She Wasn't to Blame

Little Polly coming in from her walk
one morning, informed her mother that
she had seen lion in the park. No
amount of persuasion or reasoning
would make her vary her statement.
That night, when she slipped down
on her knees to say her prayers, her
mother said, Polly, ask God to for
give you for that fib.'
Polly hid her face for moment and
looking up in her mothers eyes said,
. l did ask Him, mama, dearest, and
He said, Don't mention it, Miss Polly;

PRETTY AFTERNOON EVENT
OCCURS AT MARCERY HALL
Mrs. George R. Warner, and Mrs. H. S. Barkuoo Enter
tanned Nearly 100 Ladies-Suggestons Of Christmas
Season.

I dered the music. The dancing con-
tinued an hour.
The luncheon room. the smaller oi
the halls, was a veritable dream OF
beauty. There were three tables
two extended ones with small one
between.
The floral decorations were exqui-
site, and at once gave the impression
that the holidays are near. Red
white and green were the colors.
From the ceiling and chandeliers
to the tables below ran dainty stream
ers of smilax, tulle and cedar. The
centerpieces of the tables were
Christmas peppers. Fern leaves laid
here and there along the luncheon
board. vases filled with lovely red
carnations, and other floral pieces as
sisted in making the tables beautiful.
The tables were attractively laid.
Along the walls of the luncheon
hall were groups of hanging ferns
and Christmas flowers.
From the streamers ard hanging
ferns were suspended great numbers
of pretty Christmas bells in red. The
contrast of colors was most effective
and pleasing.
A prettier luncheon room has rare
ly ever been seen in the city. The
decorations were provided and ar
ranged by the Grand Junction Floral
Company, and they were certainly
most successful.
The menu was more than tempting
and the service was above criticism
The hostesses were assisted in SER
wing by Misses Vivian White. Amrah
Smith, Ethel Haskell, Ethel Adams
Anna Louise and Margaret Barkuloo
The tally cards empolyed for the
card games were novel and very
sweet. They were shaped as Christ
mas bells. They were in red and
were hand painted.
The party was one of the largest
of the year. there being nearly one
hundred acceptances.
No hostesses have ever entertained
their guests more pleasantly than did
Mrs Warner and Mrs. Barkuloo.
Theirs was an ideal afternoon func-
ton.

MAN is LOSING THE
RESPECT OF WOMAN

Judge Willard NJ. McEwen, who is
among the republican possibilities
for governor of Illinois. is the en-
bodlment of practical philosophy, and
to this he owes much fhis popu-
larity, says the December Delinea-
tor.
In his six years on the bench in
Chicago, he has tried over 1000 d.
vorce cases, and In every one of them
he has shown his understanding of
human nature and his clear insight
into modern conditions. He does not
content himself merely with looking
at the actual facts as presented by
the lawyers. He goes deeper, exam
ines the reasons under the trouble,
and when ever possible suggests
some readjustment of the marital re-
lations that may result In a reconcil-
iation.
Judge McEwen does not condemn
those who seek divorce SO much as
he deplores the conditions which
have brought about the present state
OF affairs. He holds that social con-
ditions are abnormal. and that the
way to cure the divorce evil is not
to shrek against those who seek a
legal dissolution of marriage, but to
devise some means of developing
more normal men and women, con-
tent to live under more normal con-
ditions. The place of the woman,
he says. to keep the home ard to
rear children, while the man provides
for the daily living. This is the nor
NAL life, which is not by any means
as common as 1t should be.
I'VE men," says the judge. "are
losing the respect of women. Stalls
tics recently compiled by the bureau
of commerce and labor show that one
woman in every five women In the
United States works. That is an ap-
palling proportion. 1t shows both
the reason and the result of the pop
ularity of divorce in this country
Woman naturally looks down on man
when she works beside him day by
day. Either she remains single or
she marries man for whom she
does not have the highest regard OF
which her nature is capable. Having
taken care of herself. naturally she
is independent"

THE COAL
WITH $4,000 AS
Capitalization Farmers Nut
ual Mining Co., Of This
County, File Articles Of
Incorporation.

Today articles of incorporation
were filed with County Clerk starr
by the Farmers Mutual Mining Com
pany of Palisade, with capital
stock of $4,000. divided into 5000
shares of $40 each.
The incorporators of this new Me-
sa county concern are J. w. Hoke,
Richard Sutton, ]. C. Rigg, ]. H.
Shook. J. ]. Bridges. all of Palisade.
The company is organized for the
purpose of buying, selling and de-
veloping coal lands and doing a gen.
eral mining business.
It is said that the company con-
trolls quite a large area of valuable
and rich coal lands in the Palisade
and Garfield sections of the county.
The articles of incorporation are
to run for twenty years.
This company, it is believed, is
the outgrowth of the determination
of many farmers and ranchmen of
the valley to attempt to mine and
secure coal on a cooperative plan
and thereby reduce the price per ton.
1t is known that the company has
strong backing and support. and
its progress and growth will be
watched with interest.
The company will start actual min
ing operations at once.

lovliness here ard there.

of the early hours, and the favors
