Norma Bell will be much missed by her
coterie of friends in Virginia, who wish
her much happiness throughout the
journey of life.
A delightful informal reception was
given by Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. FL. Bell to the
young ladies visiting in the house, on
the evening of the 9th Of June. Among
the guests were Misses Elizabeth and
Sallie Price, of Lewisburg, w. Virginia; /;
David and Andrew Norris, Westminster,

The Rosebud was not large tract, about
1900 farms in all, and it has been sur.
rounded for dozen years with cultivated
land that has been sold at from $50 to $40
an acre.
Last summer the town was tougher
than Creole ever was, and the saloons
were the social centers. Things got so
bad that the authorities had to run out the
thugs at the muzzles Of revolvers.
Now all is changed. Alltheyoung women
farmers come from better society than
Bonesteel has ever afforded. With their
arrival a new social set is sprnging up.

formed and a woman's clu b is talked Of

Every state of society is represented in
these proposals Many are from men of
evident refinem .at. while others are crudely
written, but all show an earnestness and
eagerness that may not be altogether lost.
1t Is pretty lonesome keeping vigil for
six months on the prairie, and 1t Is not
likely that many of the women VIII stand
it long. In some cases, where the location
of their claims permits, the young women
have built house at a corner with one
fourth of it resting on each of the four
claims and by this community system they
keep of the blues and still remain within
the law. Some OF the young women are
making summer outing o. it,, and have
brought their mothers and relatives up to
help to relieve the loneliness.
The popular style of architecture ia a
two room house, with barn at a convenient
distance. Lumber has to be hauled over
land and no more is purchased than is
absolutely necessary for shelter.
The law does not require very elaborate
farming for the first few years, but in the
main the young women have started farm
ing in earnest. Most of them have hired
men, hut all of them have gone to work to
learn farming for themselves.
Some Indiana girls. numbered among
the farmers, have organized the Bonesteel
Matrimonial Club. Miss Ruth Partle, from
Frankfort, Ind, is president, and Miss Ella
Thompson, formerly Of Logansport. is
secretary.
The object OF it is to discourage fortune
seekers. All who sign the constitution
pledge themselves not to marry for year.
bylaw requires that young men desiring
to marry any member must serve an ap-
premiership Of one year on the farm of the
young woman he desires to marry.
If in that time he can demonstrate that
he is the proper man and the young woman
is willing to marry him, the club gives its
consent and a substantial bridal present.
If he fails to win the young woman's love,
he is entitled to wages for his term, but if
the fault lies with him, that is, that he can
not prove himself worthy helpmeet, he
forfeits his wages.
He can have one more trial, but must
serve a second year under the same re-
strictions. If he proves his moral worth
and wins the girl the club gives a dowry
and attends the wedding in body.
These feminine homesteaders are OF a
different type than those found in pioneer
settlements, The explanation lies in the fact
that the lands they have drawn In the lottery
are worth many times as much as land given
out at other openings Of reservation land.

RAW ASPARAGUS SALAD.

by Only Fortunate Few.
Most housekeepers do not know that
ono Of the most delicious Of salads Is made
from raw asparagus 1t Is also one OF the
most expensive. and Is to be had only by
those who have asparagus beds Of their
own, or are able to pay market gardener
near at hand TO furnish the asparagus in
the condition necessary for the SUCCESS OF
the salad.
In order that raw asparagus salad may
be really worth eating the stalks must be
cut when they barely show point above
ground. The length Of stalk used should
Stalks OF this length. growing almost
entirely underground, are white, crisp and
tender. They have the CHARACTERISTIC
slightly bitter. taste Of asparagus, but 1t
Is not 80 marked as in stalks that grow
several inches above ground.
The stalks should be cut late in the after
noon or after sunset, 80 that they shall be
fresh and cool. They would probably
be the better If an earthen flower pot had
been turned over them from noon onward,
and they should be thoroughly cooled In
fact. they are likely to be the better. il
they are brought to the table In bowl OF
cracked ice.
simple French dressing, not too oily.
but not over sharp with vinegar Ia the
proper accompaniment Of raw asparagus
salad, and If the asparagus has been prop
erly p epared and the ingredients OF the
dressing have been nicely proportional
the result is a salad unlike any other. and
especially unlike the excellent salad made
from cold cooked asparagus.
Such a salad is extravagant because 1t
involves the use Of the asparagus twenty
four hours or more before it has reached
the growth at which it is usually eaten.
To make a proper d ish twice the usual num-
Der of stalks must be used. and they must
be cut when they have attained half or
less than half their size.
So the salad may be said to cost at least
four times as much as the cooked aspara-
gus salad ordinarily served. 1t is useless
to attempt to make raw asparag gus salad
from the ordinary asparagus Of commerce
because it lacks the very qualities that
make the young home grown asparagus
fit for this special use.
