WHITE FLOWERS.

Among the white flowers, Of which it
is we'll always to have generous sup,
ply, sweet alyssum is standard and
much in favor because Of its easy cul-
ture, its Responsiveness and its pro-
fuse bloom, to say nothing of it's sweet
perfume. White yerbenasS are extreme
1y pretty, but it is not always easy to
cultivate them to- perfection: White
violets are exquisitely beautiful, but
they are not to be had for the ask
ing and often not for the coaxing and
pleading. White balsams are very east
ly grown are are very pretty for fiat
bouquets. The Feverfew can always
be depended upon, while white sweet
peas are as exquisite white flower as
one can cultivate One can also have
white mignonette, very valuable addi-
tion indeed, to the not very long list
of white flowers White phlox, pc
tunias, pansies and carnations are all
easily cultivated; while no garden is
complete without at least one white
rose..i u

Eastern Star Social.

Last night occurred the Social
of Valley Chapter No. 26, and
it was largely attended by the
members of the Order and their
friends. C. Stoddard was mas
ter Of ceremonies, and j. B. Ly-
on was door keeper to attend to
the financial part of the cere-
mony.
After the Chapter was closed,
the door was thrown open to
visitors, and soon the large hall
was a live, laughing, talking,
mass of humanity.
The first ON the program was
a piano selection by Miss Della
Harris, which was much enjoy
ed by all, so much so, that she
was called back to delight the
guests with another selection.
The next was a solo by Mrs.
R. C. Hills, with Mrs. Gorge A.
Kellogg at the piano. This was
heartily encored, and Mrs. Hills,
as she always does. delighted
the audience with her sweet and
musical voice.
The next was reading a selec-
ton by Prof. Treadway, of the
High School, in which he fully
established his reputation as a
fine reader and deliniator Of
character. His effort was high
ly appreciated, so much so, that
he was forced to respond to an
encore.
Next on the program was re-
freshments. Members and Wis
itors were seated around the
room, and in social clusters as
each chose, and then ladies, in
long white aprons, appeared,
with refreshments, and they ac
quilted themselves in fine style.
intact, the most accomplished
dining room girl could not have
done better, and all went merry
as a marriage bell.
After all had been served, a
move was made for the adjoin-
ing hall, where those who wish
ed, could enjoy a social dance,
while others remained in the
lodge room to enjoy a visit, and
pass a pleasant hour, and when
the time came to say goodnight,
all felt regret that time had
passed so swiftly away, and all
wished the time to soon come
when a like occasion may come
again. ~
