Seneca is aglow with bright an
ttcipations| this week. The Dickson
Adams wedding and the entertain
ments incident thereto, bring to-
gether the bon-ton and with that the
happfest experiences of many friends
and well-wishers. Miss Carrie Hun
ter's linen shower, given on Friday
afternoon for the bride-to-be, was a
distinctly recherche affair, in which
the Gossipers and some invited
friends participated. In the parlor
the bridal white and green were ef-
fectively used, while in the dining
room adjoining, red and white, the
club colors, were found in striking,
but beautiful, contrast. Red lights
were used, rude daylight having been
shut out for the time being. The
long table, with covers for twenty,
extended across the large room, and
was picture with it's immaculate
damask, the handsome center Of re-
naissance holding splendid begonia,
and tall glass vases Of red and white
carnations at either end. Heart
shaped place cards, tied with red,
contatAed verses suited to each guest,
which were read aloud. A delightful
salad course was served, followed
by a sweet course and coffee, after
which the guests repaired to the par
lor to the strains OF Mendeissohn S.
The guest of honor was escorted by
the president of the Gossipers, Miss
Mary Cherry, and found herself sta
toned under the chandelier where
had been previously suspended a
basket containing the dainty gifts Of
many friends. This, at a given word,
was capsiZed, and literally showered
the bride-elect with it's contents. Az
ter the opening Of the packages, the
hostess passed cards with red pencils
attached requesting the guests to
draw q picture of the groom-elect
The very jolliest time. followed, the
prize, silver shoe hook, going to
Miss Mary Cherry. Another inter-
esting feature of the evenings en-
tertainment was the brides bSok, in
which were recorded the wishes of
the guests.

Seneca never had a fuller or hand
somer supply of Xmas goods than
now. Those of our merchants who
make a speciality # these are The
Seneca Pharmacy, Luther A. Moore,
j. A. Brock, h. v. Mattison and o.
F. Bacon. Everything can be found
to suit the taste of wife, husband,
sister, brother, sweetheart, and
everybody. 1t Is a good idea to
shop early and save tho merchants
and clerks the rush which generally
precedes Xmas.
